iMCheck offers 100% free shipping via 7-Eleven stores and home delivery across Taiwan. Complete the 3-minute AI self-diagnosis in the app or on the website to lock in your quote, then use your dedicated shipping code to print a label at any 7-Eleven ibon kiosk and drop off your device.

  • Zero shipping cost:US3C covers both outbound and return shipping (if you decline the final quote).
  • Fully insured:Shipments are covered by logistics insurance up to NT$100,000 for loss or damage.
  • Real-time tracking:You get instant notifications when your device arrives and passes re-inspection.

Yes! With iMCheck's physical channels, it takes just 3 minutes from device drop-off to payout.

First complete the 29-item AI self-diagnosis at home and lock your price in the app. Then visit an AI smart kiosk at designated locations or a US3C store, scan the QR code, complete re-inspection, and choose instant cash or bank transfer — zero waiting.

Every recycled device goes through Securaze's industrial-grade, military-standard deep erasure (compliant with US DoD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88).

Beyond the initial reset, we overwrite and zero-fill every block of the flash memory multiple times, and automatically issue an ISO/IEC 27001-certified digital erasure report — guaranteeing your photos, contacts, banking, and messages are 100% unrecoverable.

iMCheck stands by "no obligation to sell" and a "100% satisfaction guarantee" — you can cancel anytime at no cost.

If the final quote is adjusted after inspection due to wear or hardware differences and you're not satisfied, simply tap cancel in the app. We'll professionally pack and ship your device back free of charge (US3C covers return shipping; abuse accounts excluded).

iMCheck strictly enforces legal and data-security compliance. Our system connects to the national police stolen-device database and iMCheck's blacklist for real-time dual IMEI/serial verification.

To protect both parties, transactions require real-name verification with two IDs and a signed legal-source declaration. If a stolen report or flagged device is detected, the device is locked and reported to authorities — ensuring a 100% legal, trustworthy resale environment.

After completing the AI diagnostic valuation, iMCheck provides a "48-hour price lock guarantee".

As long as you ship via 7-Eleven or drop off in-store within 48 hours:
1. If prices drop:we still buy at your higher locked quote.
2. If prices rise:if the same model's buyback price goes up, we proactively pay you the difference — a dual price-protection promise unique in Taiwan.

iMCheck is Taiwan's first service combining "AI auto-diagnostics" with "instant high-value recycling". No 3C expertise needed — test 29 hardware functions at home in 3 minutes, get an instant US3C big-data quote locked for 48 hours, and cash out via 7-Eleven or a 24H kiosk.

  1. Download the iMCheck app:free on the App Store or Google Play.
  2. 3-minute AI auto-test:tap "Start" and the app guides you through screen, camera, battery, and 29 total checks.
  3. Get an instant quote:see the top market price with a 48-hour lock and +10% deep-diagnostic bonus.
  4. Recycle in one tap:ship via 7-Eleven or drop off at a nearby 24H kiosk, then get paid instantly.

The biggest difference: iMCheck uses objective AI diagnostics instead of subjective in-person haggling, with transparent, uniform quotes and a 48-hour price lock.
