What is RMA
RMA stands for Return Merchandise Authorization. It is the procedure for returning faulty hardware for repair or replacement.
RMA terms
- Before shipping any goods, buyer must contact the seller and follow the seller’s instructions. If purchased from a reseller – contact the reseller rather than Compulab. The reseller is committed to providing identical RMA service to that of Compulab.
- In many cases the observed issues do not stem from a hardware failure and a support engineer can help troubleshoot them on-site.
- Buyer is advised to become familiar with warranty terms
- Every unit undergoes complete functional testing at the factory before shipping.
- RMA shipping from the buyer to the seller is on buyer expense.
- Shipping back is on seller expense unless:
- Warranty is void due to expiration or user damage.
- RMA is found to be unjustified since hardware is in good working order.
Repair duration
- Stock configuration units are normally replaced as soon as the unit arrives at the seller’s facility and undergoes inspection. Replacement normally takes place within 1 week.
- Custom configuration units are normally repaired and shipped back. The procedure normally takes up to one month.
Repair service in cases where warranty does not apply
- Warranty may be void due to expiration or user damage.
- Product examination / testing – $50, for all products regardless of test results.
- Product repair – $80, only for repaired products.
- Failing products are discarded; only functional products are shipped back.
- Shipment costs in both directions and taxes, if any, are covered by the buyer.
Service is provided at fixed rates:
CompuLab does not guarantee that it will be able to repair the product.
