Device Value & Condition
How estimates, inspections and final offers are determined.
The estimate is based on the exact model, storage capacity, age, physical condition, screen and body condition, battery performance, functionality, accessories, warranty status and current resale demand.
The online amount is an estimate based on the information you provide. The final price is confirmed after our specialist verifies the model, condition and functionality during inspection.
The final price may change if the device model, storage, condition or functionality differs from the submitted information, or if there are issues such as screen damage, weak battery health, repaired parts, account locks or missing accessories.
Some damaged devices may still be eligible. Clearly select the correct condition and disclose screen, body, battery, camera, charging, software or other faults so we can provide the fairest possible evaluation.
Original accessories, box, invoice and remaining warranty may support a better evaluation, but eligibility depends mainly on the device model, condition and working status.
Yes. Inspection does not force you to sell. If you do not accept the confirmed offer, you may keep your device, subject to any terms clearly shown when arranging the service.
Pickup & Payment
Prepare your device and understand what happens at collection.
SWAPHO offers free doorstep pickup for eligible confirmed requests within supported service areas. Any exceptional location or service condition will be communicated before confirmation.
Choose an available date and time while submitting your device. To change an existing appointment, contact support with your name, phone number and request details as early as possible.
Back up your personal data, sign out of cloud and manufacturer accounts, disable Find My Device or Activation Lock, remove SIM and memory cards, and keep the device charged for inspection.
Most inspections are completed during the pickup appointment. Complex faults, bulk orders or devices requiring additional verification may take longer, and our team will explain this before proceeding.
Payment is arranged after the device passes inspection and you accept the confirmed price. The available payment method and timing will be confirmed with you before ownership is transferred.
There are no hidden charges in the normal selling process. The confirmed offer and any applicable conditions will be explained before you agree to complete the sale.
Data Safety & Support
Protect your information and complete your sale safely.
You should always create a backup and erase personal data before handover. Sign out of iCloud, Google, Microsoft and other accounts and remove all locks. Our team can guide you, but you remain responsible for backing up important information.
Yes, after backing up your data and signing out of all accounts. If an inspection requires the device to remain accessible, follow the instructions given by our team and complete the reset before final handover.
For security and ownership verification, SWAPHO may request valid identification, proof of purchase or other reasonable information, especially for high-value, unusual or bulk transactions.
No. You must be the lawful owner and the device must not be stolen, reported lost, blacklisted, subject to an unpaid finance obligation or locked to another person’s account.
Depending on its condition, the device may be prepared for reuse, resale or responsible recycling. Reuse helps extend the life of electronics and reduces unnecessary electronic waste.
