Ah ha no. Because they sent out a mailing pack. The only thing I did was recycle some bubble wrap for extra protection during transit. I asked already about cable and charger they said no just the device. I was going to put this all in the final summary post but you're too impatient.
Once the order is placed on compareandrecycle they give you contact details of the buyer of the phone. I suggest writing this email address down or like me firing off an email acting dumb for further guidance.
I did waste £6, £3 each way bus fare to and from town when going to CeX thanks mate!  I did however exercise walk short distances  I guess I'm where I was before only with no phone. I could have chucked it out the window for an endurance test

Maybe your 'mysterious ways' it should be taken with a large supply of salt.
Still, £6 would go quite well towards your fake Nikes. Might nearly pay for them. Lol.

Re: Compare and recycle
I was fine until the resident dog decided to bark orders at me
I was hopeful of recycling paying out but obviously not in the poor condition it was in.
My Nikes are real, I pay the extra monies for originals and still it's cheaper than overheads over here! Having gained experience working at JD Sports aged 16. I'm ok with footwear

At least you've got more chance of returning them if they don't fit or have fault than returning them to JD Sports, lol.

Re: Compare and recycle
I've never had that problem thankfully. Generally some form of quality check is performed. Normally pictures and/or videos prior to dispatch. Some assurance is that replacements would sent out in the event of displeasure.

Re: Compare and recycle
I got paid out 6£ instantly showing in my bank account this evening.
So they paid for everything. Mailing. Examination. Payout. All I did was add bubble wrap to the parcel.
Highly recommended if you want a no fuss offload of tech. The company that brought my device was Handtec. There were others but they were offering lower quotes. Also note if they offer free mailing included.
