Network Equipment Buy Back Programs

Hula Networks Buy Back Service

Over the past 20 years, Hula Networks has developed an effective and efficient IT equipment buyback program designed to save your business time and money. We collaborate with a broad range of both national and international clients, including enterprise (from Fortune 1000 to SMB), service providers and government entities. Hula has the reach and expertise to service customers worldwide and within a multitude of industries.

The Goal

Hula Networks' extensive buyback program is focused on total cost of ownership, providing its customer with the best ROI on their decommissioned legacy IT equipment. Hula Networks will apply the value of your legacy IT hardware toward the purchase of new IT Equipment or as cash out purchase providing for funds to your IT budgets.

Our team has a combined sixty years of experience and more than 2,000 customers worldwide. We'll use our logistical and technical expertise to identify and catalogue your network assets, both operational and obsolete. Based on our analysis, you decide whether you want to trade your gear in or sell it outright. Working with us is a great way to open up a new source of revenue for your IT budget.

The Process

We will analyze the current market value of your legacy and decommissioned IT equipment and provide you a tailored buyback solution.

We focus on current market trend and evaluation of reseller pricing. Based on these two parameters, we then make the most competitive offer possible for your equipment.

All of our bids are based upon equipment being either a commodity (high demand) or niche (low demand) product. For commodity products that we stock, we will determine market value and can turn around bids within 24 hours. Depending on the needs of your company, we can apply the value of your hardware toward the purchase of new equipment or pay you cash.

Ship your gear to Hula HQ

Once we have agreed on a price for your equipment, we'll get it shipped to our warehouse. If your business is located in the Bay Area, we will personally pick-up, process and dispose of your end-of-life network equipment right from your designated sites.

If we can't physically pick up your gear, we'll cover the shipping cost and ship on our FedEx account

Whether you're located in San Francisco or Dubai, we'll make sure to get the job done and our team will be available and responsive during each step of the process.

We have prepared a few shipping parameters to ensure that all equipment shipped arrives safe and sound. It is important to minimize any movement of packed equipment while being shipped, especially for international transactions.

• Ensure all equipment is shipped in thick double-walled cardboard boxes, wrapped in 4-5 layers of bubble wrap, foam popcorn or foam to elevate any open areas for movement in shipping.
• Enclose with at least 2 inches of padding around all sides of units.
• Cards need to be enclosed in a static bag prior to being wrapped in bubble or put in a pizza box.
• Any boxes weighing over 75 lbs. please call or email prior to shipment. Make sure equipment is palletized.
• Multiple items in a box need to be wrapped individually.
• Include any accessories rack mounts, power and console cables needed.
• New equipment needs to be double boxed. DO NOT tape over Cisco tape or labeling.
• Palletized items need to be boxed and padded between before placing on the pallet.

Test the equipment and issue payment or trade-in value.

E-Waste Management

With energy costs rising and landfills overflowing more companies are thinking "Green". Many have storerooms full of obsolete or decommissioned networking gear that is taking up valuable space and is a logistical nightmare to catalog and dispose of.

Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge technology, Hula Networks' electronics recycling channel process is unparalleled in scale and the quality of its performance. Hula Networks evaluates values and consolidates both end-of-life and networking scrap electronics for their metal and semiconductor value.

Offering assured destruction through shredding and/or melting of:

• Hard Drives
• Proprietary Materials
• E-waste

 Witness destruction is available

• Clients may view the destruction of their material via:

  • Remote camera
  • Live at an channel partner facility

A certificate of destruction and weight will be issued once all material has been processed and destroyed.

• Shredding
  After e-waste has been pre-picked, it flows into the shredding line to be sized down for commodity separation. The main shredder breaks material down into 4" x 10" fragments and the final shredder reduces it further into poker chip-sized fragments that are optimal for the separation processes.
• Separation
   Hula Networks separates the components, ferrous metals (steel), copper and precious metals, aluminum, and plastic.
  
   The steel and aluminum are recycled as the metals, the plastic is recycled as plastic, and the copper and precious metals are sampled, prepared, and packaged for shipment to a primary copper smelter.
