Unfortunately we can only offer prepaid shipping labels for our US customers. Our Canadian customers will be responsible for their own shipping. We will reimburse up to $20 for shipping costs.
How do I prepare my shipment?
We highly suggest putting your remotes in a bag or bags within the box and taping every corner of the box prior to shipping. Delivery services and automatic packaging distribution centers can easily damage boxes and/or puncture holes in them. We are not liable for missing remotes during the shipping process.
What kind of box should I use?
If sending via USPS, please use the correct flat rate box that is provided at your local post office. These are free boxes. If the wrong box is used, or you use your own box, your shipment will not be delivered on time and extra costs will be incurred.
If sending via UPS, you can use your own box. We recommend using plain brown corrugated boxes that are not branded. When filling out the form, be sure to include the dimensions and approximate weight. We will need that to produce the shipping label.
Again, we strongly recommend placing your remotes inside of bags within the box and taping every corner.
What do you do with the ones you aren't buying?
We pretty much buy every remote. Although we cannot purchase remotes that hold no value. These are typically aftermarket, old/obsolete, damaged beyond repair and/or locked products. In the event we have received any, we will gladly send them back to you at no extra charge. If you do not want them returned, we will recycle them.
How do I get paid?
We offer two options for payment: PayPal or Company Check.
How long does it take to get paid?

Checks: checks will get sent 3-5 business days after acceptance.
