We provide a Freepost service which is a standard and uninsured service. We send out postage bags and jiffy bags. This service is optional at checkout to the alternative where you can send the device to us directly. We do not offer any insurance for devices posted to us and therefore recommend all customers use a paid service to cover the loss or damage of their device.
Our return postage is insured up to £100, we do however recommend all customers to use a special delivery service where the device they are sending is a high value device as it can be insured for up to £500 or more depending on the value of your device.
We will always recommend sending your device with additional protection/insurance through postage if it is a high value item. However, whichever service you choose is at your sole discretion. We cannot be held responsible for drawing any inference into your decision making.
Uberlink takes no responsibility or any liability for any devices lost in the postal process. We are only responsible for the device once we receive it on site, we are not responsible for any devices being returned that are lost in the postal process once they leave site. We recommend that you take advice from your local Postal Office with regards to proof of posting and insurance. We can send back any devices at the customers cost of postage if they require a special deliver service.
POSTAL DAMAGE AND LOSSES
Uberlink does not take any responsibility for the loss or damage to mobile phones before they reach our business address.
We strongly recommend that all customers use the content provided and take additional protective measures to ensure the physical protection of their goods in transit to minimise the risk of damage.
Our service does not guarantee that the devices will be free of damage in transit. In any event arising from damage to any device in transit, we will return these devices to the customer so they can make a claim for the loss directly from Royal Mail. By returning the device back to the customer Uberlink does not guarantee that the claim will be successful and cannot take any liability or assist in any claims which are refused by third parties. We advise all customers to contact Royal Mail in order to become familiar with the claims process in the unlikely event the need arises.
COMMUNICATION
To keep you informed about your order we shall send emails and text messages (if option selected) notifying you about progress.
