Buying A Used Cellphone And Get What You Paid For?
Buying a used cellphone over the internet is always a scary moment. Will you receive what you paid for is always the biggest question? How can you make the transaction smooth and guaranteed to satisfy both parties especially you? I have personally used this service to purchase a cell phone. That transaction went smoothly. I also purchased another phone for my wife that went wrong but more on that later.
Get What You Paid For
So what is the secret to purchasing a used phone online and be guaranteed that the product you receive is what you ordered? Welcome to Glyde.com. When you get to the Glyde home page you have two options Buy or Sell. You can buy cell phones, tablets or eReaders, iPods, or video games. Each category is organized to help you find your needed item quickly. But I digress, this article is about cell phones.
What To Expect On Glyde.com
When you click on the cellphone you arrive at a page on the left-hand side is the list of network carriers that the phone will be used on. You can narrow your search by brand, network, capacity, and color. If you click the network type the next page will deliver all phones that work on that network starting at the top of the page alphabetically with the newest phones and progressing to the oldest phones.
The phones are categorized by model, memory capacity, and color. Scroll to the model, memory, and color of your choice. Click on the buy button and you will be taken to the page for that phone. This page has all the pertinent information on the phone, condition, the year it came out, screen size, color, memory capacity, included accessories, and of course price with shipping. The sellers set their own price for the phones so be sure to check the condition versus the price for the best value.
Once you have a phone picked out you will need to supply the usual information. After the purchase the process goes like this, Glyde will send the seller a pre-paid postage, pre-addressed shipping kit to ship the phone to you. The shipping kit is a very sturdy cardboard box with foam to support the phone during shipment.
If You Must Initiate A Return
When the phone arrives at your location you have 3 days to check it out. If necessary, initiate a return. Use the email that was sent to you when you purchased the phone. Returns are based on the item being not-as-described or unlockable. If you initiate a return Glyde will send you a pre-paid postage, pre-addressed shipping kit to ship the phone back to the seller. If you initiate a return a good set of photos that highlight the flaws would be handy to have on hand for any further communication with Glyde.
