How does your trade-in program work?

The process is quite simple. Once you've accepted our offer to trade-in your gear, you can expect the following:1) Prepare your gear and ship to Out&Back or drop it off at a participating partner location. For offers being mailed to us, we'll email you a prepaid shipping label that will need to be affixed to the outside of your final package and dropped off at any USPS location. 2) O&B receives gear and completes final inspection: upon arriving at our warehouse, our team will inspect, clean and if needed, repair gear. 3) Get paid: as soon as we've confirmed the item;s details match those that you originally submitted, we will submit payment to you via whichever payout option you selected - Venmo, PayPal or Gift Card.

Can I bargain with Out&Back on my offer?

At this time, our offer is final. We like to keep things simple and avoid the back-and-forth which can take time away from being outdoors.

Does my trade-in offer expire?

Yes. Upon receiving your offer, you will have seven (7) days to accept. After seven days, the offer will automatically expire and you will need to re-submit the item through our sell back process for a new offer.

Do I have to pay for to ship gear that I trade-in?

Nope! Upon accepting one of our offers, you will receive an email with a prepaid shipping label. Note: ownership of shipping may be your responsibility if you choose to receive an item back after it's already been shipped to Out&Back. For oversized items, shipping ownership may vary between Out&Back and the consumer.
