Refurbed introduces trade-in service in six European countries

How the trade-in service works

The new trade-in service supports devices from eight major manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, and Huawei. Customers can easily select the model they wish to sell on refurbed.ie, receive an offer within minutes based on the device’s condition, and ship the product using a free shipping label provided by Refurbed. Once dispatched, the phone is sent to one of the company’s accredited refurbishers, where it gets a second life.

We believe this is a strategic move for Refurbed. As a well-established brand with access to millions of customers, launching a trade-in service should seamlessly attract their growing user base. However, the success of this initiative will largely depend on how Refurbed’s trade-in pricing stacks up against competitors and how user-friendly their trade-in process is for customers.

A step towards reducing e-waste

Refurbed’s mission is to make sustainability a core element of their business model. By introducing this trade-in service, they are working toward reducing the demand for new resources and supporting the circular economy. With electronic waste on the rise globally, such efforts are crucial in creating a more sustainable future for the tech industry.
