For all other products, we Repurpose old, broken and unwanted electronics for free in our “R3” section (Customer is responsible for shipping costs when sending items to be Repurposed).

- Your quote is valid for 30 days.
10. What should I do if my device is reported lost, active or stolen?
- Due to security reasons, you must get in touch with your wireless service provider and clear any problems that are causing your device to be “Active”.
- Reasons for your device being “Active”; the account connected to your device has an outstanding balance, the device is reported lost or stolen, or the device holds an “Active” account status with your carrier.
- Please make sure that you take care of this within 5 days of us notifying you. If we do not hear from you, we will automatically accept and go through with the readjusted quote that we had given you for your device.
11. What do I do if my payment was sent to the wrong PayPal email address?
- If you have access to the email address where it was sent, (considering that it is your own PayPal account that you are accessing or you have been permitted access by the PayPal account owner) the quickest fix for this is to simply add your own PayPal address to the account, you should be able to access the funds then.
- If that option does not work, we will issue a refund from PayPal, which will delay your payment by up to 30 business days.
12. If Oofoog LLC. Inspects my device and adjusts my initial quote to a lower one, what do I do if I disagree?
- We care for our customers very much and strive to improve and make our services stronger and more efficient each and every day. The reason why a quote would be readjusted is because the condition of the device is not as described by the customer. There are not only offers that are readjusted to a lower price but there are also instances where a customers quote is readjusted to a higher one because their device was in better condition than described.
- One of the things you as the customer can do is request for your device to be reevaluated if you disapprove the condition that we set your device at. In order for your request to go through you will need to respond within the 5 days that we allocate to you the customer to answer in.
- Within these five days after we give our initial readjusted decision on your device, you must give us a response weather you agree to the price, disagree and wish for a reevaluation, or you wish to cancel the transaction and have your device returned to you.
- If you do not answer within the five days that we have allocated for you as the customer, we will automatically move ahead with our readjusted quote of your device and process it.
- If you wish to have your device returned to you we would kindly agree but the customer that is receiving the device will pay the cost of the return shipping.
