Highly recommend Tech Defenders. Very fair, accommodating, and patient. Sold quite a few old, out of AUE, Chromebooks to them this past Spring/Summer (700-ish), absolutely hassle free. Brent is great to work with. TD will be getting our next round of old Chromebooks.
Tech Defenders was a wonderful company to work with. My small school was discarding some older iPads. The process was easy and they were very fair with their assessments. Alyssa Anderson was great. She kept me informed regarding the status of my equipment all through the process. I highly recommend Tech Defenders if you have older technology equipment to discard.
We have worked with Tech Defenders for several years to provide insurance and repairs for our 1:1 Chromebook initiative. Their customer service is incredibly fast and helpful, their work is high quality, and their tracking system is easy to use and provides valuable reporting features. They have been a valued partner and I would highly recommend them.
This company communicates very well, the shipping company they use is very good, and the shipping materials are top notch! I highly recommend working with this company!
Tech Defenders is the real deal. The process was extremely easy. They send you packaging and bubble wrap to pack up your devices. The time from contact to delivery of check was very long but most of that was my fault as some of the devices had not been unlicked. I was sent the list of locked devices. After unlocking, the process went quickly. I highly recommend them if you have old devices that you are trying to offload.
