Shipping and Handling
How do I return the product once I have an RMA number?
Once you receive your RMA number, follow these steps to return your product:
Preventing damage from packaging and shipping is crucial. When packaging your product for an RMA, please ensure you discharge yourself of any static electricity by grounding yourself to a metal surface. This will help prevent any electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the components.
Carefully package your item in the original box and packaging. Handle the item with care, and ask for assistance when lifting and boxing the product to prevent any injury.
If you do not have the original box and packaging, please let our team know so we can assist. Additionally, please let us know if you need help with the packaging steps.
Once the item is safely packaged, tape up the box with heavy duty packaging tape, ensuring there are no gaps or loose ends. Place the provided return label on the box, and ensure it is taped down properly.
Bring the item to your closest UPS Store and ask for a receipt. This confirms that your drop-off was received, so keep this for your records.
Who is responsible for the shipping costs?
If you are returning an item due to damage, a wrong order, or something that is not your fault, Skyforge PC will assume the shipping costs for the return label.
In the case of a repair, you are responsible for the cost of the return label to Skyforge PC. There is a flat rate $75 fee for all RMA labels.
All return shipping for repairs will be covered by Skyforge PC when we send your system back to you.
In cases where you are within the 30 day return window, you are responsible for the cost of shipping, and this will be subtracted from your total refund amount. To learn more about our refund policy, please visit this page.
Refunds, Repairs, and Replacements
What happens after I send back the product?
Depending on the reason for your return, this process will vary.
For replacements, we will ship out the replacement product as soon as it is available. If the item is in stock, your replacement item will be shipped out within 1 business day. If the system is not available, it may take 7 to 10 business days for us to build and ship out your replacement unit.
For repairs, we will inspect the returned package, and begin troubleshooting your system. Once we've confirmed the defective component(s), we will replace them as soon as possible. Once the repair is complete, we will do a final test before shipping out your repaired system.
For refunds, we will inspect the returned package, and confirm all the original items in your order were included. After inspection, we will test the system to ensure it was not damaged during the return shipping. Once your system passes the inspection and validation, we will process your refund right away.
How long does it take to process my return?
The return process will vary depending on the nature of your return, however most requests are typically handled within 7 to 10 business days. During high volume times of the year like the holiday season, your request may take slightly longer to process.
When will I receive my refund?
You can expect to receive your refund within 3-4 business days after we've processed it. This may vary depending on your specific financial institution.
