Product Valuation and Payment

All original quotes are based on your description of the device and data gathered through YouRenew. Quotes are valid for thirty days after the offer date, but are subject to change in the event that items are materially different than described on the Site or for any other reason deemed necessary and allowed by these Terms of Service.

Shipping Your Product to YouRenew

YouRenew utilizes the United Parcel Service (UPS) as our primary shipping service. From time to time, YouRenew may utilize other shipping carriers at its sole discretion. Upon accepting YouRenew’s quote for an item and submitting the required information, YouRenew may issue you a prepaid shipping label if your order qualifies. If you use any shipping service or carrier besides that which is offered by YouRenew you must do so at your own expense. YouRenew does not pay shipping for devices with no value, nor does it pay shipping for devices shipped from outside the United States.

With our shipping label you may either pack your items in your own shipping carton or use a box that is available for purchase at a UPS outlet. All shipping costs are prepaid when you use our prepaid label. If you wish to fully insure your package, insurance must be purchased by you at your sole expense.

Tracking Your Items

Once we receive your order we will notify you via email confirming the arrival of your item(s). Upon inspection of the order, we will again notify you.
