## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)Orders requiring a signature upon delivery FAQs
### When is ‘Signature Required’ for order delivery?
A signature requirement is added to high value orders to help protect against theft. In general, if the order includes a smartphone, it’s likely a signature will be required at delivery. The signature requirement is determined by the T-Mobile distribution center during shipping.
### How will I know my order has shipped with Signature Required for order delivery?
If you purchased a device, especially a smartphone, it is highly likely a signature will be required. We will alert you if ‘signature is required during delivery’ in the order confirmation and order shipped notifications sent by T-Mobile via email or SMS. After the order is shipped, you can also visit [UPS.com/track](https://www.ups.com/track), enter the order tracking number from your T-Mobile Order Shipped notification, and check for the ‘Signature Required’ alert. While you’re there, check the expected delivery date set by UPS and sign-up for UPS notifications about the delivery.
### Can I change the delivery address after the order is shipped?
Once the order is on its way, re-routing options may be available from UPS using their [UPS My Choice](https://www.ups.com/us/en/track/ups-my-choice.page) service.
### What do I do if the 3rd delivery attempt fails and the device I ordered gets returned to T-Mobile?
Please call T-Mobile Customer Care at [1-800-937-8997](tel:18009378997) and a we will help to re-process and re-ship your order. You will receive a refund to your original payment card for any amount T-Mobile charged for that order. This process usually takes 7-10 days, including the refund to the payment card.
## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)Need to return your trade-in device?
- The fastest way is to return it at a [T-Mobile store](https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator). This way, you don't have to worry about finding your label, printing it, and packing the box.
- If shipping is required or more convenient for you, learn how to [ship us your trade-in device](https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/return-trade-in-device).
### Upgrades that require shipping
- __JUMP! upgrades:__ Your [order status in your T-Mobile account](http://t-mo.co/2hoTQIG) will have JUMP! upgrade displayed.
- __T-Mobile Authorized Retailer:__ These locations can't accept trade-ins. The [store locator](https://www.t-mobile.com/store-locator) will indicate the type of store.
- __Other retailers:__ Trade-ins associated with purchases from other retailers like Apple, BestBuy, Samsung, and Walmart must be shipped.
