Flipkart, today announced a unique ‘Exchange Now, Handover Later’ Program that gives customers great exchange value for their old phones and 10-days to handover their old phone after purchasing a new one on Flipkart. The program is valid across most smartphone brands and models across all price ranges. Customers can exchange smartphones purchased from anywhere to buy a new phone.
This program will be rolled out across the platform’s 15,000+ serviceable pin codes in the country. Apart from the convenience of doorstep pick up, the customers can also enjoy the ease of receiving the payment either in the form of a Flipkart gift voucher or opt for a direct transfer to their UPI ID/bank account. Depending on the payment option selected by the customer, the payment will be completed within 48 hours after the old phone is handed over. The Exchange Now, Handover Later Program will also help in reducing the carbon footprint as the old phones received through this program will be refurbished at Yaantra which can be further sold to customers by the retailers. Phones that cannot be refurbished will be disposed of responsibly through certified vendor partners.
Commenting on the program Adarsh Menon, Senior Vice President and Head New Businesses, Flipkart, said, “With the Exchange Now, Handover Later Program, we aim to give our customers a safe, trusted, and environmentally responsible platform to return their old phones.”
