HOW TO RETURN A FAULTY PRODUCT?
We highly recommend that you contact the manufacturer helpline for general/technical enquiries, before contacting us. Most manufacturers have trained technicians that can help resolve most issues over the phone. If the product is deemed to be faulty, please request a case/RMA number as confirmation of the fault.
Providing a valid case/RMA number will greatly assist in the processing of returns.
Please be aware that if the manufacturer has determined the issue to be a hardware fault, they may choose to deal directly with you. When this is the case there is no need to contact us, unless they advise otherwise.
If you receive a case/RMA number, contact our Customer Service Team for a return address then simply return the product, case/RMA number and a copy of the invoice to our return address for a repair or replacement, or whatever the manufacturer advises. Please send the product in its original box with all original package contents, a copy of the invoice, case/RMA number and description of the fault with the Invoice Number in the Attention line:
