Thanks yet again, sound_fm. I was just looking at cashback from Royal Mail via quidco:

£3.25for sending an approved phone (per basket, not per phone)


Has anyone send them several phones, by using several clickthroughs and received multiple cashback, or is it better to use different companies? I like the fact that they pay via paypal, which is a lot less hassle than receiving a cheque for £1!!

Cex has improved of late. They also now send a prepaid padded envelope. Usually they have the best prices for mobile phones and do buy other items. Would recommend you check their website.

That looks like a nice site and they offer good prices for mobiles. My tomtom is not working... so I was wondering if there was a place I could send it to and get some cashback on it, since it has no value.

Some mobile sites buy non-workng mobiles; I don't know about Tom-Toms. Unlikely to get much for either, but might be better than zero.

I decided to use the simplydrop service by Royal Mail for 4 old phones I had and have already been paid by paypal. Also, each transaction tracked via quidco, so now it remains to be seen if all cashback will be paid or not. Will update you on that. But I am pleased so far with how fast it all was.

Actually, it makes me think why someone would trust Royal Mail with £112 of their money without paying the extra for special delivery!
