Typical turnaround for repairs is two-weeks. We will make every effort to repair the item within the standard time period. On occasion, hard to locate or unique parts may require longer repair times. If that is the case in your repair, we will notify you immediately of the expected delay.
TEAMSESCO offers a rush repair service to accommodate your needs. TEAMSESCO gives your repair priority over normal repair work throughout the repair process. In most cases, we are able to complete these jobs in 24-48 hours.
If, at your request, your repair requires us to work beyond normal business hours, you will be charged the overtime shop rate (or field service rate, if applicable) for the amount of time a technician is involved with the repair. This charge applies whether or not the item is repaired.
Our comprehensive StarService Guarantee, ONE YEAR ON ALL REPAIRS, is among the best in the industry. During the warranty period TEAMSESCO will repair the unit if it fails in normal operation due to defective workmanship or parts. This warranty will not apply to items that fail due to misapplication, including, but not limited to, improper operation, storage, handling or installation; negligence, abnormal temperature, moisture, dirt or corrosive conditions, part removal or any act of God. TEAMSESCO is not responsible for any expense (including installation and removal) or consequential damage caused by any unit we repair. In any event TEAMSESCO’s liability, under all circumstances, shall not exceed the cost of the original repair.

Provide Internal Protection
Your goal is to surround the items that go inside the carton with a protective cushion. We recommend these steps:
- Wrap each item separately and completely. Fragile articles will require extra wrapping and cushioning. Also, surround any sharp or protruding edges and corners with pieces of corrugated fiberboard; tape in place and then wrap the entire item.
- Place a 3″ layer of cushioning in the bottom of the carton before you put in the wrapped items. Next, position the item in the center of the carton, leaving at least a 3″ void at the top and sides of the carton.
- When packing multiple items, arrange them so that the weight inside the carton is distributed as evenly as possible. Take care to place fragile items away from carton corners and sides.
- Fill all voids inside the carton with cushioning material.
Cushioning and Protective Materials
- Bubble cushioning.
- Paper cushioning (multi-layered paper padding). Ideal for wrapping medium-to-large-sized items and those that may require moisture absorption; excellent for void fill.
- Expanded polystyrene (peanuts). Good for void fill around light-to-medium-weight items, but not acceptable for contents weighing over 70 pounds. Can shift easily during transit, be sure to overfill all voids.
- Corrugated dividers. Cross-sections of corrugated fiberboard are joined to create 3-D dividers. For layering between stacked items.
- Kraft paper. Use to fill voids around light-to-medium-weight items. Not acceptable for contents weighing over 70 pounds.
- Foam-in-place. Polystyrene foam is sprayed into boxes and forms a protective mold around the contents.
- Close the Carton Securely. Proper closure is just as vital to protecting your package contents as good cushioning.
- Do not use masking tape, cellophane tape or string. Use one of the following: 2″ pressure-sensitive plastic tape, nylon-reinforced tape, water-activated paper tape (should be 60-lb tape that is a minimum of 3 inches wide), water-activated reinforced paper tape.
Tape your small carton closed, using the UPS-recommended six-strip taping technique.
- Strips 1 and 2: Apply the tape down the length of both middle seams of the carton – where the flaps meet on the top and the bottom.
- Strips 3 – 6: Apply the tape to each of the seams on either side of Strips 1 and 2 – on both the top and bottom of the carton.
- Heavier items may require an additional strip of tape on all seams. Also, if you´re using water-activated reinforced paper tape, two center-seam strips on both the top and bottom will suffice instead.
