Packing guidelines
Please follow these guidelines when shipping your traded product:
• Please ensure that you include any accessories that were originally shipped with your product. These items include: a holster, travel charger, USB/serial cable and removable battery (if applicable). Failure to include these items will impact the value of your trade. If you do not have these items, please contact blackberrycustomerservice@marketvelocity.com for further assistance.
• Package the item(s) in a sturdy cardboard box designed specifically for shipping using cushioning materials such as bubble wrap to adequately protect your products. Failure to package these items correctly will impact the value of your trade. If you require boxes, they can be purchased at Kinkos, FedEx, The UPS Store or online at onepak.com.
• Tape all edges on the sides, top, and bottom to make sure there are no rough edges that could be snagged by automated mail processing equipment. We do not recommend using masking or cellophane tape. Shipping tape that is 2-3 inches wide should be used.
• Attach the prepaid shipping label to the outside of the package. Use a piece of clear shipping tape over the top of the label.
• Call FedEx ground at 1-888-777-7330 or drop off the package at a regional shipping location. Be sure to keep the tracking number for proof of shipment.
• Products must be shipped within 30 days of the transaction in order for quoted value to remain valid.
