Our devices are individually inspected and graded according to their cosmetic condition.

• Premium: Minimal to no visible signs of use
• Excellent: Light signs of previous use, with no cracks or major damage
• Good: Minor scratches, marks or small cosmetic imperfections
• Acceptable: More noticeable cosmetic wear, while remaining fully functional and crack-free

The condition grade relates primarily to cosmetic appearance. Any significant product-specific information will be disclosed on the product listing.

If you experience a potential fault, contact us at support@techup.nz before returning the product. Our support team may ask you to complete some basic troubleshooting or provide photos or videos of the issue.

Once the return is approved, we will provide a prepaid tracked return shipping label. If our assessment confirms a covered fault, TechUp will cover shipping both ways and provide an appropriate repair, replacement or refund.

The warranty does not cover issues caused by physical damage, liquid damage, misuse, accidental damage or unauthorised repairs. If no covered fault is found, the customer may be responsible for return shipping and any assessment costs disclosed before proceeding.

We aim to assess and resolve most approved warranty claims within 5-10 business days of receiving the returned item.
