Mail-in hardware setup

Confirm the job before the device moves.

Mail-in setup begins with compatibility, backup, custody, access, shipping, insurance, return, and dispute terms—not a shipping label.

Before you ship

A written intake protects the customer and the device.

This page is not authorization to send hardware. Do not ship until an InstallAI job is approved and its handling terms are complete.

01

Compatibility

Device, OS, requested software, intended workflow, and limits.

02

Condition

Documented pre-shipment state and backup confirmation.

03

Custody

Job ID, packaging, restricted storage, and receiving record.

04

Access

No passwords in chat, email, labels, or the box; temporary access where feasible.

05

Testing

Approved checklist and customer interaction where unattended setup is unsuitable.

06

Return

Verified destination, shipping, insurance, handoff, and temporary-account removal.

Reference price

$1,500 is a starting point, not a shipment instruction.

The final quote must confirm currency, hardware, outbound and return shipping, insurance, taxes, turnaround conditions, damage/dispute handling, included software, and support.

Never include: passwords, recovery codes, API keys, MFA devices, customer records, or unrelated confidential files with the shipment.
