I’m considering doing the same. I always set up new but the ‘joy’ of it soon becomes a hassle when you realise everything that needs sorting. I think the transfer process has got soon good now that I hope no bugs or battery issues from doing so
I treat it as a bit of an app detox and opportunity to arrange my home screens a little better...

... but similar.. half way through I usually wish I didn't bother

Checking out via MM app doesn’t mention anything about RM charge etc.

Edit: Mentioned in order confirmation email.

There grading starts at good so guess less likely to get downgraded now MM start at excellent
The only downside is 14 days imo. I was hoping to avoid using a burner lol.

Confirmed one sell order that will go out next Wednesday.

Will confirm another sell order day before Keynote.

MM was offering £725 and UR is offering £757 so win win.
 
Not that I'm upgrading, I swear I'm not, but UR does seem like the way to go this year... £772 for a 128GB PM? No brainer. Currently £72 more than MM

Just added my saved order to the basket.

£650.00
-£20.00 Kiosk fee which is fair enough
but it says I'll get paid £620.00??

£681.00 with UR but you have 14 days to ship. I'll do another order with them on Monday before the Keynote and hope I can get it to them before the 14 days elapses in case I change my mind.

I'm not too fussed on how much I get for the phone, I just want to make sure I can clear the amount outstanding with Barclays which is £595.00.

When I get the 15 Pro, I might stick my 14 pro on Facebook marketplace for 24 hours and see if anyone wants it for £650.00
 
Even with Excellent Condition Saved Orders the Kiosk is screwed.

Ah yeah, this must be what's happening to me.

Just checked and the current price for a excellent 128gb 14 Pro is £640.00.

£640.00 - £20.00 Kiosk fee is the £620.00 that it's saying they'll pay me so maybe saving the order doesnt actually save the amount anymore and you'll get paid their current rate?


EDIT: and the current price of the 256gb is £700.00, making your £680.00

EDIT AGAIN: Just locked in a £640.00 order with MM via Royal Mail as you get 21 days to send which should be after 15 pro release

Just seen I can save 4.5% buying an Apple gift card through perk box. Not sure it’s worth the hassle though over Apple Pay. If the phone is £1400 only saving £63 seems a bit pointless.

I am sure I read somewhere people had issues paying quickly with gift cards last year as well.
If saving £63 is pointless, then the people questioning paying £20 for the MM SmartDROP haven't a leg to stand on ;)

We all like to save money where we can, even if it's only a few % on a high end purchase

You get 21 days to have it with MM. so need to send by day 14 and allow 7 days for it to get through the hoops it goes through to get to them. Sending by RM to MM is not straight forward irrelevant of service used.

It'll be fine if I send via Special Delivery. Never had an issue
