Unboxing my iPhone the wrong way

I’m not clumsy; things just get in my way! I have been miserable even as a kid. I have walked into walls, knocked over some pile of stuff, and I even spilled orange juice over my crush. My life just sucks and I hate being this way. Though I could never ever forget when I broke my iPhone just when I was unboxing it.

I was overwhelmed with joy one night when I found out that my dad gave me an iPhone for my birthday. My mom told me that secretly and she said that I have to wait until morning to get it. But I couldn’t wait anymore. So I sneaked into my dad’s office to get the box and see the precious thing at last.

I didn’t turn on the lights so that my dad won’t notice my plan. I had my flashlight on instead. I clutched the flashlight tightly by my armpit and open the box. And just when I managed to get the iPhone outside, the flashlight slipped through my armpit. Worried that the sound of it smashing the floor might wake my dad up, I hurried over it and save it from falling.

Guess what? I saved the flashlight but because of my clumsiness, the iPhone slipped from the box and fell crashing to the ground. It was bits and pieces when I saw it. Oops. My new, unused iPhone is now broken.

Alright, I don’t want to mention about what happened to me when my dad found out. So I just have to find a way through this huge problem of mine. And that was through an iPhone trade in.

An iPhone trade in is like selling your iPhone to a company. You have the choice to sell it for cash or to trade it for another gadget. In my case, I will have my iPhone trade in for money. I have known of this stuff before and it’s in fact pretty good.

Actually, I got my laptop from the money I got from selling my previous Apple products online. So, I was well aware that I can also have an iPhone trade in via internet transaction. Since I know how things work in online dealings, I was pretty confident that I could actually have an iPhone trade in successfully. I know I can do it the right way.

The iPhone trade in is fairly easy, you just have to find a trusted site and you should know how to follow the rules. You should be patient in reading about their process and their terms and conditions. With that, all is yours to keep.

In my case, I went to cashforiphones.com since it is the iPhone counterpart of the site where I sold my laptop to. It was basically the same company I dealt with for my laptop. So I started my iPhone trade in right away by getting a quote.

I gave out all the essential information to complete my iPhone trade in. It was basically about my personal details like my contacts and shipping address. Also, I chose PayPal as my method of payment.

If you are wondering why I chose PayPal for my iPhone trade in, it’s because it’s the easiest way to get your money. Sure, getting a paycheck is also decent, but if you favor quicker means, PayPal will definitely suit your taste.

When I received the box, I fixed the package and I had it delivered to the UPS store immediately on the same day. I want my iPhone trade in to go in a flash, so as not to annoy my dad further.

I always check on my email to keep track of the updates about my iPhone trade in. and so just about a week; they have emailed me about my money so I hurried over and use it to buy a new iPhone. The iPhone trade in helped me a lot to replace the broken iPhone that my dad wanted to give me. Until now, I believe that this iPhone trade in service might help me again in the future.

As I have heard of the release of the new generation iPhone 5, I am planning to have another iPhone trade in as soon as it hits the stores. I will no longer be the clumsy me and unbox this gadget for my own sake. I’ll try as much as I can to change and be more careful. I wouldn’t want to be called a klutz up until my older days.
