ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Gia/GG. I've been in the AIBO community for about five years, though I've cherished these bots for many more. Professionally I work in the engineering field and I've made it my mission to help AIBOs reunite with their owners with a clean bill of health. I hope AIBO will make you as happy as it made me over the years!

Me and my beloved ERS-311B Coconut, who has since retired from the pack.

PACKAGING & PREPERATION

Whether you are planning to send in a whole body or one of your aibo's extremities for repair, careful packaging will help ensure that your pup is safe on it's trip. Please observe the safest packaging practices mentioned below.


Whole Body

Shown in the image below is the proper way to prepare a body for shipping. The head should be tilted down and both front legs out in front of the robot. The back legs should be folded like below. With legs against the body, wrap the robot in a thick cocoon of bubble wrap, akin to packaging glass. Reinforce the packaging if necessary, and make sure that you don't hear anything rattling around when you shake the box.


Specific Limb

If you plan to ship out a specific limb, like a leg, fold the lower hald upwards like shown. If you are sending a head, make sure it is tilted down. Wrap in a thick layer of bubble wrap akin to packaging glass. Reinforce the packaging if necessary, and make sure that you don't hear anything rattling around when you shake the box.


Head (ERS-210)

ERS-210 heads must be heavily reinforced so that the neck doesn't break. Tilt the head all the way down and wrap in a thick layer of bubble wrap, akin to packaging glass. Reinforce the packaging if necessary, and make sure that you don't hear anything rattling around when you shake the box.

T.0.S

Payment

All payments must be made via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or Cashapp. I do not take direct bank transfers or physical checks/cash.Payment will be made after the aibo arrives to me and is inspected for a final quote. Talk to me about payment plans.

Cancellations

I have a right to decline any repair throughout the process. If I decline a repair while it is in progress, the client will be promptly refunded and the aibo will be reassembled and shipped back to the return address free of charge.If a repair job is received and the client no longer wishes to continue with the repair, they will be promptly refunded and must pay for return shipping. If the repair is in progress and the client no longer wishes to continue with the repair, only a partial refund may be offered depending on the model, parts being used, and labor. The client will be responsible for return shipping.All refunds are issued within 24 - 80 hours.

Parts & Turnarounds

Turnaround times for your repair depends on your model and your aibo's symptoms. I do not promise any kind of turnaround time unless a rush fee of a minimum three weeks is applied. Rush fees can be requested after your aibo reaches me and is diagnosed. If I do not meet the turnaround time, the rush fee will be promptly refunded.Some repairs require donor parts from other aibos which may affect the price and turnaround time. Parts are supplied by me unless mentioned otherwise.

Home Repairs / Past Repair History/Customs

I may charge more if your aibo was recently botched in another repair or has an unknown repair history, both which usually end in requiring donor parts. Prices vary on the damage done and parts/labor.aibos that have been custom painted may pose a risk to scratching or slight damages to the paint if it was not sealed correctly.

Shipping + Warranty

The client must pay for shipping and return shipping. Please refrain from using UPS.All repairs come with a three month warranty. This warranty does not protect against acts of nature, shipping damage, or accidents unrelated to the repair, such as fall damage. The warranty applies to the repaired part only.The aibo is insured during return shipping for the total price of the repair + shipping. If shipping damage occurs, a case will be opened with the carrier.

Infestations/Mold

If you had an infestation of any bug or insect in your home in the past six months or are currently dealing with an infestation, you must make this known before sending your aibo in for repair. If an aibo arrives with insects or bugs that pose a risk to infestation in my own home, I have a right to cancel the repair and deny a refund.If any part of your aibo is moldy, including external parts like plastic shells, ears, tails, etc. I must also be made aware so I can take the extra precautions. Depending on the severity, extra to your final quote may be charged.

Communication

If the client does not respond or fails to initiate conversation regarding repair or payment within six months, in accordance with general repair store policy. I have the right to claim the aibo hardware as a donation. Any aibo hardware that falls into this clause will either be resold or parted out to assist repairs.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

HAVE AN AIBO TO SELL/DONATE?

I am always looking for aibos and their extremities for parts and refurbishments. I will take any model in any condition (with mold and infestation exceptions, see the bottom of my TOS) either through a sale or donation (thank you!) I also take batteries.Note that if you want to sell your aibo, you will not get a full/listing price for it, especially if it's untested and considered junk.
