How Can I Claim Warranty on my Amazon Kindle?

Amazon Kindle users must contact customer service for information on obtaining warranty service for their device, as this information is not currently available on Amazon’s website.

Once customers have obtained this information, they can package and deliver their damaged Kindle to the provided address and have their Kindle repaired!

Amazon requests that customers either use the original packaging for their Kindle or equally protective packaging to prevent further damage when shipped.

However, before a customer can send their kindle away for repairs, they are well ahead to remove any personal data, storage media, software, and other necessary materials.

If this data isn’t removed, there is a chance that it could end up being destroyed throughout the repair process, which Amazon is not responsible for and will not be able to restore.

The time frame for repairs will depend largely on the amount of damage to the Kindle as well as the estimated shipping times. Customers can find out about estimated repair times when speaking with customer service!
