We will not be held responsible for any data lost during a repair.  Also, it is important that your device does not have a password restriction on it.  This limits our ability to evaluate your device prior to and post installation.  We only access your device to test its basic functions and do not go through your private information.

Packaging Instructions

Please refer to the packaging instructions when shipping your Smartphone, Tablet or iPod to our repair facility. This will ensure that your device is delivered safely and in a timely manner.

Box Size
For the iPhone and iPod models, the box size can be about the same. We recommend a box with the following dimensions: 8″L X 5″W X 3″H. These dimensions ensure that the box has enough padding on all side. USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box is a perfect shipping box for these devices.

For the iPads, the box size needs to be significantly larger. We recommend a box with the following dimensions: 10″L X 8″W X 3″H. These dimensions should secure the Tablet and keep it safe during transit. A medium size USPS Priority Flat Rate Box is also a good choice for this type of shipment.

Please do NOT use envelopes when shipping your device to our repair facility. These envelopes do not provide enough cushion to secure your device or keep it from incurring further damage.

Packaging Material

Please do NOT use newspaper or packaging “peanuts” to secure your gadgets in the box. These packaging materials will not be enough to secure your device properly. Please use packaging foam or ideally bubble wrap, which is also available at the Post Office.

Tracking the Package

Please make sure that your shipment comes with a tracking number. This ensures that we know where the package is at all times and gives us a better idea on when to expect it in for a repair. If you have any issues tracking your package, please contact us and we will be glad to help.
