that's the best part... but pay £20 for the privilege.

though, they're not charging £10 for the Special Delivery option too on RM... so for a tenner more, it might be worth it.

hopefully they've ironed out the issues a few people reported last year with no one being available on the other end when they took their phone to the kiosk etc

That was the only annoying part last year I had to put my phone in the machine 3 or 4 times before it worked and each attempt is about 15 - 20 minutes
 
I can’t remember there being a fee to use the smart drop kiosk last year, is this a new thing?
 
15 Pro, Max AND Ultra?!

Damn. If this is true and the 15 Pro Max isn’t even the “best” iPhone anymore, I don’t think I could justify paying hundreds more for an Ultra…

They could bump models up. So we end up with the 14P and 14PM becoming the 15PM and a 15 Ultra. Then the 14 Plus becomes the 15 Pro.

So maybe we’d have 15, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and 15 Ultra. 🤷‍♂️
 
Can’t you keep the existing deal of £22 and not upgrade. Ask for a loyalty discount as well
I have a 20% and another 10% discount, they have told me I would lose those. I think I'm going to call them again. I'm not confident that the person who I was speaking to knew what he was talking about.
 
Ive got a feeling no voucher code is coming from MM. They still sticking with 10BONUS for selected iPhone models which expires on 30th Sep.

I’ll be sending mine in on 13th Sep regardless.

10BONUS ends on 4th September so maybe a new code after that.

Sorry jumping ahead here but I just cant remember, if iPhone isn't backed up using iCloud can a new phone to phone transfer be done or it has to be via iCloud? Thanks!
 
Back here for another year. Just caught up on the last couple of dozen pages. Had my MM offer locked in for a few weeks now so all set for that again.
For those asking about the kiosk, I used it to sell my 12 and 13 and in the end it worked well both times, but… I have 2 kiosks a similar distance to me and each year the one I went to first was out of order (different each year). Also don’t leave dropping off too close to your 21 days deadline (not really an issue with the resaving approach) as they seem to add at least 3 days to your drop off for it to get to them, even though they’d be paying you there and then. E.g. one time I tried to drop off on day 18 and they claimed I was too late, so ended up having to use a newer quote and lost £20 or so.
And what’s this lower offer with the kiosk 💩 they seem to have introduced!? It’s always been the same value as posting before. That said I’ll still use the kiosk this year, wouldn’t want to jeopardy of posting only for them to offer me a reduced value.

They probably justify the £20 in some kind of pick up fee, but £20 is a bit steep considering they would be picking up multiple phones at a time.
