Procedures for Obtaining Warranty Service

RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) Policy:

All returns require preapproval by iBUYPOWER and an RMA number to be issued before sending any product back to our facility. Before issuing an RMA number, iBUYPOWER will verify warranty status and determine whether the product can be covered under the specific warranty or not. You must be able to provide proof of purchase and the computer serial number to assist in this determination.

Shipping costs back to iBUYPOWER on any item returned are the sender’s responsibility and expense. iBUYPOWER recommends that the shipment is insured, or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment. iBUYPOWER will cover shipping costs back to the customer for warranty repairs or replacements and will accept the risk of loss or damage; however, iBUYPOWER will not pay for return shipping costs from outside the U.S., e.g., APO/FPO, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.

iBUYPOWER may cover shipping costs both ways on a case-by-case basis and will be determined at the time the RMA is issued.
For returns outside the U.S., e.g., APO/FPO, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, please see our International Warranty Statement for additional information and conditions.
iBUYPOWER will not reimburse shipping costs under any circumstances. If return shipping is provided by iBUYPOWER, it will be done by providing shipping labels.
No COD packages will be accepted.

Types of RMA Returns. Depending on the situation, the following RMA options may be available:

Refund RMA – issued for computer system returns being returned for an approved refund, full or partial. All peripherals and extra items must be returned to obtain the maximum refund; anything missing may be deducted from the refund/credit. Some fees, such as shipping and rush, may be non-refundable. Some other exclusions and restocking fees may apply. Refund/credits will not be processed until the products are received, inspected, disassembled, and processed through the finance department. Please allow time for the financial institution to post the credit back to your account.
Repair RMA – issued for computer system repairs, including desktop and laptops. A full description of the issue should be provided to ensure our technicians can pinpoint the issue and provide the appropriate repair or replacement. Return only the computer system; do not return peripherals, software, or the power cord to avoid loss or failure to return.
Normal RMA Parts Exchange – issued to replace individual components and peripherals that have been determined to defective. This RMA allows products to be returned for direct exchange, i.e. the customer sends the products first to iBUYPOWER and we will replace or exchange according to the warranty conditions described above. Generally, there is no additional charge for this method other than the shipping costs, if applicable, as described above.
Advance RMA Parts Exchange – issued to replace individual components and peripherals that have been determined to defective. This RMA allows the customer to first receive the replacement part, after which the customer will send the defective part back to iBUYPOWER. This method requires collateral, whereby iBUYPOWER has to charge the value of the product(s) in advance on a valid credit card and upon prompt receipt of the defective items, the full amount of the product(s) will be credited/refunded back to the credit card according to the conditions above. All parts must be returned within 30 days for us to process the refund/credit.

Procedures and Additional Information for Returning RMA Products

Packages received by iBUYPOWER without prior authorization from iBUYPOWER will be considered an unauthorized return, and iBUYPOWER reserves the right to take no action with the return; such products will not be accepted and may or may not be returned to sender. The RMA should be written on the outside of the package; delays in processing may occur for packages received without the RMA clearly known.

RMA numbers are valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issuance. All approved returns must be received by iBUYPOWER within 30 days of the date that iBUYPOWER issues the return authorization and instructions. If an RMA becomes invalid after 30 days, a new RMA will need to be re-approved and issued. Any shipping labels provided to you by iBUYPOWER must be used within the validity period, generally 2 weeks, and will not be reissued without valid cause and re-authorization.

Obtaining a RMA number does NOT guarantee acceptance as a warranty transaction unless the product is RECEIVED before the warranty expiration. Products received after the warranty expiration date will be processed as an out-of-warranty product and any replacement parts will incur charges at the current prices.

The sender assumes full responsibility to ensure the computer or parts are packed properly to avoid any physical damage caused during shipping. iBUYPOWER recommends retaining and utilizing original boxes and packaging, including internal foam if applicable, or a similar well-protected box, as outlined in our Packing Instructions. iBUYPOWER will not be responsible for shipping damage caused by improperly or inadequately packed product.

To obtain an RMA number, please have the following information ready:

Billing Name on purchase record
Shipping address
Telephone number
Computer serial number from the rear of the chassis
Purchase proof or invoice
Detailed description of the issue you are experiencing

For product issues or failures, we recommend you contact our technical support for troubleshooting. For other customer service issues, such as parts swaps, missing items, billing issues, shipment inquiries, etc., please contact our customer service department. Initiate the RMA process at our Contact Us page.

Note: Before you return the product to iBUYPOWER, make sure to back up any data on the hard drive(s) and on any other storage device in the product. Remove all confidential, proprietary and personal information as well as removable media such as flash drives, CDs and PC Cards. iBUYPOWER is not responsible for any confidential, proprietary or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media that may be included with your return. Remove any hardware that was added and not part of the original component list from iBUYPOWER prior to the return.
