Horrible experience- never again

Horrible experience- never again
I previously sent my iPhone to Swappie for repair, and they replaced the battery. After the repair, my iPhone showed a warning that it was unable to verify the battery as a genuine Apple part.(They said the warning is normal
And will disappear)
When the battery developed problems again, I sent the phone back to Swappie. They have now had my phone for around three weeks, despite initially communicating a repair time of approximately 10 days.
After all this waiting, I was told that the battery is faulty but is no longer covered by their 12-month battery warranty. (I had a warranty of 24 month when purchasing the phone and was not aware the battery warranty was shorter) They are asking me to pay another €38 to replace the battery that Swappie themselves installed during the previous repair.
I find this extremely frustrating and unfair. I have had this phone for 18 months and this is my second issue - never again…

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we are truly sorry for your frustrating experience.

First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize for the delay in your warranty service. Having to wait this long is completely unacceptable, and we have already passed your feedback directly to the responsible team to improve our processing times.

Regarding the battery warranty, we do state on our website and in our Terms and Conditions that because a battery is a consumable part that naturally wears down over time, its warranty coverage is 12 months.

However, regarding your recent case, we re-checked the testing results of your battery and want to acknowledge that a technical error was made in interpreting the diagnostic data. Your battery shows an abnormal level of wear, and as a result, we will replace it free of charge. Our customer support team will contact you directly in the very near future with an update on your order.

Best regards,
the Swappie team

800€ for an iPhone that was suppose to…

800€ for an iPhone that was suppose to have a new battery... they've added some cheap garbage that occasionally drains the battery from 60-70% to 10% in a blink of an eye. The device does not recognize the battery so that will cause other issues as well.

I can't recommend but advice to avoid Swappie as long as they clearly state that they only use proper spare parts.

1 star for misleading - using third party bs parts should definitely drop the price significantly.
Considering all this, Swappie is actually very expensive so personally I will just buy new devices in the future. This is not worth it.

Hello,

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and we are truly sorry that your battery is showing abnormal behavior.

We would like to clarify that we use original spare parts whenever possible. If an original part is not available, we use high-quality alternatives that are carefully selected by our technicians based on their extensive experience and functional performance. When a battery is replaced, newer iPhone models display an "Unknown Part" system notification by default. This is a standard iOS message, but a sudden battery drain is definitely abnormal and suggests a defect with that specific unit.

We apologize for the disappointment this has caused and would love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our customer support team at info@swappie.com or WhatsApp so we can investigate your order, perform a diagnostic, and arrange a replacement or warranty repair as quickly as possible.

Best regards,
the Swappie team

Fantastic company to deal with

Fantastic company to deal with and liked the fact I could choose the grade of phone and new battery.The phone I received was like a brand new one with no damage or scratches.Now I know I added new battery and excellent condition plus the 512 GB memory which I probably will never use 😂 but I’d rather have it just in case but the €589 price tag for an iPhone 13 Pro was probably a bit high however you get what you pay for and i will definitely be buying from swappie again in the future.The delivery was quick also,Great job guys

Warranty problem

I sent my phone to Swappie during the warranty period because it had internet connectivity issues. Unfortunately, they returned the phone without fixing the problem. I contacted customer service to ask why the issue had not been repaired, but I never received a response. This was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the device was still under warranty. I expected better communication and proper warranty support.

Hello,

We are very sorry to hear that the issue with your phone was not resolved and that you experienced delays in getting a response from us. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

Please be assured that all phones undergo a mandatory, multi-stage quality control check after any repair, and the connectivity issue was unfortunately not detected during those tests.

We sincerely apologize that you have had to wait longer than usual for a reply. When we experience a high volume of customer inquiries, our response times can unfortunately be longer than expected. Our customer support team will get back to you as soon as possible to carefully investigate your issue and help resolve it under your warranty.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
the Swappie team

SAID I GAVE DIFFERENT PHONE

Eventually received my money for my phone after a week of being told i had traded in a iphone 12 mini when i actually traded in an iphone 14. Im happy to have received the correct amount of money in the end but i had to keep emailing and i didn’t get one reply telling me any update on the situation the money just appeared one day.However they were trying to give me €70 for this iphone 12 mini when i was quoted 243 for my iphone 14. It feels as they were trying to pull a sly one to just get me to accept the €70 because after all my emails why would they just give me €243 and not one singular answer to how this happened.

Hello,

We are very sorry to hear about your selling experience; this is definitely not the experience we want for our customers.

We have thoroughly reviewed your situation. Unfortunately, a technical error occurred where another phone was incorrectly linked to your order, which is why you initially received an offer for an iPhone 12 Mini. As soon as this issue was identified, the full quoted amount of €243 was processed for your iPhone 14.

While our customer support team was waiting for direct confirmation of the payment for the iPhone 14 from our sales department, the funds had already successfully reached your account. The sales department handles the payouts directly, which is why the transfer went through faster than we were able to reply to your emails. We sincerely apologize for not providing a timely update, as we wanted to give you the most accurate information possible.

Thank you for your patience throughout this process.

Best regards,
the Swappie team

Efficient process! I got a quote for my phone at 16:30, had the phone physically assessed and taken in at 17:30 the same day and the money in my account in 2 days.

Swappie best!!!

I’d like to recommend using Swappie to buy iPhones. My first experience was on December 27, 2025, when I ordered an iPhone 13 mini in excellent condition—and honestly, it was in really good shape. Another great thing was that the phone arrived before New Year’s, since I really wanted to treat myself to a gift. My second experience using Swappie was just yesterday—I ordered an iPhone 15 Pro 256GB in excellent condition. The coolest thing—and what I’m incredibly grateful for—is that even though I chose the cheapest shipping option, which was supposed to take 3–4 days, it arrived literally the very next day after I placed the order. The phone is simply amazing. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth buying here, it definitely is. It’s the best service with great prices. I’ll definitely keep using their service in the future ❤️

Best customer service ever and fastest refunds!!!

I bought a completely refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max with a new battery around 1 year and 2 months ago. This week the battery started to expand and my phone stopped working. The amazing customer service first told me to contact another email and was super helpful and clear, along with replying within just a couple of hours. They told me to get my battery repaired and that they would reimburse me once I sent them my receipt of the service. I managed to get a brand new Apple battery installed from a third party seller and right after I submitted the receipt fir the service. Again, within a couple hours they replied that they would process the refund within 2-5 days. I got the refund within 24 hours of submitting the receipt. Amazing customer service and amazing fast processing. 100% would recommend, very reliable and trustworthy.
