Sell Your Galaxy A40
2019 · A405FN, SM-A405FM, SM-A405FN, SM-A405S
We pay up to £22, paid the same day.
The quote for your Galaxy A40 depends on the condition you choose and whether the phone powers on and holds charge, not on a fresh negotiation when it arrives. Cracked glass, a worn battery and other faults are all part of the condition options, so the quote already accounts for them. After inspection confirms the device, the figure is held for 14 days.

Price held 14 days
Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.
We repair, so faulty still pays
Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.
Not the Galaxy A40 storage or condition you were looking for?
We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.
No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.
Three steps
How selling your Galaxy A40 works
No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.
Get your price
Pick your Galaxy A40 storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.
Get it to us, three ways
Walk into the shop, book a free collection from your door within 5 miles, or post it free from anywhere in mainland UK.
Paid the same day
Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, by bank transfer, or store credit towards an upgrade or downgrade.
Your price
What your Galaxy A40 is worth depends on
Storage
Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which Galaxy A40 you have and it prices that exact variant.
We take the A40 in both its 64GB and 128GB forms, so the storage option you select during the sale should match the capacity shown in the phone's settings. The figure quoted on this page is tied to that storage choice.
Screen condition
A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.
Body and connector
Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.
You can send the A40 by booking a free collection, by posting it or by dropping it off at our Haverhill shop counter. Each route earns the same quote, so choose whichever is convenient rather than worrying that one option will change the figure you receive.
Once the A40 arrives and we inspect it, the confirmed offer is held for 14 days. That window starts from the inspection confirmation, so you can take your time without the agreed figure changing.
Battery health
We check battery condition ourselves on the bench rather than asking you to self-report a figure online, since there is no single on-device reading we can rely on for every brand. A genuinely worn cell comes off at what a real replacement costs us, worked out once we have the Galaxy A40 in front of us.
A Galaxy A40 does not need to be flawless to be sold to us. Cracked glass, scuffs and a worn battery are condition choices rather than reasons to refuse the phone, and the quote follows the option you pick.
The condition questions cover whether the A40 powers on and how its battery behaves. If the phone will not start, you can still sell it to us by selecting the lower condition and telling us what is wrong, because the quote is based on the real working state of the device.
Whether it powers on
A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.
iCloud or Google account lock
We can only buy your Galaxy A40 once it is signed out of your Google account, which is what clears Factory Reset Protection.
Before you parcel up the A40, sign out of your Google account and remove any PIN, password or biometric screen lock. That clears factory reset protection and lets us inspect and prepare the phone without having to contact you for access.
Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your Galaxy A40, our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.
Five minutes
Before you sell: five minutes that protect you
Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.
-
1.Back up what you want to keep
Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.
-
2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account
Turn off Find My before you hand over the Galaxy A40. A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.
-
3.Take out the SIM and any memory card
These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.
-
4.Note down the IMEI
Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises
Ownership, ID and your data
Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.
The device has to be yours to sell
We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.
"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."
We record name, address and ID on every purchase
We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.
It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.
GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2Your data is wiped at our shop
Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.
Locked in
Your price is held for 14 days
Once we send you an offer for your Galaxy A40, it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.

“Excellent customer service: the staff member in the shop was knowledgeable about what the problem with the iPad might be, how long it would take to solve it and how much it would cost. Then the people actually working on it also gave prompt updates when asked. Best of all, the repair seems to have worked so far.”

Selling your Galaxy A40
What happens if I leave my Google account signed in on the A40 when I send it in?
We would need you to remove it before we can complete the process, because an active Google account keeps factory reset protection switched on. Sign out of the account and delete any screen lock before the phone leaves you.
I don't live near Haverhill. Can I still sell my Galaxy A40 using your collection service?
Yes. Book the free collection and the courier will take the A40 from you, and the same quote applies whether you choose collection, post or our Haverhill counter.
Can I be paid for the Galaxy A40 before you check my ID and proof of address?
No. Photo ID and proof of address are required on every purchase, with no exceptions. Once those checks are confirmed, payment goes out the same day regardless of the route the A40 came in by.
I'm weighing up whether to have my Galaxy A40 fixed. Do you buy faulted phones as well as repairing them?
Yes, we buy faulted A40s as well as repairing Galaxy devices, so the decision is a genuine one whether the handset is damaged or in full working order. Ask us to repair it if you want to keep it, or sell it as it is by choosing the condition that honestly describes each fault.
If I am not ready to complete the sale the day my Galaxy A40 is inspected, will your quote still be available a week later?
Yes, it will still be available. Once we have inspected the A40 and confirmed the offer, the figure is held for 14 days, so you will have time to make that decision.
My friend had her online quote reduced after a phone arrived elsewhere. Could that happen to my Galaxy A40 sale?
No, that is not how mendmyi works. The quote you are shown is the figure we pay after inspecting the A40, not an opening position, and it is not reduced on arrival as long as the phone matches the condition you selected.
