All MiNT SX-70 cameras come with a 1 year warranty so that you can focus on taking great photos without worrying about the camera. You can service your camera free of charge if it is within the warranty period. You can also extend your warranty. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Repair
If your camera is still under warranty then we’ll fix it free of charge under any condition. If you are outside of the warranty period, you will be charged an initial HKD300 checking fee [check conversion rates for an estimate in your local currency].
After we have received the initial checking fee, we will assess the camera and give you a precise cost for the repair. The HKD300 checking fee will be deducted from the total cost of the repair (so you will not be overcharged).
Sure! We’re always happy to help. Before you do so, contact us via email. Include the following:
- Camera type
- Problems the camera is experiencing
- Photos of the pictures taken by the camera (illustrating the problem).
- Photos of the camera itself to get an idea of the overall condition.
We will give you detailed instructions in our response.
DO NOT MAIL THE CAMERA UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED OUR INSTRUCTIONS.

Usually, it takes 10+ working days to complete repairs but this is depends on the issues and volume of repair requests we receive for different cameras. In some cases, it can take 2-3 weeks. You will be informed before we open up your camera. All fixed cameras will have a one month warranty on the repaired parts.
Warranty
The MiNT warranty includes cleaning and repair service without any charge during the warranty period.
In 2009, MiNT hired a team of retired Polaroid technicians to restore broken Polaroid cameras and maintain them. Since then, we’ve also noticed that many SX-70s which appear to work fine are actually showing their age and reaching the end of their lifespans. Since then, we’ve begun restoring and cleaning every camera before we place them in the hands of their new owner. Every camera you find at MiNT has been carefully restored and certified by an expert, guaranteed to work and arrives in exceptional condition – earning the right to be considered a “MiNT” camera. Our specialists are absolute professionals and we’re enthusiastic about what they bring to the table – so you can rest easy knowing that such an experienced team is working to give you the best product on the market.
We have our own in-house camera repair team. Each of our camera specialists has over 10 years of experience working on cameras – some of them even worked for Polaroid back in the day!
Of course – you can simply purchase the MiNT Care Plan for HKD400 [or equivalent in your local currency]. Alternatively, for in-store purchases only: buy any 3 packs of Polaroid Originals film and add HKD150 to extend your warranty for a year.
If your warranty has expired beyond 1 year, you can still renew it for HK$500.
If your warranty has expired beyond 1 year, you can still renew it for HK$500.
