How are the electronics evaluated?
The electronics are evaluated using a special software called iTools. This software makes sure the model is correct and tests all functionality of the device(s). Once we have finished we manually grade the phone to be flawless, good, cracked screen only or damaged. We assess the physical condition of the item(s) to see if the category you selected matches its description. We look to see for scratches, dents, etc. We also look to see if the item(s) is real or counterfeit, as well as look to see if there was any tampering done to the item. Your item(s) is then checked for water damage. Lastly, we look to make sure that all passwords are removed so we can reset the phone and wipe out all personal information. If your evaluation was accurate, we will send you the money in the method you select. If not, we will offer you a new price, which you can accept, or ask for your item(s) back. Rest assured, at SaveGadget.com, we give you the most value for your item.
What if I do not agree with the evaluation of my phone?
If you do not agree with the inspection results of your phone, you can ask for another inspection to ensure the same results. If you are not satisfied we will return your device free of charge.
What should I do with my SIM card?
Remove your SIM card as we do not need it. But do not worry if you forget, we will discard a SIM card while inspecting your device.
What if I’m not sure about the condition of my product?
Just select a condition that you feel is accurate. Once we receive your item(s), we will evaluate it and adjust the offer evenly.
Please note that the final offer price could end up being higher or lower. If it’s lower, we will email you about the adjustment and you have 3 days to accept the offer. If you do not respond within the 3 day time period, we will assume you have accepted the offer and will initiate the payment.
What if I am unsure of the model of my item(s)?
Most items have their model type or number on the inside of the phone under the battery.
iPhone models can be found under the Settings – General – About – Model number. If you search this model number on Google you will find out the exact model of your iPhone.
If you still aren’t able to figure out what item you have, contact us via email or give us a call and one of our representatives will be more than happy to assist you.
