Every item returned to IP Security Depot (IPSD) is subject to the following terms and conditions. Some items can be returned to IPSD and some items cannot be returned to IPSD. We will go through the return process and what items can be returned in detail below.
If you have any questions, please contact IPSD at (877) 288-7147.
Time Limit for Returns
IPSD has a 30 days from the date of purchase time limit for returns.
No item can be returned to IPSD after 30 days has passed from the date of purchase. After 30 days from the date purchase, every order is considered acceptable to the customer, and cannot be returned.
2-Step Return Process
If it has been less than 30 days from the date of purchase and you wish to return an item, please take the following two steps.
By following these two steps, you are expediting the return process and making sure that you will receive an appropriate action or credit upon IPSD processing the returned item.
1. Obtain an RMA Code
To initiate the return process, obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Code from IPSD by emailing our service desk. You must obtain an RMA code before sending any item back to IPSD.
Any item received without an RMA code will be refused.
To obtain an RMA code, please email service@ipsecuritydepot.com with the following information. This information is required:
- Order number
- Manufacturer part number
- Serial number
- Reason for return
- Action requested (replacement, return, repair, credit)
- Condition of item (manufacturer sealed or not)
- You must include all of this information.
RMA approval is contingent upon receipt of item in original condition, as defined below.
2. Ship Item to IPSD
After you have obtained an RMA code, please ship the item in its original condition back to IPSD.
The customer is responsible for all shipping charges when returning an item to IPSD. Additionally, the customer is responsible if an item is lost during return shipping or if an item becomes damaged.
Because of this risk, IPSD highly recommends that you use insured parcel post when returning an item.
Upon IPSD receiving the item in original condition, we will take the appropriate action for the return as specified when obtaining the RMA code.
