What is Flipkart BuyBack Guarantee?

Flipkart Buyback Guarantee is a sort of scheme where you buy a mobile device plus an extra policy price to avail the Buyback Guarantee. The policy enables the customer to get a fixed price buyback guarantee for the smartphone device that he/she purchased. No matter what the market value of the same handset (lower or higher value), the already settled price will stay the same on that device.

Clauses and Conditions:

  • To avail of Flipkart’s Buyback Guarantee, you must purchase the product from Flipkart.
  • Before completing the purchase on the Flipkart website, the customer must also avail of the BuyBack Guarantee policy within the Flipkart platform. Otherwise, there is no way you can avail of the Flipkart Buyback Guarantee anymore.
  • You can only use your Buyback Guarantee policy on a smartphone that exceeds your own handsets discounted rate. That means if your newly chosen smartphone costs lower than the discounted rate, the policy will not take effect or not valid.
  • The smartphone device must not have a damaged screen and is currently in a working condition. Otherwise, the Buyback Guarantee policy will not be allowed to take effect nor it is going to be availed.
  • Aside from the main handset device, all the accessories and the box itself should be in good condition. If it is already damaged or missing one accessory, the Buyback guarantee policy will not be allowed to be used or the full value of the Flipkart Buyback guarantee will not take effect.
  • The smartphone device that you are using the registered BuyBack policy should not be older than 6-8 months or depends on the duration of the BuyBack Guarantee that you availed.
  • You can always use the BuyBack Guarantee for every smartphone you purchase. So while you claim your previous BuyBack Guarantee policy for the new smartphone, you can purchase a new BuyBack Guarantee for that new smartphone as well.

Step by step instructions How to Avail and Claim

  1. Upon buying your smartphone, whether regular-priced, NO Cost EMI, or discounted, the Flipkart BuyBack Guarantee should also be purchased. That means you are going to pay some extra to avail of this scheme.
  2. As soon as your smartphone device is delivered to you, the duration of your Buyback Guarantee will start to count. So if you bought a Flipkart BuyBack guarantee that is only good for six months then you must claim the BuyBack Guarantee within the six months period.

  4. Choose the Flipkart BuyBack Guarantee Policy next to the product picture.

  6. Once done checking and verifying your device, place your order, and complete the purchase.
  7. In the next day or so, Flipkart will send a representative to pick up your handset device for verification. So the whole process will be easy and convenient for you as Flipkart will do all the heavy lifting for the whole transaction.
