Brilliant experience from start to finish. Happy with the price offered for my device. I received the packaging and instructions a couple of days later and payment was made very efficiently.

My older Samsung Galaxy A13 5G…

My older Samsung Galaxy A13 5G Smartphone was not honestly that bad it was in great working condition the Volume was working well and the Camera's also we're working well and the apps all were working Fantastically well apart from a minor Scratch on the Screen I was offered £15 from a Local Shop as a second hand buying phones. I'm not HQ with your Trade -In service. From Mr Harjinder Singh

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed with the trade-in value. On inspection, the device was received with a cracked screen, which classifies it as faulty under our grading criteria and impacts the valuation.

If you’d like any further clarification on the assessment, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to explain this in more detail.

Kind regards,
Argos Trade-In

Great customer service.

Updated: I received a call today from Billy in customer services and several follow ups after he acted upon the feedback — honestly, a credit to the MTR team. I felt genuinely listened to, and he not only understood my concerns but agreed that improvements are needed to the customer journey — specifically around better informing customers about reasons a product may fall below their standards and what that means financially. I’d welcome those changes and hope they improve the overall experience for future customers.

My original review -I think it’s terrible that you lure people in with a favourable price but then offer less than half for any issue. My Mac battery was apparently tested at 76% (bear in mind the battery settings stated normal) and due to it being under 80% you would only give me less than half the stated amount.

It’d be better to be transparent to people about price tiers so that they’re better informed before sending off their electronics to you.

Not great if I'm honest. Still not great if I'm honest.

Not great if I'm honest.

Update: Just taken a call from your 'customer service' team. Team member was arguementative and did not offer to resolve anything. Just over talked me.

Yes, you're right. Still not resolved.

Still not great...in fact pretty poor service. Won't use again....there are better companies around.
