Step 2: Prepare Your Tool for Shipping

Proper packaging is crucial to ensure your tool arrives safely and without damage. Follow these steps:

  1. Clean the Tool: Remove any excess dust or debris from your tool to make the inspection process smoother.
  2. Secure Loose Parts: If your tool has any detachable parts, secure them to prevent movement during transit.
  3. Wrap the Tool: Use bubble wrap or foam padding to wrap your tool, focusing on protecting sharp edges or fragile components.
  4. Choose a Sturdy Box: Select a sturdy cardboard box that provides enough space for the tool and padding materials. The box should be large enough to allow at least 2 inches of cushioning around the tool.
  5. Add Padding: Place the wrapped tool in the box and fill any empty spaces with packing peanuts, crumpled paper, or more foam padding to prevent the tool from shifting during shipping.
  6. Seal the Box: Use strong packing tape to seal all openings of the box securely.
Step 3: Measure and Weigh the Package

Accurately measuring and weighing your package will ensure the correct shipping label is generated:

  1. Measure the Box: Use a measuring tape to record the length, width, and height of the box in inches.
  2. Weigh the Package: Use a reliable scale to weigh the package in pounds. If you don’t have a scale, most shipping centers can weigh it for you.
  3. Label the Package: Write your return address and our shipping address on the box or use a printed label. Make sure the information is legible and securely attached.
Step 4: Ship Your Tool

Once your tool is packaged and ready, you can ship it using your preferred carrier. If you need help generating a shipping label or finding the nearest drop-off location, let us know, and we’ll assist you.

After shipping your tool, you can track its status by contacting us via phone or email. We’ll keep you updated throughout the repair process and notify you when your tool is on its way back to you.
