How Our Core Trade‑In Works
Some parts include a “core charge.” This is a refundable deposit we credit back to you when you send us your old unit (the “core”) in good condition.
1. Buy & install your replacement
- Purchase the replacement part on our website as normal.
- The price you see already includes the core charge.
- When it arrives, install it and make sure everything is working before sending your old unit back.
2. Reuse our box and prepaid return label
- Save the shipping box, packing material, and packing slip.
- Put your old unit in the same box with the packing slip.
- Use the prepaid return label included in your shipment and drop it off (or schedule pickup).
3. Core condition requirements
To receive core credit, your old unit must have:
- No fire damage
- No water damage
- No severe physical damage (cracked/broken board, missing major components)
- No prior repair attempts (even “just a fuse”)
If the core fails inspection for any of these reasons, we cannot issue a core credit. We can return the core to you at your cost if requested.
4. Timing of your refund
- Ship your core back within 30 days of receiving your replacement.
- Once we receive it, please allow 3–5 business days for inspection.
- Approved core credits are refunded to your original payment method.
