Selling a phone in Ottawa

Ottawa is a government town with lots of work-phone upgrades, and personal phones that end up in a drawer. Pick your device and condition, ship it free with our prepaid label, and get paid by e-Transfer once it passes our check.

Kanata North tech workers: last year’s Pixel or iPhone Pro is worth more now than in six months. Sell it soon.

Ottawa trade-in questions

Straight answers before you ship.

How long does shipping take from Ottawa?

Expedited parcels from Ottawa usually reach us in 1 to 3 business days. Your offer is locked for 10 days from your quote, so drop the box off within that window and you keep your price.

Can I drop off my phone in person in Ottawa?

No. We're an online buyer with no storefront, so every trade-in ships with our prepaid label. Pick-up is paused for now.

How fast do I get paid in Ottawa?

We pay by e-Transfer within 24 hours to 3 business days of your device arriving.

My phone is on a Ontario carrier plan. Can I still sell it?

Yes. We buy phones from Bell, Rogers, Telus, Freedom, Koodo, Fido and Virgin Plus customers. A paid-off phone gets our full offer. Financed phones get a 20% lower offer (30% for Bell, Vidéotron, Virgin Plus and Freedom) because a balance is still owed to the carrier. We can't buy phones reported lost or stolen or locked to an account.

Is it safe to ship my phone?

Yes. The label is tracked from drop-off to our door. If inspection finds a different condition, we send you a revised offer first. Sign out of your accounts and erase the phone before you send it.

Do you buy cracked phones in Ottawa?

Yes. Pick Cracked or Minor Issue for cracked glass. Damaged or dead phones are bought for parts at a much lower price.

Which models do you buy?

iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, iPad, Apple Watch, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. See what we pay for every model.
