Pack your device safely

A padded envelope is not enough protection for electronics. Read our device-specific guide before posting.

Sending a controller for repair

Choose the exact controller service before booking. Original Joy-Con services offer left, right or pair options: send only the option booked. Your controller is repaired and returned; no replacement controller is supplied.

Find the right controller service, read our shipping and return-postage information, and follow the packing guide.

Previous Repairs & Additional Damage

Our standard repair prices assume no significant additional damage beyond the service booked. Devices previously opened, modified or subjected to unsuccessful repair attempts may require additional work if PCB tracks, solder pads, connectors or other components have been damaged.

Where significant unexpected damage makes a repair more complex than reasonably anticipated, we will explain the findings and obtain your agreement before proceeding with any additional charges. Previous opening alone does not incur an automatic surcharge. No compulsory pre-booking declaration is required.

Some devices may be beyond economical repair. We cannot guarantee the successful repair of damage caused by previous repair attempts. This notice does not introduce a diagnostic or return fee. Customers' statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

Sending a PS5 console

Send the console only, with no controllers, cables, discs, detachable stand or accessories. Remove an expansion SSD unless its inclusion has been agreed. Use a rigid double-wall box with cushioning on every side and protect the HDMI/USB ports. Include your order reference and customer details. Read the PS5 console packing guide before posting.

PS5 console service prices include Royal Mail Special Delivery return postage to eligible UK addresses, with compensation up to £750 subject to Royal Mail's terms. Customers pay separately to send the console to FrameRate Builds.
