No. The Microsoft Store Trade-in Program for Business powered by Teladvance site is separate from Microsoft.com. Your username or credentials from one don’t carry over to the other. To process a trade-in on this site, you’ll need to create an account with Teladvance, even if you come to this site after signing in to your Microsoft account.
Once your used devices are received, inspected, and approved, Teladvance will issue a payment via check within 15 days.
Teladvance specializes in electronics trade-ins and recycling for retailers. Teladvance assesses trade-in industry standards daily to ensure you get a fair and competitive price on your used devices.
To qualify for the “Working” condition trade-in value, follow these guidelines before sending your used devices to Teladvance:
- Ensure your device can power on.
- Ensure the screen of your device is intact without any cracks.
- Ensure all physical keys, buttons, and touchscreen interfaces respond to user input.
- Disable and remove any anti-theft locking software on your device.
- Include all accessories stipulated by the trade-in process, such as power supplies.
After inspection and any data removal, Teladvance will try to find your used device a new home using official Microsoft-approved resale channels. If for some reason your used device can’t be resold in working condition, Teladvance will recycle it in an environmentally responsible way using Microsoft-approved partners.
While we highly recommend that you erase all personal data from your used device before you ship it to Teladvance, the processing facilities used are ISO- and R2-certified in data removal and comply with the highest standards in the industry. Any personal data found during inspection will be erased immediately and your device will be factory reset.

After you’ve completed the online trade-in process, you have up to 15 days to pack and ship your used device to Teladvance using the prepaid shipping label.
If you send in your device later than 15 days from the time you complete the online trade-in process, Teladvance will email you a new appraisal value. You can choose to accept the new value, or you can reject it. If Teladvance doesn’t hear from you within 7 days after issuing the new value, Teladvance will continue with the trade-in and either issue the new amount to your payment method or, if your device is determined to have no resale value, recycle your used device at no charge.

Once you’ve transferred your personal data and reset your used device, securely pack your device with the trade-in confirmation printout and any stipulated accessories. Affix the prepaid shipping label to the box and drop it off with your selected shipping carrier (FedEx or UPS) within 15 days of completing the online trade-in process.
Your trade-in confirmation printout can be found on the Order Summary page, above the shipping label. If you can’t find this page, a printout of the email confirmation from Teladvance will also work.

No. It’s strongly preferred that you use separate shipping labels for each box. Assuming your shipment requires more than one box, you’ll have the ability to indicate which devices are being shipped in which boxes during the online checkout process. This site will then use that information to generate as many separate labels as your shipment has boxes. It’s important that you affix the correct shipping label to the corresponding box, so that Teladvance can accurately reconcile the contents of your shipment upon receipt.
Ship the accessories specified during the appraisal of your device. Generally, this means including the power supply unit (charger) for your device.
