You've sent me an email asking for missing information. What should I do?

If you have received a missing information email, that means your return request is currently missing some important details. Before we can move forward with your request, you'll just need to send this information over to us. We will have let you know what we need in your email. To send us your missing information, follow the instructions provided.

Here are a few common reasons why you might have received this email:

We couldn't read your proof of purchase

We might not have been able to read your proof of purchase because the image you sent was blurry, too dark, or for another reason. If this is the case, you just need to send your proof of purchase again ensuring the image is clear and easy to read.

The proof of purchase was missing information

The proof of purchase you sent might not have shown some key information. This can include such details as how much you paid, which store you bought from, or what you bought. In this case, you just need to send your proof of purchase again making sure it contains all the necessary information.

We received the wrong document

The document you uploaded might not have been an acceptable proof of purchase. Make sure the document you upload proves that you've bought an eligible phone, how much it cost and where you bought it from. This can be a receipt or invoice - or an online order confirmation and delivery note if you don't have either of those.

Check the IMEI number

The IMEI you entered on the claim form might have been incorrect. If so, you just need to send us the correct one before we can process your claim.
