Why trade in
We have over 300 stores you can come to in the UK where you can talk to our colleagues and they will be happy to guide you through your Trade-in. Our experts have done extensive training and have all the accreditations to process, test and wipe your old tech to government standards. We have traded-in millions of devices over the years.
How does it work
Instore: Bring your old device and your estimate reference into store (if you have one – don’t worry if not, we’ll create on in store). We’ll process your trade in and give you a e-giftcard towards the new product you’ve selected. This gift card can be used instantly, and we will take care of everything else.
Online: Once you have completed your quote, there will be an option to complete the quote online. We will capture some of your details so we can communicate with you about your trade-in and provide the right postage labels. Once your device has arrived with us, we will confirm the quote and process the payment.
For example:
You want to Trade-in in a Mobile Phone.
You use our online calculator to see how much it is worth.
You are offered £45 for your device.
You choose to complete the quote online.
We will need to take a few details from you (to send a bank transfer once we have validated your product).
We will send you a trade-in pack, with everything you need to package and send your phone* in. Simply slide your phone into the 100% recyclable pack and follow the instructions.
Once it arrives, our experts open and assess the phone, to make sure it matches the online quote.
Phone and quote match!
Our experts release the bank transfer, which means you will see your payment in next 3-5 days.
We will now take your phone and work our magic to make sure we give it a longer life – this could be refurbishment, reuse, parts, or recycling.
*for some devices you might be given a link to generate a free Royal Mail tracked postage label rather than a dedicated trade-in pack – please follow the guidance provided online.
Instore: as part of our instore trade-in, we will provide you with a Currys e-giftcard! This will be sent straight to your email, and can be used instantly.
Online: once you have posted your device, its arrived and we have checked it against the valuation, we will release the bank transfer. This can take 3 to 5 days to get to you once we have authorised it.
We will always wipe and test your product initially. Once we have confirmed the condition/value of your product, and identified they don’t match, we will contact you with options.
Normally this means an alternative price (typically a non-working price). You can then decide if you want to accept this valuation, or we can return the product to you free of charge.
We always check your product and make sure any data still stored on it is securely wiped.
We then help tech live on and on. Our 1000's of experts work their magic repairing your tech if it breaks down. And, with trade-in, they can help your old tech find a new life, while you upgrade to something better This could be resuse, repair and finding the best route for your product. That way, we help the planet and your pocket too.
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. If the device you send us using the pre-paid label provided online differs from the one we quoted you on or the device you bring into store differs from the one you’ve specified online, the quote we gave you won’t apply. Once you’ve traded in a device, we won’t be able to return it.
What you can trade in
We accept trade in on a range of categories, including; Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones, Gaming Consoles and Smart watches. We also have a range of Special offers. To see whether yours qualifies, it’s quickest to use our online ‘get an estimate’ on this page. If your device specifications are listed, you can trade-in. You can also trade in your mobile phone at our sister brand, Carphone Warehouse (don’t worry the price is the same!).
You’ll be able to trade in your device as long as it’s not counterfeit or broken beyond repair. When you get your quote, we list the kind of failures that we will accept on your trade in product. If you’re still not sure, simply bring your device into any Currys store. There’s been an increase in counterfeit devices in the UK market. They might look like originals, but they are illegally produced, and can be dangerous to use. We won’t be able to accept these items for trade in. You can always take advantage of our latest recycling offers, where you can get at least £5 off your next eligible purchase for any old tech products you recycle with us in-store. Magic!
It depends on the problem. Please go through our quotation calculator to find out. If we cannot offer a value then you can use our recycling service instore for free. You can always take advantage of our latest recycling offers, where you can get at least £5 off your next eligible purchase for any old tech products you recycle with us in-store. Magic!
Worth noting - some of our promotions & offers accept working or non-working devices!
No, you must cancel your current care plan and take out a new one should you wish. Click here to see popular services.
Instore, we offer a data rescue service in store for a fee, this would need to be completed before your trade-in (for products whilst hold data).
Online, once we have received and processed your device, the device will be data wiped to ensure that all data is removed. Unfortunately, we are unable to back up the data of the device once it has been received by ourselves.
At this moment in time, you can only trade in B2B Laptops online. If you have purchased your new laptop in store, you will have a B2B order number on your receipt. You’ll need to enter this, so we can match up your trade in with your purchase (it also means we can pay any promotional amounts if applicable!).
