Home > Support > Returns Authorization Form


The Returns Authorization Form is a service to authorize the return for repair/replacement of a defective Addonics product during the approved warranty period. Before you submit your RMA request, be sure that you have contacted our technical support to confirm that you really have a defective product. Often times the problem is simply caused by improper installation or a misconfiguration of the product(s), such as a wrong jumper or switch setting, which you may have overlooked.

RMA Procedure:

1. After receiving the RMA form, the Addonics RMA Department will contact you via email to provide you with an RMA number (this may take up to 2 business days). Make certain that any SPAM filter is turned off or is properly configured to allow incoming mail from the RMA Department.
   
   
2. Upon receiving an RMA Number, return the product (in the original packaging if possible), and make sure to visibly write the RMA Number on the outside of the package. The RMA Number is only valid for 30 days from the date it is issued. Packages which arrive at our warehouse without the RMA Number will be returned to you at your cost.
   
   
3. Please backup your data and remove any storage media when returning a storage product. Addonics is not responsible for any loss of data or storage media.
   
   
4. All returns for credit must contain all original parts, and are subject to approval by Addonics Technologies. We only provide credit returns for products purchased directly from the Addonics Sales Department or the Addonics Online Store: http://www.shopaddonics.com. To return a product purchased elsewhere, contact the vendor from which you purchased the product.
   
   
5. Products with physical damage will void the warranty. Addonics is not responsible for any shipping damage. For any products arrived damaged, we will contact you inquiring how you would like us to deal with the product. If necessary, the RMA department will provide you with a digital image of the packaging or damage to assist you in making your decision. If we do not receive any response from you within 30 business days, we will send you a last notice. If there is still no further response within 5 business days the defective product will be discarded.
