All goods purchased from us come with one year warranty (unless otherwise specified), or longer if the manufacturers warranty covers it. Complete systems purchased from us have a one year RTB (return to base) warranty.  For printers, monitors, laptops, some modems, the warranty is covered by the manufacture, customer should contact manufactures directly for warranty claim.

Please note, we cannot send replacements before we receive your old item back under any circumstances. For more details, please see: Warranty conditions

How does the warranty work?

When you need to claim warranty on a faulty item, please contact us (Email preferred), explain the symptom/s, we will either give suggestions to fix the problem, or issue a RMA number (Return Merchandise Authorization).

When you send the returning goods, please make sure adequate packaging is provided, e.g. a motherboard container by itself is not sufficient. Please contain a copy of the original invoice, a short fault description note, and mark RMA number clearly outside the packing box. RMA number is valid for two weeks. Please request a new RMA number after that. All returning goods should be sent by registered parcel, we are not responsible for any missing goods returned to us.

Customer pays the freights for sending warranty claim goods both ways. If the returned item is not faulty, then the item will be sent back at customer's expense plus a NO Fault Found Fee of $55.  Please note, a large percentage of returned goods are in fact not faulty.
