AWFUL. I sent back an old iPad in EXCELLENT condition. Not a scratch on it. I used the packaging BBW sent me, and added additional newspaper to cushion it further. Was supposed to have been inspected in 2-3 business days. When 2 weeks had gone by with no word on my device, I e-mailed customer service to ask about the status and shortly after received a message that my item failed inspection due to "heavy wear." They offered me a significantly reduced quote, which I rejected, and asked them to return my item to me. When I received it, it was completely SHATTERED. Screen and housing broken and splintered as if someone took a hammer to it. This damage likely occurred in the company's warehouse, whether intentionally or inadvertently, and they took ZERO responsibility for it. The bottom line is this company failed to provide adequate protection of my item in the process of transit, receipt, unpacking, and inspection; and as a result rendered my old but pristine device completely worthless.

Got an email saying they received an empty pouch that the weight of the pouch reflects that I did not mail it. I absolutely did! I did exactly as I was told to do and now am stuck with ZERO

Reliable Company, Strong Offers
August 2, 2022

I have found BuyBackWorld to typically provide the highest offer and have always come through. I rate them down one star because the shipping material they provide now is subpar.

Best offer and easy shipping

I tried a couple other places to sell my headphones, but BuyBackWorld had the best offer. Absolutely no hassle, free shipping, label and carton. Can't beat that.

Dissappointed
February 5, 2019

I was told the phone wouldn't power up. I had used it many times before sending and we I got it back, it powered right up.
I'd previously had sent a phone and the process was outstanding.
