Your Refreshingly Simple Buyback Solution
CONNECT
It’s not as simple as waiting until your devices break or become obsolete. We start by learning about your goals, challenges, and current tech needs, then use our experience purchasing, refurbishing, and reselling millions of Apple devices to shape a Refresh Plan tailored to your timelines.
COLLECT
Hands-offs shouldn’t be stressful. Whether you prefer our seamless on-site pickup or the convenience of prepaid DIY shipping boxes, we make the collection process simple and hassle-free—while handling every piece of logistics along the way.
PROCESS
What happens behind the scenes matters most. At our secure, state-of-the-art processing facility, your devices are cleaned, tested, graded, erased, and logged by serial number. You’ll get a detailed audit report and ongoing support from your dedicated Client Success team to ensure accuracy, transparency, and timely payments.
REINVEST
This isn’t the end of your devices’ story—it’s the start of a new chapter. Instead of going to landfills, your devices find new homes or are responsibly recycled, while the funds go right back into your organization to support the next generation of Apple technology. And if you need help deciding what to invest in next, we’re here to guide you.
