Free prepaid labels both ways
How to ship your device to us
Six steps from “it's broken” to “it's fixed.” You never pay for shipping on an approved repair.
- 1. Submit a repair requestFill out the repair form with your device, the issue, and photos of the damage. It lands in our system instantly with a reference number like #D1042.
- 2. Approve your quoteWithin one business day we email you a diagnosis and a fixed quote. Reply “approve” and we generate your prepaid shipping label — you pay nothing for inbound shipping.
- 3. Print the label + packing slipYour label arrives as a PDF attachment. Print it, then print the packing slip below and drop it in the box so your device is matched to the right ticket.
- 4. Pack it properlyWrap the device in bubble wrap or a towel, fill empty space so nothing rattles, and use a sturdy box. Remove SIM cards, SD cards, and cases. Keep chargers unless we asked for them.
- 5. Drop it offTape the label flat over any old barcodes and hand it to any carrier location or scheduled pickup. Keep the drop-off receipt until the repair is done.
- 6. Track and receiveWe email you on arrival, when the repair starts, and when it ships back. Return shipping is free on every approved repair, and the fix carries a 90-day warranty.
Photos to send with your request
Six shots let us quote accurately the first time — blurry or partial photos are the #1 cause of a revised price after diagnostics.
- Full front of the device, powered on if it turns on.
- Close-up of the crack, dent, or damaged port — fill the frame.
- The back and all four edges so we can log existing wear.
- The screen showing any error message or boot loop.
- Serial / IMEI label (Settings > About, or the sticker underneath).
- Anything you're shipping with it: charger, cable, dongle, case.
Shoot in bright, even light on a plain surface. JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 6MB each, max 6 photos.
Before you seal the box
Eight things that prevent 90% of repair delays.
- Back up your data — repairs can require a factory reset.
- Turn off Find My / activation locks so we can test the device.
- Remove SIM cards, memory cards, and personal accessories.
- Include the packing slip with your reference number.
- Do not ship loose batteries separately from the device.
- Photograph the packed box before you seal it, just in case.
- Use a box at least 2 inches larger than the device on every side.
- Tape all seams — H-tape the top and bottom of the box.
