Who can use the NEC Display Solutions Total Trade Program?Anyone with pre-owned product(s) to trade in toward the purchase of new NEC Display Solutions equipment can access and use the Total Trade Program directly at http://necdisplay.tradeups.com/.

How do I use the Total Trade Program?You may either register to establish a logon ID, or use guest access to skip the registration process. (Note that you will need to register in order to complete a trade on the website.) A key advantage of registering is the ability to save multiple quote lists for later access. Your saved quote list will automatically be updated with the current trade-in values. Customers, NEC Display Solutions channel partners, or NEC Display Solutions sales representative will be able to access the Total Trade Program web site, enter the equipment to be traded, and receive a quote for the value of the equipment. From that point, the user can decide whether or not to continue working through the process to ship pre-owned product back to us. If a customer accepts the quote and chooses to trade in their pre-owned equipment, they will need to show proof of their new NEC Display Solutions product purchase in order to receive their redemption check.»back to top

How are the trade-in values determined?The values stated in the Total Trade Program are based on their value in the pre-owned or secondary marketplace also known as Fair Market Value (FMV). Market Velocity maintains relationships with dozens of re-marketers throughout North America and also maintains a proprietary pricing database which feeds the Total Trade Program web site. We pass along whatever the re-marketers will pay for the pre-owned equipment to the customer. It is best to think of the trade-in value as the pre-owned wholesale value. »back to top
How is the money for the trade disbursed?All redemption checks are mailed via the U.S. Postal Service to the address designated in your transaction. We will issue your redemption check approximately 8 weeks after receipt and inspection of your trade-in product and validation of your proof of purchase, whichever is later. If you need assistance, please contact customer service at nectradeinservice@marketvelocity.com.»back to top

What if the condition of my product is different from what I represented when initiating my trade in?To receive your redemption check, you must accurately state your current product's condition. Market Velocity will perform an inspection upon receipt of your product. If the product's condition differs materially from that which you described, Market Velocity reserves the right to re-price your transaction quote using the same condition parameters originally available to you. You agree to state product conditions accurately and to the best of your ability based on the guidelines posted on this site. Packing and shipping recommendations should be followed in order to avoid possible damage or loss. If you follow the above packing guidelines and instructions, the product should arrive in the same condition as when it left your site. If the product is damaged during shipping and there is visible damage to the packing materials (box is dented, ripped, smashed, etc.), Market Velocity will take responsibility for resolving any claims with the courier. If the packing is in tact, but the product is not in the condition stated by you in the quote process, Market Velocity will contact you to advise you of the adjusted quote value. If your current product(s) were received and through the inspection process, it was determined that the product condition was misrepresented by you, and there is no trade value, (also see Determining Values). Market Velocity reserves the right to charge you a recycling fee for the disposition of this product. If the product can be returned to you, you will be responsible for any and all associated shipping costs.»back to top

How do I ship my product?During the trade-in process, you will be asked for the email address where you would like your shipping instructions emailed. Within one business day of completing your trade, an email with the subject line “Total Trade Program shipping instructions” will be emailed to the address you provided while registering and will provide the steps for retrieving your shipping label or shipping placard. This email will contain embedded links for each product you are trading. To view, simply click on the link and your prepaid, pre-addressed shipping label or shipping placard will appear. A Microsoft window will direct you on how to print out your label or placard. Print two copies, and attach one to the shipment of your trade-in product and retain the second copy for tracking purposes.
If you are shipping multiple items, please package each item individually and use the appropriate shipping label for each item. It is important to use the correct shipping label/placard for each individual item, as the label/placard is used to expedite tracking, identification and increase the speed of processing.
You have 30 days from the day you completed your on-line trade to return the product. The expiration date will appear on the shipping label in the “Reference # field” and as “Expiration date of the trade-in” on the shipping placard.
If you experience technical difficulty in printing these items or you lose your shipping instructions email, please contact customer service.»back to top
