The 30-day home trial explained

30 days

The 30-day home trial

Live with your hyve for 30 days from the delivery date. If it isn't right for your porch, you can return it for a refund.

  • Reach out to us first — email or text — and we'll walk you through it and send return instructions.
  • The locker comes back in its original packaging with everything that shipped with it: the security tether, the battery pack, the mounting hardware, and any Smart Return Labels.
  • Your refund is the purchase price minus return shipping, sent to your original payment method once the locker arrives back with us.
  • Any paid plan is cancelled at the same time — nothing carries on after the return.
1 year

The 1-year manufacturer's warranty

Every hyve is covered for one year from delivery against defects in materials and workmanship. If something on the locker fails under normal use, we'll repair it or replace it — our call, our cost.

  • It starts with a message. Tell us what's happening, send a photo or a short video if you can, and we'll take it from there. Most warranty claims never need the locker shipped anywhere.
  • Not covered: physical damage or misuse (drops, impacts, modifications, use outside the instructions), cosmetic wear that doesn't affect how it works, theft or loss of the locker itself, and consumables like AA batteries and Smart Return Labels.
  • The warranty applies to the original purchaser and isn't transferable.

If you do decide to return it

  1. 01
    Message us

    Email or text with your order number and a line about why. We'll confirm the return and send instructions the same day we hear from you.

  2. 02
    Pack it the way it came

    Original box, tether, battery pack, mounting hardware, and any Smart Return Labels. Take a photo before you seal it.

  3. 03
    Ship it back

    We'll send the return label and the address. Once the locker arrives and is checked in, your refund goes to the original payment method, less return shipping.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method after the locker arrives back and is checked in; your bank may take a few additional business days to show it. Returns received outside the 30-day window, or without the parts that shipped with the locker, may be refused or refunded at a reduced amount — reach out and we'll tell you before you ship anything. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary by state. Nothing on this page limits your rights under applicable consumer law.

The things we can usually fix in one message.

If your reason is on this list, text us before you box anything up. Odds are you'll keep the locker.

It won't pair, or the app can't find it

Nine times out of ten it's Bluetooth permissions or the hub being a few feet too far from Wi-Fi. Two minutes over text.

The driver didn't use the vendor PIN

It's a delivery-instructions problem, not a locker problem. We'll show you exactly where to paste the PIN for each carrier.

It seems to be losing power

Solar trickle needs a little light to do its job. We'll check placement and, if the batteries are the issue, sort it under warranty.

Not sure how to mount or tether it

Door, gate, post, or fence — there's a right way for every porch. Send a photo of your spot and we'll tell you which.

On the fence? That's the moment to message us.

Whether it's a question, a problem, or a return you've already decided on, it starts the same way — with a person on the other end.
