I have used the services of Orchard labs on at least 4 occasions. The process was very easy and I received a very fair & surprising payments even for phones with broken screens. Highly recommended for anyone looking to sell their used phones. Their customer service is 1st rate & they send you the box and shipping label once they agree to purchase. In some cases I received more than the quoted price once they received. You will not be disappointed.read more

Bought an iPhone 8, which arrived in like new condition and I am very impressed with the buying experience overall. I like to buy things used, but this can be risky with tech because it's a lot of money for something that doesn't come with any warranties or quality guarantees. Orchard was the perfect solution for me because I felt completely protected as a buyer. I was also really happy with their customer service. They sent enough follow-up emails post-purchase that I felt like I knew what was going on and comfortable reaching out if I had any questions, but not so many emails that it got annoying. I definitely plan on using Orchard again!read more

Wow! talk about excellent Customer Service. You don't see that anymore these days. (actually caring about a Customer) Elizabeth went above and beyond. I needed a phone quickly & she delivered! Other company's should copy their "service" model because it works. I highly recommend purchasing items from Orchard. Thank you!read more

Orchard was a great way to sell my used iPhone. I downloaded the app and received my quote with ease. Then, after shipping my phone to Orchard, they reassessed my phone and increased the appraised value because it was in better condition than they imagined... score! It was sold faster than they had estimated so I received my payment quickly. I'd use Orchard again!read more

10/10 would recommend selling your phone through Orchard! I've always been a little nervous to sell my phone on my own, so being able to do it through a trusted company has been such a game changer. Orchard provides impeccable customer service as well, which helped me feel extra comfortable working with them. Had an amazing experience!read more

An iPhone 8 (Like New) was just purchased (12/19). It is the 4th iPhone I have purchased for my myself/family members through Orchard over the last few 4 years. All Phones purchased by me were LIKE NEW condition and appeared unblemished as advertised on their site. I have never had a problem with either the phones or the purchasing process through Orchard. Timely delivery & all phones were as advertised and worked perfectly. I recommend this company as an option if you are in the market for an Used iPhone.read more

Great experience! Reasonably priced phones and delivery was very quick-only 2 days. I bought an IPhone which arrived just as it was described, in great shape, looks like new. I am now also selling my old iPhone through them, which has also been an easy process. They send the box and shipping label, and you just drop it off at the post office. Definitely a great alternative to outrageous pricing at the big telecoms.read more

I bought two phones with Orchard and they are excellent. Customer service is exceptional. Phones are way better than I expected. And shipping is so fast for Toronto. Will consider selling to Orchard in the future and would recommend to everyone!read more

I've dealt with Orchard in both buying and selling used phones for the past two years. It's reaffirmed my initial impression in that Orchard as a company is as reputable and trusted as it gets in the handling and selling of high quality used phones. I wouldn't go anywhere else as their standards are high. All of the phones I've received are authentic, look great and function well. Receiving a stolen or blacklisted phone is the last thing on my mind because frankly they don't exist on the website.read more

I just completed my second selling transaction with Orchard and I’m delighted to report that it was as seamless and professionally executed as the first. This company does was it says promptly, courteously and with a smile on its face. Add in the fact that I realized SIGNIFICANTLY more money on the sale of my iPhone 10 than I was offered by other companies in this business (including Apple) and you have the perfect trade-in package. I will not hesitate to use this Canadian company again.read more

Very happy with Orchard. The phone we order was described as "like new" and the phone we received was exactly that. Not one mark or scratch on it. Customer service is excellent. One thing to note if you require a charger for your phone - make sure you tick off that option in your purchase.read more

Very impressed with this company’s pricing, quality of product and service. They have diligently helped me to resolve an issue with a phone I bought from them in September. I would highly recommend this company, their product and most especially their service and commitment to customer satisfaction.read more

Living in a smaller town I knew that it would be time consuming to try and sell a higher end phone and receive a good price locally. Orchard solved this problem for me, offering a price which was probably higher than I could have received locally and without the hassle and risk of dealing with private buyers. In fact their valuation of the phone was higher than the initial online quote, after they inspected the phone and determined the condition was better than what I had stated. I was paid promptly after the sale period. Overall, my experience with Orchard was excellent and I would not hesitate recommending them to others.read more

I ordered an iPhone from them online and it had an issue when it arrived. I called and they were so lovely, helpful and accommodating. I was so pleased with their customer service that I legitimately can't wait to recommend them when someone I know needs a new(ish) phone!read more

Amazing experience as customer service is key. You never know how things will go at times until you deal with customer service if things don't go as planned. First phone didn't work well, they replaced it, second had to be sent back also and I got a refund. They did everything they could to make it right. Three times the charm, ordered another and it is working properly for me. It might have taken longer then expected but in the end I got a great phone for a great price. I was also surprised how the "very good" phone I received looked almost new. I am very impressed with the rating and quality of their phone inventory. I would definitely buy from again and recommend especially knowing that if you are not satisfied for any reason, they are happily willing to work with you and are courteous treating you with respect. Amazing prices, customer service and staff! Thanks Orchard!read more

This was the smoothest and easiest way I could have imagined selling my phone. Once I received the box to mail it in, I actually forgot to send it for about a month. Orchard was very courteous and only adjusted the sale price ever so slightly. Got my $$ without issue!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!read more

Thank you so much, Orchard!! I am so happy with their services and my iPhone that I bought from them. They replied to my answers very quickly when I emailed them every time.

