Once you go to the Web site and find your model, the rest of the process is quite easy, just fill out the personal information and sent it via the Web, they will confirm through your E-mail and send you a packing box as well as instructions for packing and shipping. It does say to allow 4-6 weeks for your heater to arrive. As you may have noted you do have to return your old heater, so if you don't send it in that will delay the replacement heater. I received the packing box within three days.
