Still haven't got mine, 7 days later but I'm assured it will be returned in next 48 hours.
They definitely recieved mine using the 2 line freepost address. Their lab is at the same address as Garmin Europe so they can easily deal with your enquiry. |

Hi All. Do you have to phone Garmin to arrange with them that you are sending your card, or just post to the previously mentioned address (freepost).
I am still a little unsure about just posting it of in to the unknown |

I just posted mine,no prior arrangement.I sent it special delivery to make sure it got there,guaranteed next day.Also trackable online using post office referance number you get.I had my doubts too,but am glad i did it now.All in all a good turnaround,considering the demand they must be getting.

Got mine back this morning. So thats sent monday back friday. Happy with that
No need for anything Big R. Afterward i thought i should of enclosed a note but i didnt. Just send the card (wraped in some paper with "card in here" written on it) and an envelope with my name/address on it.
Dont worry bout a stamp on your return envelope thay sort that.
Send off and enjoy

I addressed the envelope to:
i3 update
Freepost GARMIN
The man at the post office refused to accept it at first as it did not have a post code.
After my insistance and a lengthy phone call to his head office he accepted it reluctantly.
I have tracked it and it was delivered today fron their Romsay office.
This is no where near Nottingham, as mentioned in previous posts.
I am keeping my fingers crossed. |

I wouldn't worry, but it might add a day or two onto the 4 day turnaround time. |

In case anyone else gets any problems with ignorant Post Office workers then you might want to print this...
