Instructions for shipping eStout student laptops to the Technology Help Desk

Any loss or damages that occur during shipping are the responsibility of the sender and are billable per the eStout Student Laptop Computer Agreement

Instructions for Shipment

  1. Check your laptop for dongles, SD cards, and USB devices prior to shipment
    • UW-Stout Technology Help Desk is not responsible for the loss of these items
  2. Package both the laptop and it's accessories
  3. Tell your shipper that you are shipping a device containing a lithium ion battery
    • Laptops contain lithium ion batteries, so boxes must be appropriately labeled
    • Ship only via ground transport
  4. Ship to the following address:


Technology Helpdesk (UW-Stout)

Recommendations

  • It is recommended to insure the laptop for an approximate replacement cost of $1,000
  • Use only a shipping company that provides a tracking number
  • Choose your packaging carefully; some shipping facilities have boxes specifically for shipping laptops
    • Flat rate mailing boxes do not offer sufficient room for padding and are highly discouraged
