Trading in Eris $132 for the Inc

[ky90025]

I just got on the verizon webpage and submitted the form to trade in my Eris for $132.

I am posting this in the Inc forum since I think lot of you did the same.

Verizon sent me a thin envelope with one layer of bubble wrap. They asked me to seal and drop it in the mail box.

My question is did any of you feel unconfortable about possible damage or lost with this kind of shipping? Any other suggestions on how to mail it to them? If it wasn't for the few things written on the envelope I would be more comfortable sending it in my own packaging.

Couldn't you just cut out the area they wrote on the envelope and tape it with clear packaging tape onto your own packaging... in which I would use bubble wrap then a small shipping box. That's what I would do

I stuck mine in the envelope and sent it in no problems. Got an email from them accepting my phone for trade in after about 2 weeks and my rebate card in about 4 weeks. It was just a small piece of paper with a rebate number and pin on the back.

I sent back my first Droid Incredible for warranty replacement. I wasn't worried about the shipping method, but thought about taking pictures of it before boxing, just in case.

I know T-Mobile does it the same way. It's actually far safer than it appears. Cardboard is actually pretty impact resistant.

i hear ya

AT&T always sent replacements in a carboard box with a air bag thing instead of the packing peanuts. i agree with jbdan and cut out the label and put it on a box its pre paid so who cares let verizon pay the extra shipping it will help the economy...LOL

Wait for the Inc2, Inc is kinda a crappy phone IMHO if the Eris and Inc had a baby im hopeing the inc2 will be that phone. I wont need 4g as not in that area, so i hope the 3g phones are nice.
