Returns, Warranty & Repairs    

 

Returns – 0 to 15 days

We know you'll love being with Lucky Mobile. We back it up with a 15-day guarantee. If you're not 100% happy with your phone or accessory, you can exchange it for a new one or return it for a full refund. Just make sure you have your original sales receipt and make up your mind within 15 calendar days from the activation of your phone or purchase of your accessory.

What you need to know before returning your phone:

  • Your phone must be returned in “near new” condition with the original packaging and accessories. We recommend resetting your phone to factory conditions to ensure your personal data has been erased.
  • Make sure you haven't exceeded 60 minutes of voice usage or 50 MB of data usage, or you won't be able to return your phone.
  • If you are a person with a disability, your phone may be returned in “near new” condition with the original packaging and accessories within 30 calendar days of the start date and double the corresponding permitted usage set out above.
  • You'll still be responsible for usage, long distance charges and applicable activation charges. If you chose to cancel your account, you also won't get a refund for any unused Prepaid funds remaining in your account.
  • SIM Cards are not returnable once the packaging has been opened or the SIM Card has been activated.
  • If you exchange your phone within 15 days, and your new phone needs a new SIM Card, you won't be charged for the new card.
  • If you activated an eSIM on this device, you can transfer the service to a different device if you want to continue using your Lucky Mobile service.
  • If you purchased a phone from one of our stores, you must return it at the store where you purchased it.
  • Device refunds are made to you the same way you paid. If you bought the phone with your credit card, then the refund will be put onto the same credit card you used to buy it.

What you need to know before returning your accessory:

  • Accessories can be returned within 15 days of original purchase for refund or exchange, excluding headsets and earpieces for which we cannot accept returns due to health and safety reasons. If your accessory was ordered in-store and delivered to you at a later date, it can be returned within 15 days of receiving the accessory.
  • If you purchased an accessory from one of our stores, you must return it at the store where you purchased it.
  • Each accessory must be returned in “like new” condition and in the original packaging with all the components included at purchase.
  • Defective accessories purchased for more than 15 days but less than 30 days (from original purchase date) may be exchanged over-the-counter.
  • For accessory warranty claims exceeding 30 days from date of purchase, please contact the manufacturer.

Warranty – 1 to 365 days

If you bought a brand new phone, it's subject to the manufacturer's warranty, which is typically valid for 12 months from the buy date. If your phone is not working due to a manufacturer issue that occurs within 15 days of your buy, you can exchange it for a brand new phone or receive a refund. If it's over 15 days, you can get your phone repaired. Please visit your phone manufacturer’s website for details.

We'll replace a defective SIM Card for free if it's within 1 year of when you bought it. A defective SIM Card won't be replaced if it's been more than 1 year.

If your phone or SIM Card isn’t working properly within 15 days from purchase

Your phone and SIM Card must be brought back to the same store where you bought it. Once we've looked everything over and made sure the issue with your phone is covered by the warranty, we will give you a new phone. It'll be the same model as the one you originally bought. Alternatively, you can receive a refund for the phone cost.

If your phone or SIM Card isn’t working properly more than 15 days from purchase

Your phone is subject to the manufacturer’s warranty, which is valid typically for 12 months from the buy date of your phone with your original receipt. Some phones may have a different warranty period. Please review the manufacturer’s warranty provided with your phone or visit manufacturer’s website to understand what protection it offers and the duration of the warranty.

How to ship lithium batteries

All Lucky Mobile devices use lithium batteries. Depending on the device, you may or may not be able to remove a lithium battery.

In Canada, shipping lithium batteries is subject to Transport Canada's Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act. This means that if you need to return a mobile device and/or lithium battery, you'll need to take certain precautions (especially if the battery is damaged).

When you ship lithium batteries, including batteries contained in or packed with devices and equipment, you must meet shipping requirements and declare the package's contents to postal carriers, couriers or transport companies.

Before you ship a lithium battery, you'll need to check if it has been damaged by visually inspecting it using the criteria below:

  • Broken (e.g., damaged or heavily deformed outer casing; melted wires)
  • Crack or rupture of the plastic
  • Leaking or venting (emits abnormal gas smell)
  • Any discoloration
  • Swelling (bulge or bump)
  • Unusual overheating (more than lukewarm even in off mode)
  • Recalled battery
  • Battery is inaccessible (damage to the electronic unit)

If your battery is experiencing one of these issues, please follow the damaged battery shipping instructions below.

Damaged battery

If you have a damaged battery without a device:

  • Please recycle the damaged battery locally at a waste management site. Do not return the damaged battery to Lucky Mobile.

If you have a damaged battery with a device:

  • If you're returning damaged battery with a device contact us and we'll send you a damaged battery shipping kit.
  • When you receive your shipping kit, just follow the included instructions.
  • Attach the included prepaid Purolator return waybill to the shipping box.
  • Fill out the included Shipping Document (Bill of Lading) form. Your shipment won't be accepted by the courier if the declaration form isn’t done.
