SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2024) (NASDAQ: WISH), one of the world's largest mobile ecommerce platforms, today announced the launch of a much-anticipated trade-in program for old tech. From next month, customers in select European geographies can begin trading-in old devices, including smartphones, laptops, tablets and smartwatches, in return for cash, with no strings attached1.
'Wish Trade-In' is being launched in partnership with Remarketed- one of Europe's largest refurbished goods providers. Remarketed will provide customers with an instant estimated trade-in valuation based on the device's age and condition. Customers can then send their device for free2 and, once it's been received and verified, the payment will be processed. A select number of the refurbished devices will then be sold on Wish.
'Wish Trade-In' will be available to consumers in The Netherlands first, before being rolled out to other markets.
"We are delighted to be able to offer a trade-in service to our customers. As well as putting cash back into the hands of our customers, it significantly reduces e-waste by extending a product's life," said Alan Small, Director of Business Development at Wish.
"The launch of our trade-in service complements our recently expanded range of refurbished electronics which allows customers to benefit from new technologies at a fraction of the price," continued Mr. Small.
Customers can access Wish's Trade-In service by visiting https://wish.remarketed.com/.
