The phone got lost in the mail. You could see that I did not get it but will not refund until I fill out a phone and review the form. My son worked hard to buy this phone. He cannot get another until we get know this one has been refunded.

We are so pleased you are happy with your new iPhone 14! We appreciate your kind words and trust.
Bogus claims during inspection about my device being different than what was quoted and my screen being cracked. This led to a substantially lower payout than quoted. Couldn't speak to anyone who could help. Writing to the BBB now.

Ordered a 256gb phone and was sent a 128gb l email numerous times with no response, finally I called and spoke to the call center and they were very unprofessional. I bought phones from here before but will NEVER do business with them again.

I know you have 72 hours to respond. I have a phone that is blocked by AT&T because the previous owner has an outstanding balance. I am in limbo waiting to see if (hopefully) I can return the phone which is currently useless. I cannot afford to pay for another phone and am without a phone and at the mercy of Gazelle customer service. I hope to update this review after a favorable outcome.

This is the fourth time that we’ve purchased a phone from Gazelle, and we haven’t had any problems yet! We went with a refurbished iPhone from Walmart and had to return it within 3 weeks.
