At Price.com we provide the most comprehensive buying options from new to used to rental to offline merchants. Today we are excited to announce our partnership with UpTrade to provide certified used phones. 

1 billion smartphones have been sold in the U.S. in the last six years, 700 million of them weren’t reused or recycled. Price.com and UpTradeit.com have built a platform that enables people to find tech at affordable prices, while reducing the growing problem of e-waste.

UpTradeit.com offers a 50+ point inspection, 1 year warranty, and a 30 day money back guarantee on all used and refurbished devices. UpTrade takes detailed photos of each device so users can easily see the condition of the phone they are buying. Additionally, UpTrade Protection is an option they provide to cover  accidental damage giving buyers total confidence in their purchase.

“Price.com is building the world’s best savings platform and encouraging consumers to make more sustainable purchases. It’s a win-win: consumers can shop responsibly and at the same time save money. We have built a technology that, for the first time, allows us to seamlessly match a new product to a used product. We are excited to expand our partnership with UpTrade through certified used phones.” said RJ JAIN, Price.com Founder and CEO.

“To make it safe and easy, we thoroughly test and background-check every phone to make sure it’s of good quality. We also go the extra step providing actual photos and detailed notes for each phone. While many companies will face capacity challenges of handling millions of used phones, we have found a solution by leveraging big data and automation. We are very excited about the partnership with Price.com to support us in scaling our mission” – said Marco Mai, UpTrade Head of Operations.
