Packing Tips

 

Packing your items for shipment

Please only ship the items that you are needing an estimate on. Keep all cases, cards and extra accessories not required for estimating your repair.

Please be certain that all camera equipment is well padded within a proper, corrugated cardboard shipping carton. The major carriers (UPS, FED X, DHL and USPS) state that a minimum of 1 1/2" of padding is required between the item and the closest edge of the box in order to be covered by insurance. For us please allow at least 2 inches of padding on all sides of the carton around the equipment. Wrap each individual item in bubble wrap or a plastic bag, then use styrofoam or crumpled newspaper to fill the extra space.

(Padded envelopes are insufficient to ship your camera in!! Remember digital cameras are nothing more then computers that take pictures...how would you package your laptop to ship it??)

MailBoxes etc. or the UPS Store should be able to assist you best if you do not have the proper materials.

Send the package insured for its value. We are not responsible for items lost or damaged in shipment. Be sure to enclose a copy of the Estimate Submission Form.