Fantastic phones, in the condition they state they are in. Great staff that are super friendly. I’ve used Orchard a few times, and have been fully satisfied all along. Don’t get sucked into a higher monthly rate at your cell provider with the lure of a shiny phone - buy your own here and take it where you want! Their new space is conveniently located - pretty central downtown :)read more

I would highly recommend going through Orchard if you are considering buying a used phone. Their in-store and online purchasing processes are both easy and efficient. I have found the product descriptions on the Orchard website to be accurate, and the prices to be very reasonable. Although the condition of each phone varies, the overall quality exceeds expectations.read more

Fantastic service. I was looking to order a refurbished iPhone and found most companies only ship to the US. I was pleased to find a Canadian company that served my needs. Their prices are fair and the product was exactly as advertised. I order an iPhone 7 and the phone looked like new. Shipping came in 2 days. Will definitely recommend to friends who are in the market for a new iPhone.read more

I thought buying a new phone would be super frustrating, but discovering Orchard made it the easiest thing in the world. Instead of having to choose between the three (super expensive and not ideal in any sense) newest iPhones that Apple carries, I could choose an older (and more affordable!) model that fit my preferences perfectly. Such a simple and painless experience! I'm really satisfied with my new phone, and impressed by how quick and easy Orchard made the process of acquiring it.read more

For the most part, we had a very good experience with Orchard. The customer service was quick to reply, while friendly and professional. The iPhone 6 we ordered works great so far, and is "as new", just as described. We received free and fast shipping. The only issue we had was that we ordered a SIM card with our phone, and even though it said it was in the box, it was no where to be found. It just so happened it was the day before our weekend vacation, and we were hoping to use the phone, so instead of asking for another one, we just went to a phone store and picked one up. When I emailed Orchard for a refund, they were incredibly quick to respond, apologize, notify the shipping department and refund our card. We are still very happy with our purchase, and understand that we're all human and make mistakes, and they reacted to it very well :)read more

I bought an IPhone from Orchard last week and the process was extremely smooth and easy. The phone was shipped to me within 3 days, and the Orchard team kept me updated on its shipping. The phone came in perfect condition, and even had the screen protected already applied. It is now working in great condition and I have had a very good experience with Orchard! I would use this again!read more

Selling my iPhone 6s plus was a breeze! They paid me the day they promised to and got the payment right away. Was a great experience and makes selling my iPhone really easy. I am happy that it went to a new home and since I always take care of my devices it was sold as 'like new'. Thanks Orchard! My only suggestion you consider adding Google Pixel phones (so i can always sell my current one later!)read more

I was nervous about getting a used phone, but I took a chance and tried Orchard. I got a phone described as "Good condition", and to my surprise it was in great condition! I've had the phone for a month and a little and so far its working great, no complaints at all. The Orchard team also has great customer service and even followed up with me to see how I was liking the phone I bought. Rest assured that with Orchard you can get a good, cheap phone. Thanks Orchard will recommend 1000%read more

I bought a used phone from Dylan and had some questions about the battery health. The follow up and customer service from Dylan and two of his team members was exemplary.

Selling my phone on Orchard took all of 5 minutes of effort. I've bought an iPhone and sold 2 iPhones on Orchard and couldn't be happier. I actually received more money than initially quoted because both the phones I sold were in better condition than what they expected. I will continue to use their services.read more

This is my third Orchard phone and I'm so happy with the complete experience! The quality is as promised on the web site and the customer service and follow up are amazing and thorough. I always get the extended warranty and it's worth it. My old phone had battery problems and it was diagnosed and replaced at zero additional cost and with zero hassle even after months of use. I tell everyone I know in the market for a phone to try Orchard first.read more

I bought a phone a bit over a year ago from Orchard. I was very happy with the experience and product, and would highly recommend it. Initially, when I got my phone the only issue I had with it - albeit a big one -was the battery life, it was unable to retain a charge beyond a few hours. Orchard support was very responsive and suggested some things I could try to troubleshoot the issue. When that didn't work, they offered me a few options; I decided to swap my phone for another of the same model and condition. The new phone has been fine ever since. One thing I was unsure about was the condition of the phone based on the ratings they provide, but it's been fine. My first phone (rated as "good" condition, their lowest rating) had a light scratch on the screen but you would only notice if looking for it specifically, I didn't find it got in the way of my experience at all. My new phone might have a scratch on the back but I can't even remember anymore as it's covered up by a case. I was initially nervous about buying a used phone, but it's been a great experience and I would do it again. I appreciated being able to take a more environmentally friendly option of buying used, save some money while getting a perfectly good phone, and have a good experience with a Canadian company at the same time.read more

I bought an iPhone 6s in very good condition and just got the phone in the mail. It is in amazing condition physically and feels very snappy when browsing through apps. The battery is at 82% which is good but I would have expected a bit better. Customer service is fantastic and really friendly. Dylan, if you're reading this, you should know you're awesome! Overall great experience. Thank you so much Orchard for the great new phone!read more
