Markham trade-in questions
Can I drop off my phone in person in Markham?
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 Markham?
We pay by e-Transfer within 24 hours to 3 business days of your device arriving. Parcels from the Markham area usually arrive in 1 to 2 business days.
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. Decline it and we return your device free. Sign out of your accounts and erase the phone before you send it.
Do you buy cracked or financed phones in Markham?
Yes to both. Pick Cracked or Minor Issue for cracked glass. Financed phones get a 25% lower offer because a balance is still owed to the carrier. We can't buy phones reported lost or stolen or locked to an account.
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.

FAQs
The questions people always ask
How long does payment take?
We pay within 24 hours to 3 business days of receiving your device.
How long is my quote valid?
Your quote is locked for 10 days. Ship it or book your pick-up within that window, or the quote expires and you'll need a new one.
Do I need to remove my accounts?
Yes. Before you send it, sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My (iPhone), or remove your Google and Samsung accounts (Android), then take out your SIM card. We can't buy a device that's still locked to an account.
What if my phone is cracked?
We still buy it. Choose Cracked or Minor Issue in the quote tool to see your price.
What if inspection finds a different condition?
We send you a revised offer. Accept it and we pay the new amount. Decline it and we return your device free.
Do you buy locked or financed phones?
We can't buy phones that are blacklisted, reported lost or stolen, or locked to an iCloud or Google account. Phones still on a financing plan or carrier contract are fine: the offer is 25% lower because a balance is still owed to the carrier. Keep paying your carrier as normal.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Every device we buy is securely wiped before it's resold. Back it up and reset it before you send it, too.
