Before you send us your device
- Back up any data where possible, as your device will be reset during the repair and we don't want you to lose anything
- Remove any passcodes or security locks as we won't be able to start any repairs on your device if they're still active
- If you’re sending us an iPhone then turn off Find my iPhone as we won't be able to start your repair if it's still on
- Take your SIM card out and keep it safe. If you’re using an eSIM, you will need to uninstall the SIM following your phone manufacturer’s instructions.. You can reinstall the eSIM when you receive your phone back, for more info check out our eSIM Help.
- Keep hold of your battery, charger & other accessories – unless we’ve asked you to - but if the battery isn't removable, please don't try!
- Please ensure that you package your device securely before DPD come to collect it
How long will my repair take?
The courier will collect your device on the next working day or you can choose to send your phone to us in a pre-paid jiffy bag which we’ll send out to you in 3 to 5 working days. Please make sure you get proof of postage when you send us your device.
