### Q. My device was delivered but the device seems to be damaged. What should I do?

A. If your device has arrived damaged or there is evidence of tampering, do not use the device. [Contact Microsoft Support](data-box-disk-contact-microsoft-support.md) and return the device at your earliest. You can also create a new Data Box order for a replacement device. In this case, you will not be charged for the replacement device.
