Shipping Methods
A shipping label and address can be printed from your Submission Acceptance e-mail.

Please note: Standard ground shipping costs are included when you accept an estimate and generate a prepaid shipping label.

When dropping off your item with UPS, we advise you to retain a drop-off receipt for your records. Please, do not drop off the item at any of the UPS drop box locations, as you will not be provided with a receipt when using this method.

Packaging Guidelines

Try to include any documentation and accessories that originally shipped with your item, these items may include: Manuals, USB, Video, or Serial connection cables. Failure to include normally included items or accessories will impact the value of your trade.

Please follow these shipping tips:

• Wrap the items using plenty of bubble-wrap, foam packaging or other packing supplies around fragile items. Include all components of the item for return.
• Package the item in a sturdy cardboard box designed specifically for shipping. Boxes are also available for purchase prior to the transaction. 
• 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.
• Attach the shipping label to the outside of the package. Use a piece of clear shipping tape over the top of the label. 
• Call UPS or drop off the package at a UPS shipping location. Be sure to keep the tracking number for proof of return. You may also ship at your own expense using the carrier of your choice as long as they can provide you with a Shipment Tracking Number and proof of delivery.
• Traded items must be shipped within 30 days of the trade-in request submission date, or you will need to re-apply for a new trade-in estimate. Your item must be received by the date shown on the shipping form; if it is not, the estimated value will not be valid.

Determining Digital Camera Condition For Trade In

The three condition levels include:

• Excellent -- the camera is in excellent working condition and needs no refurbishment. The body of the product is clean and in LIKE NEW condition - and all parts of the item operate as they did when the item was new.
• Good -- Fully functional - with no technical problems, may have a few "normal wear" scratches, smudges.
• Poor -- Functional and in working condition for the intended purpose with no major technical problems. The item may have cosmetic defects such as dents, scratches, stickers smudges. A battery door may be missing, or there may be a crack in the case.

Receiving Payment
All trade-in funds will be sent to you via check payable to the name and address provided by you at this site.

The estimated value is not final until the item has been verified.
