Scammers
Scammers! Quote was £164 for for my Samsung, sent in original box with screen protector still in place and they tried to tell me there were black spots on screen and would pay £20!!! Insisted on a return and low and behold phone is in the same perfect condition! Avoid & don't waste your time.

Con merchants
Con merchants. Offered £169 for a Samsung phone, and then said it was damaged, new offer £92. It was not damaged when sent. The phone always has full screen protection. I see I'm not the only person making this comment. Dodgy.

Thieving company
Thieving company. Sent my phone to them in a plastic envelope that they sent to me, the equivalent of which you can get at the post office for £1. Quoted me £60ish online to buy the phone. Had no contact other than to say theyd received it. After chasing, apparently my phone was not "up to standard" and they wanted £35 to give me my own phone back. I just sold a £200 memory card on ebay and sent it to the paying customer for £5. In no world is there any way sending a mobile in the post is £35. Daylight robbery. Avoid at all costs.

Dear Ryuken,
We're sorry you're disappointed. We advise customers before sending their device that Asset-Watch devices are not accepted, both in our pre-sale email and within our terms and conditions. If a Asset-Watch device is received, a return postage and handling fee applies should you wish to have it returned.
We strive to be transparent throughout the process, and the information regarding Asset-Watch devices and return charges is provided before a device is sent to us.
Many Thanks,
Hannah

No hesitation in recommending Meelie Mobile. My old Google Pixel 8a was picked up by Royal Mail, delivered to them 2 days later, assessed by Meelie on that same day & I was paid the confirmed amount within 24 hours.
I had no problems, the communication & service was excellent & they did exactly what they said they'd do.
I've got no hesitation in recommending them & will almost certainly use them again in future.

Good experience
Quick and easy process, and offered the best price on the market for my iphone 17 pro max. Had no issue with sending via Special Delivery and was kept updated by text and email all the way through. No issue with grading and received the amount quoted on the same day as they received the phone. I usually go to Music Magpie or Mazuma but will definitely be checking these guys going forward!

Flawless service, full payout, zero games! Highly recommend.
I recently sold my high-value Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to Meelie Mobile, and the entire experience was flawless. The parcel was tracked safely all the way to their warehouse. Because it’s a high-value device, they requested a quick ID verification for security, which was incredibly easy to complete online. By Monday morning, I received an email confirming that the phone met all expectations, and the full quoted price of £510.00 was locked in. Unlike other recyclers who try to find excuses to devalue your device, Meelie is completely honest and transparent. The funds hit my bank account by Monday afternoon via Faster Payments. Absolutely brilliant service—I will definitely use them again!

Very happy to recommend Meelie
Very happy to recommend Meelie. Due to my useless local Royal Mail, the pack arrived late and by the time I was able to send it, the ten day period had lapsed. Notwithstanding, they honoured the offer and between advising me they had the mobile and crediting my account was a matter of only a couple of hours. Will use again.
