It's certainly small enough to box.

How much does the phone weigh?

Return kit sounds like a box with a prepaid label, so you should be good.

Unless you want to leave no room for a fail by putting random weight inside the return parcel, my advice will be to ftid them with just an EB. Make sure your reference details from the returns label is cut off, we want Sprint to receive the parcel but not know its yours.

Try and remove the tracking number as well.

As for if your phone will be blacklisted, there's always a possibility but I doubt it, since Sprint will assume its somewhere in their returns warehouse.
