Hi there. Phone for trade in posted 5/8/23. Post Office tracking shows delivered 8/8/23. Still no acknowledgement so I contacted currys and they are asking me for a reference number??? Where or how can I get this please?
This seems like an odd request
- Did Currys send you a prepaid addressed padded envelope after you accepted your trade-in offer?
- Did you return the trade-in item in the padded envelope within 21 calendar of accepting the trade-in?
If yes to 1) & 2), it appears incorrect for Currys to now ask for this information.Â
Do you have any emails about your iD Mobile order and trade-in?Â
Anyway, the trade-in scheme information is online at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/trade-in.
I was thinking this also but I had asked if it had been processed and they asked for a ref number to trace it. It just seems a bit long if they received it on the 8th?
Oh yes to.question 1 and 2. Also yes I sent the phone in the prepaid envelope that they sent me
The trade-in terms say provided the trade-in device was received, as described by you, and was received within 21 calendar days of accepting the trade-in offer, they’ll pay you via BACS for amount quoted, within 3 to 5 working days of receipt of the trade-in device.Â
Sometimes the trade-in process gets delayed because Currys can’t cope with the volume of trade-in items.Â
- Have you got a photo of the prepaid addressed envelope you received - does the address label have the numbers you need?Â
- Were you asked to insert any documents inside with the trade-in item?Â
If yes, did you keep a copy of these documents?
I stupidly didn't take a picture of the addressed envelope. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope that it's the large volume of trade ins that's keeping it 😔
No supporting documents were asked for, just put the device in the jiffy bag, put the cardboard sleeve around it and fold the envelope peeling and sticking on the return address.Â
I also returned it the day after I received it.
Not looking too promising though 😕Â
I guess you could perhaps call the trade-in helpline, on 0370 111 6565, during normal office hours.Â
An agent may be able to assist, and advise if there’s a backlog.Â
I might just do that. Thank you very much for your helpÂ
