Send us your trade-in device in either the shipping box your new device arrived in or another sturdy box or envelope with protective padding. Pack the trade-in device securely and place it in the centre of the box. To help protect your trade-in device during shipment, wrap it with plenty of padding material such as recycled or reused packaging paper, bubble wrap, or packaging foam.

Seal all open edges of the package with packing tape. Be sure to cover or remove previously used shipping labels from the box. Attach the shipping label to the outside of the box, taping all four sides of the label with clear packing tape.

If you lost or discarded the shipping label, you can re-print it by visiting the trade-in status page here . You will need your trade-in offer number and your postal code to access the label.

No worries, you can have your label printed by FedEx. Save a copy of your pre-paid shipping label on your phone, tablet or laptop and take it to the FedEx Ship Center.

If using a different shipper than FedEx, please note that you must include the bottom half of the pre-paid shipping label we sent you for each trade-in device in the package, in order to help us track your order accurately.

If you decide, after you make your purchase, that you no longer want to trade in your used device, you may keep it.

This charge will be processed after the trade-in offer expiry date passes. It is not possible to cancel a trade-in offer prior to this expiry date.
