Shipping and Receiving to Tech Twurl
Tech Twurl is authorized and operates via the United States Postal Service (USPS) as our main shipping service. Tech Twurl reserves the right to change its shipping carrier at its own discretion. If requested Tech Twurl offers a prepaid shipping label, however, if you chose to ship via any other carrier the postal fee will be at your own expense. You also have the option to pack your items using your own shipping box or to use a box provided by Tech Twurl. All shipping costs are paid by us when using our prepaid shipping label. Insurance is not included and must be purchased at your own expense.
If you decide to want to have your product returned to you, Tech Twurl must be completely reimbursed for the standard parcel post rate value for the product in agreement to these terms. The user agrees to take responsibility and waives losses of the amount stated by Tech Twurl and must accept our final judgment.
Tech Twurl is given the right to decide what carrier to use for return shipments and its insured process. If the item is ever lost by the carrier, the user must seek out the insurance claims to that carrier in that result, leaving Tech Twurl not accountable for those loses. If there is any extra insurance purchased by the customer, Tech Twurl ensures the customer to be fully liable on our behalf.
If there are any extra costs for the insurance or returns applied, Tech Twurl will state the additional costs and will request the extra amount sent via check or PayPal before the product is returned.
Original Losses Claimed to be Made by Tech Twurl
If any item that is sent out from Tech Twurl is lost or missing, Tech Twurl will be held fully accountable to reimburse its customers for the product value of the item bought. Tech Twurl will guarantee to pay at the very least the cost of the item offered and its shipping fees.
Loss of Items
The customer takes full responsibility for any losses or damages to the product during the shipment to Tech Twurl. A tracking number will be included with the prepaid shipping label to prevent such damages or loses to the product while it’s being processed through our carrier.
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. This email will either confirm that payment has been approved in the amount of the original quote, or will address any discrepancies with your item(s). Once your item(s) are fully processed and all items accounted for, an email will confirm that payment has been issued.
Product Inspection
As soon as we receive your item(s), Tech Twurl will fully inspect it and check for the validity of your descriptions based on the product. Tech Twurl reserves the right to accept or reject any item. Tech Twurl will use the best of its judgment to determine the product value, and if the product is consistent with your description via inspection, includes all accessories mentioned, and arrives to us within thirty days of your order, Tech Twurl will agree to pay. Tech Twurl reserves the right to change any prices based on discrepancies that may occur during inspection. Items are to be described as either:
• Perfect: An item in perfect condition functions flawlessly, shows no signs of use, and has no dust, scratches, or blemishes present. Item may be new in box (NIB).
• Excellent: An item is in good condition, functions perfectly, and has no damages to the screen or main aspects of the item.
• Fair: An item in fair condition functions perfectly, shows use of the product, may have worn paint or faded text, is scratched or has blemishes.

In the event that an offer has no value or is not functional, Tech Twurl will give no monetary value for the item (zero dollars), but will accept the item regardless if the customer consents. Tech Twurl will either donate the item to a charitable organization, a nonprofit organization, or recycle it responsibly. Based on your request we can allow you to choose which charity to donate an item to.
Payment and Product Evaluation
All prices are based on the questions you have answered about your product and data from Tech Twurl. Quotes are valid for 15 days, but are subject to change (view Pricing). Final price totals occur after the inspection and validity of your product.
If a discrepancy comes up during the inspection process, Tech Twurl will communicate its revised offer. In the case that Tech Twurl offers a new valuation after inspection, you have seven days to accept or reject the new quote. In the event that you do not give a response to the offer, Tech Twurl will automatically accept the item after the seven day period expires.
The payment is sent once all of your items pass our final inspection. Please allow up to seven days of receiving your item before a payment is issued. If you have requested to be paid via check, please be patient as delivery may take longer. If being paid via PayPal your payment will be sent within a maximum of two days after final inspection.
