How the Mail-In Process Works
- Contact us first — Call or text 407-914-2391 or fill out our mail-in repair form. Describe your laptop model and the issue. We’ll quote you and assign a ticket number.
- Back up your laptop — Use Time Machine (Mac) or Windows Backup before shipping. See the section below for details.
- Package it securely — Two layers of bubble wrap, a rigid box, and your ticket number note inside.
- Ship with tracking — UPS or FedEx with tracking and insurance. Text us your tracking number.
- We diagnose, confirm cost, and repair — We inspect on arrival, confirm the final cost with you, and complete the repair within 1–3 business days.
- We ship it back — free — Return shipping is on us. Your repaired laptop ships the same day the repair is completed.
What to Back Up Before Shipping Your Laptop
Windows Laptop
Use File History (Settings → Update & Security → Backup) to back up documents, photos, and desktop files to an external drive. For a full system image, use Backup and Restore (Windows 7 tool, still in Windows 10/11). Cloud storage — OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox — works well for key files.
MacBook
Connect an external drive and use Time Machine (System Settings → General → Time Machine) for a full backup. You can also sync important folders to iCloud Drive. Either way, don’t ship without a current backup.
Note your laptop model and serial number before shipping. Include a note inside the box with your name, phone number, ticket number, and a clear description of the issue.
How to Package a Laptop Safely for Shipping
- Remove all accessories. No charger (unless the charger port is the issue), no mouse, no USB drives. Just the laptop.
- Wrap in two layers of bubble wrap. Extra padding on the screen corners and hinges, which are most vulnerable to impact.
- Use a box 2+ inches larger on all sides. Never ship in a sleeve or padded envelope. Rigid cardboard only.
- Fill void space completely. Packing peanuts or more bubble wrap — the laptop should not move at all when you shake the box.
- Include your ticket number note. Name, phone, ticket number, issue description.
- Seal all seams with packing tape. Ship UPS or FedEx with tracking and at least $200 in declared value insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What laptop repairs can be done by mail?
Screen replacements, keyboard repairs, battery replacements, charging port fixes, SSD upgrades, and RAM upgrades all work well by mail. Water damage diagnostics can also be assessed by mail, though outcome depends on damage extent.
How should I package a laptop for mail-in repair?
Remove all accessories, wrap the laptop in two layers of bubble wrap, and place it in a sturdy box at least 2 inches larger on all sides. Fill void space with packing material so the laptop can’t move. Ship UPS or FedEx with tracking and insurance.
How long does mail-in laptop repair take in Florida?
Most common repairs — screen, keyboard, battery — are completed within 1–3 business days of receiving your laptop. We cover return shipping and send it back the same day the repair is done.
Should I back up my laptop before sending it in?
Always back up before any repair. Use an external drive or cloud backup. Even for a screen repair, a backup protects you in the rare event of an unexpected issue during the process.
