To return or exchange a device please follow these steps:
A. Factory Reset the Device
It is mandatory to to have your information removed prior to returning or exchange it (for repairs it is not necessary). As most smartphones have factory reset protection (FRP) nowadays (aka as "activation lock") which helps to not only protect your data but also prevent the unauthorized transfer of device ownership (i.e. theft), it is imperative that you have this removed prior to a return otherwise the returned device cannot be re-used. We will not refund or exchange any device which does not have the FRP removed. Here's how to do it.
iPhone Users
iPhone users should remove their iCloud for their devices to remove the FRP. Instructions on doing so are listed on Apple's website and the shortcut to this is here.
Android Users
If you have a Samsung Phone please remove the Samsung account as well. Information on removing this is located here.
B. The Return Process
-
Send in all Purchased Items
Once the device has been factory reset per the instructions above, you will need to return all purchased items to us. This may include any cables, chargers, or other accessories. Don't forget to remove your SIM card from the SIM card tray!
Packing
Please make sure it is packaged securely with proper wrapping as we don't accept damaged items. You can use the original packing materials we sent it to you in if it is in good shape. Make sure you remove any prior labels.
If original packaging is unavailable, securely pack your item in a cardboard box with adequate cushioning to prevent damage to the item in transit.
