For customers who couldn’t be able to visit our physical stores, Factory Mobile offers flexibility to get a quoted price through postage. This process is explained by our staff as follows:
“Usually it is recommended for customers to visit our physical stores for an exact and proper estimation of the trade-in value after Factory Mobile’s technician does the necessary inspection. However, if let’s say, customers are unable to visit our stores then we’ll have the new phones upon request to purchase, be posted to your doorsteps. But in return, the customers must send their old phones via postage and inform Factory Mobile’s representative or management on the condition and model of the phone so that Factory Mobile can give a rough estimation of how much is the trade-in phone worth”
In this scenario, customers are responsible for sending their old phones via postage (the customers are responsible to fully cover the cost of postage incurred).

Factory Mobile Customers’ Review
If you’re still having doubts about trading-in, don’t just hear from us, listen to what our visitors have to say.
A customer that goes by the nickname Hanis (20 years old, female, student), came in to trade her damaged smartphone since she wanted to be in trend with all her friends that had gotten new smartphones. This is what she had to say:
“I traded in my old Huawei P40 at a reasonable and recommended price for a new one. I absolutely loved the service from the staff. They were so accommodating, especially in explaining the process and reason for the quote. I’m not much of a tech expert myself but I absolutely appreciate their hospitality!”
Another visitor, Aniq (27 years old, male) walked in and asked our staff about his dream phone, the Xiaomi 13T Pro. He sadly mentioned that he was unable to buy it at the time due to his budget and had been looking for places with affordable price offers and options.
Fortunately, our staff here at Factory Mobile explained that he can still purchase it if he wishes to trade-in his old phone with the new Xiaomi 13T Pro he hoped for. This is what Aniq had to say about the trade-in:
“The trade-in was a quick process, I’ll say that. I was able to get an immediate quote for my old Honor 80, and the trade-in process was completed in the same visit when I purchased my new Xiaomi 13T Pro. I was amazed how they carefully inspected my phone. This Xiaomi was something I wanted to purchase for a while but it was far out of my budget. Thanks Factory Mobile, all I needed was to trade-in my old one and add on to the balance for this new one which was almost half the original price!”
