Frequently
Asked Questions regarding repairs:
Why fix my broken
phone?
This
is a good question. Usually, people
think about getting a new phone or wonder why they didn’t get the
insurance. More on that below, but our
prices for repair are more often cheaper than getting your phone replaced with
your insurance with your carrier.
How is it more
economical to have my phone repaired versus replaced?
Well,
the insurance you may have opted for when you signed your contract/bought your
phone has a catch. It has a large
deductible. AT&T has a $50-125 deductible, Sprint is at $100, and Verizon, who uses the same insurance company,
will probably be raising theirs to the same amount. Currently it’s at $50. That’s on top of the $5 or so you pay each
month!
How quickly are
repairs shipped?
Repairs
are sent out the same day they are completed. Return shipping is chosen
by you during the checkout process. All of our rates are in real-time.
Are tracking numbers
provided?
We
update our status page with all the tracking numbers once UPS or USPS leaves
our facility. When a tracking number is provided, you can follow the link
to UPS to follow your repaired phone.
How quickly will I
receive my items once shipped?
That
will depend on the method of return shipping you have chosen. Depending on your area, UPS Ground typically
takes 1-3 business days, and USPS Priority takes 2-5 days. Please remember, UPS will not ship to PO
Boxes. USPS must be selected for PO Box
return shipping.
What is this about
phone unlocking?
All
of your questions and concerns should be covered in our Phone Unlocking FAQ
What if my phone is
Beyond Economical Repair?
This
generally only occurs with extensive water damaged phones. We will
contact you immediately if this is an issue. In these instances, we may offer
you a replacement phone, or refund the repair cost portion of your payment.
Return shipping is not refunded unless you tell us to dispose of your
phone.
Will repairs void my
warranty?
Typically
the phones we receive have already had their warranty voided. Dropping the
phones, water damage, etc, will void your warranty. But that’s OK, we’re here for that very reason. If your phone doesn’t have any physical
damage, oftentimes we can repair it without needing to void your warranty. We will do whatever possible to keep your
warranty intact if needed.
Do you offer a
warranty?
All of our repairs come with our 90 day guarantee. We warranty all of our work for this time period, giving you peace of mind that your phone has been repaired correctly and is fully functional. If for any reason you need to send your phone back into us, please contact us at returns@esalvations.com before sending your phone.
What if I tried to fix my phone myself, but was unsuccessful?
We understand people will try to fix the phones themselves with parts they find on the Internet and Youtube videos. That's OK, because we are here to help. Just send us the phone in assembled form and we will do our best to get you squared away. However, please note that if there is extensive tamper damage to the phone, additional charges may apply for both parts and labor. We will contact you with an estimate before proceeding.
Payment is collected at the time of checkout when you order your repair. This includes all return shipping costs. These are calculated at the time of checkout and in real-time. You are responsible for getting the item to us.
