To set up a return, please contact us at 1-866-698-7490 or write to us using the Online Contact Form within 30 days of receiving the order. Our customer service team will provide you with a return address and a Return Authorization Number (RMA) within a few days. RMA numbers are valid for 10 days. Hardware Nation must receive the products within this time frame. RMA numbers will not be extended or reissued. Returns that do not have an RMA number will not be processed and returned to you. Returned products must have a matching serial number and be brand new unused in the original package with all original equipment, components, manuals, blank warranty cards, cables, accessories, and collateral packaging. Incomplete product returns cannot be processed and will be returned to you. Returns should be double boxed to prevent damage during return shipment. Return shipments must be insured for the full value of the items. The RMA number must be clearly visible on the return shipping label. Please do not write the RMA number or make any markings on the original manufacturers package or the manufacturer may deny the return.

We will need the following information to process your return:

  1. Original order number
  2. Manufacturers part number and quantity
  3. Reason for return
  4. Your name, email and daytime phone number
