MFYP have been recycling products for a couple of years know, they offer some excellent prices but have been known to downgrade the value of devices. We recommend customer select a more trusted recycler

Don't even consider using this company - seem ok at first, promptly sending postage pack etc. I sent off my iphone, special delivery packed in bubble wrap and padded envelope £6.25: they immediately halved their offer saying the back was badly scratched. The back had no scratches when they got it, they upped the offer by £6, I said no so they sent it back - with a heavily scratched back looks as if they have taken sandpaper to it and I am not even sure it is the same phone. Lost my postage and phone now worth less but at least these sharks haven't made money on it

Sent phone to them because they gave me the best price, sometimes not the best thing as they got back to me saying the home button on it was not working and I have had the phone for to years now and never have had a problem.Then when you call them they put you on hold and cut you off after wait 25 min.All I have to say keep well clear of this company

I tried to trade my iPhone 4. The service was extremely slow and they then downgraded the value of the phone significantly. In the end I requested the phone be returned. I feel badly misled and extremely unhappy with my experience.

Despite me sending them an iPhone that had spent it's entire life within a robust case, together with a screen protector, MFYP claimed the back of the phone was extensively scratched. Utter nonsense. They reduced the online quote from £70 to £40! I called them and got it raised to £49. I'd already spent £7 sending it to them via special delivery, and didn't want to have to do the same to send it to another recycler, so reluctantly accepted. Won't be using them again and I recommend you steer well clear.

The immediate emails and prompt delivery of the detailed sales pack filled me with confidence. Money For Your Phone delayed my promised payout into my paypal account and basically made this one of the most painful processes compared to selling it elsewhere.
