Phobio has streamlined the entire process of trading in our computers…which means I don’t have to worry about coordinating logistics. Their friendly and responsive approach, along with their flexibility in working with our fully remote team, has saved me a lot of time and helped us reduce the cost of our new machines.

You guys make this process so much easier – and that’s why I went with you. It’s easy.

Managing our fleet of end-of-life devices is a simple process now. I send a list of our devices to Phobio, they get me pricing on our old computers and after we accept the quote, they handle the shipping, inspection and payment. Having a simplified process is really important to me.

Easier than I thought it would be. I went to the UPS Store and sent my IPad back to Phobio with the label that I printed out and about three weeks later I received a Costco shop card. I couldn’t ask for anything easier. 🤗

Was a very simple and easy process. I mistakenly put in wrong phone version and ended up getting a lower value for the trade in which was disappointing but my fault.

It was great to have a trade-in option at the time of purchasing a new iPad. The mailing kit and instructions were straightforward and the review of my device was relatively quick. The only downside is the use of a prepaid Visa card, as I would have preferred a credit to my own card.

Everything worked well. Having a phone number to call with issues that might arise would help with the trade in process.

It is an environmentally the way to get rid of old electronics. It couldn’t be easier. Clear directions to clean my unwanted device, easy to use packaging sent to my door and a close drop off. Much closer and easier than going to the electronic drop off at our landfill.

Trade in was made easy because you didn’t have to jump through too many hoops to sell your device. Phobio communicated throughout the process. Price was not the highest, but it was very fair considering that you had to only answer three questions before getting a quote.

Phobio is so helpful with recycling of electronics and the trade-in amount was generous. Who can’t use a loaded gift card for Costco?!
Communication is timely and helpful. You always are informed of steps along the process. I think this was my third trade-in with Phobio and am sure it won’t be my last.
