After you have completed the steps necessary to place a repair order, it is time to box up your Nintendo Switch and send it in to Nintendo for inspection.

1. Compose a letter requesting maintenance and save it alongside your Nintendo Switch.

When you reuse a box, make sure any previous labels are removed or entirely covered up. It cannot be a cushioned envelope; rather, it must be a box.
There should be no games or accessories included (unless those are part of the repair order). If you are going to be including any little objects or games, put them in a plastic bag that can be sealed.

4. Use the tape to secure the lid of the box, and then deliver it to the right shipping company.
