What is Trade-In?
The Harvey Norman trade-in service is the quick and easy way of getting the new tech that you really want, with the tech that you have right now. Trade-in is available as an in-store service offered by our Lovetech team. Currently only mobile devices are accepted but keep an eye in store as tablet and wearable devices will also soon be available to trade.
How Does It Work?
Evaluation Process
Criteria
For each category of product eligible for trade, there are specific checks that must be completed to determine the trade value of a device. Our Lovetech team are equipped to complete the evaluation process in a matter of minutes.
Calculation
The evaluation works off a very simple credit model, so you know what to expect before you come to the store. The Max Credit is offered when all the relevant evaluation criteria are met. The Min Credit is offered when any number of the checks are not met. Enhanced Credit is the value that is offered based on the new device purchase.
Data Services
Don’t forget that our Lovetech team are on hand to help you make the switch from old to new. If you’re purchasing a new device and wish to pick up where you left off, our Lovetech team can offer a data transfer service so that you never miss a beat.
All devices must be fully wiped before trading but if your data is important to you, the Lovetech team can also fully erase your device after your data has been transferred.
