    Packing Guide

    How to Pack Your Device

    Proper packing prevents transit damage. Follow these guidelines for safe shipping.

    1

    Anti-static protection

    Place the drive in an anti-static bag. If you don't have one, wrap in paper (not plastic bubble wrap directly).

    2

    Padding

    Surround with at least 5cm of padding on all sides. Crumpled paper or foam works well.

    3

    Rigid container

    Use a sturdy box that won't crush. If reusing a box, remove old labels to avoid confusion.

    4

    Include your details

    Put a note inside with your name, email, phone, and a brief description of the issue.

    Important

    Never include power cables or accessories unless specifically requested. Laptops should be shipped complete; for external drives, just the drive unit is needed. If your drive is clicking or making unusual noises, do not power it on again before shipping.

    After Recovery

    What Happens Next

    Your data is secure with us, and your device will be returned safely.

    14-Day Retention

    We keep your recovered data securely for 14 days after delivery. This gives you time to verify everything is present and working.

    Secure Deletion

    After the retention period (or on your request), all data is securely wiped from our systems using certified methods.

    Device Return

    Your original device is returned tracked and insured. If it's a complete loss, we'll discuss disposal options with you.
