    Funnily enough fonebank didnt have any problem with giving me £25 for it!

    Yeh, i've used fonebank a few times too, very good prices compared to most phone recycling websites, and no problems at all with them :)

    never heard of CEX until now, but at least i now know to avoid them :)

    I can't vouch for CEX's postal service, but I've never had any trouble with their in store service, and I'm planning on going there again, to sell more electronics and hopefully get enough credit for a Wii. I got a ridiculously generous wodge of cash for an old iPhone there.

    I'm afraid I avoid the post at all costs these days when sending anything valuable, and all the 'send us your phone in a bag' companies seem like a recipe for disaster to me.

    Hope you get to the bottom of it OP.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    I could be wrong but I believe CEX stores are franchise businesses, which if correct would mean that the level of customer service will vary from store to store, though pricing should be the same. I too have sold stuff to them in store without any problems but I wouldn't touch their postal scheme.
