Selecting the right box

Make sure that you choose a box that will get your notebook to us safely. A few recommendations when selecting the right box:

1. Always use a corrugated cardboard box
2. Make sure that the box is at least two inches (2") bigger on all four sides of the notebook (two inches is approximately the width of three fingers)
3. Make sure that the box is at least six inches (6") taller than the height of the notebook

Please note that although the manufacturer's packaging material may be the best box to use, we are unable to return that box to you when your notebook is returned. Sorry for any inconvenience.

4. Make sure that any accessories are also properly packaged to avoid contact with your notebook
