  2. Ship Your Device: If you accept the quote, you ship your device to us using the shipping method/label we provide, following our packaging instructions.
  3. Inspection: Upon receipt, we inspect the device to confirm it matches the condition and specifications you provided.
  4. Final Offer:
  • If the device matches your description, we will pay the quoted amount.
  • If the device differs materially (e.g., damage not disclosed, incorrect model/storage, failed activation lock check), we will send a revised offer. You may accept the revised offer or request the device be returned to you (return shipping terms below).
