We accept trade-in on multiple categories, including; Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones, Gaming Consoles Smart watches and a range of Special offers.

Traded-in devices are checked, and any data still stored on them is securely wiped. They’re then sent to a third-party for re-use – most are sent to developing markets where laptop and tablet use is growing rapidly.

Keeping your data and sensitive information secure is our top priority. When we receive a device for trade-in, we (or an approved third-party) wipe the data stored on it – this is done to Infosec Standard 5 (the same standard as UK government data destruction). If you trade-in an iOS device, we delete the encryption key so that any stored data can’t be deciphered. If your device can’t be wiped, the data storage components will be destroyed, and the waste materials recycled.

Once you’ve got an online quote from us, you’re free to trade-in your device or keep it – the choice is yours.
