Shipping

• Customers pay for their own return shipping costs to send items back to our returns facility. We cannot refund original shipping fees or offer prepaid return labels except in cases where the return is needed due to our error.
• We recommend retaining the original shipping boxes and packing materials when possible to avoid damage in transit back to us. For valuable merchandise, always ship returns with tracking and consider extra insurance in case of loss or damage during shipping. We cannot guarantee refunds for returns lost in transit.
• Once your return is received and inspected, return shipping costs will be deducted from approved refund amounts. We will notify you by email of any deductions for shipping prior to processing the refund.
• For heavier, oversized, or fragile items, we suggest comparing rates between major carriers like UPS, FedEx, and USPS to find the most economical shipping option. Retail postal centers may offer better rates than dropping off at a postal mailbox. Consider asking about special rates for business returns or re-used packaging.

• Licensed Electrician Evaluation: For electrical products, it is essential to have a licensed electrician examine the faulty product and provide a detailed report. This ensures that the correct evaluation and repair process are initiated, protecting your safety and complying with industry standards.
• Reporting to the Manufacturer: We will report the findings of the licensed electrician to the manufacturer to ensure that the correct repair or replacement process is followed. This step is vital to maintain the validity of the warranty and avoid any potential delays.
• Repair or Replacement: Once the manufacturer approves the warranty claim, they will proceed with either repairing the faulty product or providing a suitable replacement, depending on the terms of the warranty.
• Status Updates: Throughout the warranty claim process, we will keep you informed about the progress and expected resolution time.
• You must pack the product securely in its original packaging and include your proof of purchase, for the manufacturer to pick up the item. If the item is not in its original packaging then the manufacturer may not agree to pick up the product and initiate the warranty claim.
• You must inspect the merchandise promptly upon delivery and report any faults or damage within 7 days of receipt.

If damage is confirmed to be from normal wear-and-tear, drops, unauthorized repairs, or other non-warranty factors, service and shipping fees will apply. In such cases, we will contact the customer for approval before proceeding with paid repairs.

Unfortunately we cannot provide loaner units during the warranty repair process. For mission-critical equipment, we highly recommend purchasing backup units to prevent downtime in case of defects.
