Walmart wants to pay you for your old phones, tablets, and laptops — regardless of what condition they’re in
Looking for a way to dispose of your used electronic devices that are better for the planet and can earn you some cash? Head over to Walmart’s CExchange program.
That’s right, retail giant Walmart is now leading the way in secondhand electronics — saving you money and keeping devices out of landfills. Here’s how it works.
How does Walmart’s CExchange program work?
Users can trade in their popular electronic devices, including old cell phones, tablets, video games and consoles, laptops, GPS units, MP3 players, and even cameras. The site lists devices by category and manufacturer and even lists potential trade-in value based on the condition of the device.To trade in your item through the Walmart CExchange program, you need to first fill out the online appraisal forms (see this example). Then, you pack up your items and ship them to Walmart. Shipping is free, you just need to download the printing label and pack your items.
Once received, the retailer appraises the items. It can take two to four weeks for items to be processed and for you to be paid. Payment is via a Walmart eGift Card that allows you to use the funds on Walmart.com and, if you’re a Sam’s Club member, on Samsclub.com.
The program accepts devices in virtually any condition — it designates items either as working and intact or broken or damaged. The condition of the item does impact its value, and the retailer will pay you accordingly. But even broken or damaged items can retain some value.
