Returns

returns-16.gifRETURNS: The following terms and conditions apply to all sales unless there is a written contractual agreement stating otherwise.

Most products are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can return it for a refund or a replacement based upon the below Terms & Conditions. The premise of this return policy, however, is that the customer will return the goods in substantially the same condition as they were received. The item cannot be disassembled or damaged by incorrect installation. We are not responsible for installation errors. Product returns that are returned for credit will be subject to a restocking fee. Special-order products are not returnable.

To keep our prices incredibly low, we need your help in minimizing returns. That's the kind of overhead that can drive up our costs which in turn we'd have to pass along in higher prices. So please double check that your order is correct before you hit the submit button. If you find that you made a mistake, or just plain changed your mind, you may return your parts as long as you get them back to us within 30 days of receiving your order and get an RMA number from us. They need to be in new and unused condition and in the original packaging.

For RMA and Order Status please call (833) 965-3722 or use this RMA email.

All Returns Are Subject to Manufacturers' Policies: Return privileges are subject to various manufacturers' policies. Many manufacturers have imposed certain return restrictions. Consequently, Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers, Inc. reserves the right to decline specific return requests based on those restrictions. Be sure to ask us about specific return conditions before you purchase any item.

Most products sold by Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers, Inc. are subject to a manufacturers' warranty. Please refer to the manufacturer or publisher's website or contact them for further assistance. If a situation extends beyond the manufacturer or publisher's service centers ability to resolve, contact us for further guidance.

Packaging of Returns: All returns, defective or otherwise, must be 100% complete, contain ALL original boxes and packing material, have original UPC codes on the manufacturer's packaging, contain all blank warranty cards, accessories, and documentation provided by the manufacturer. Incomplete returns, open or used products, or products not in new condition will be assessed additional restocking fees depending on condition and Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers's. ability to re-market the returned product. Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers, Inc. will refuse any return of items missing UPC codes. Products that have been physically damaged or are missing components or parts cannot be returned. Some products are blister packed with the hard plastic packaging you'll have to damage to open. (We try to avoid blister packs, but sometimes that is our only option.) In those cases, we'll make an exception. Go ahead and repackage it as best you can, and will waive the repackaging fee.

We accept all shipping methods but you are responsible for making sure the package gets to us. If we never get the item we can't refund/replace it. We strongly recommend using a reliable carrier with tracking or delivery confirmation. When eligible for a return shipping refund, we will refund shipping fees from FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS (first class or priority mail).

Non-refundable Charges: Labor, installation services, and shipping charges are nonrefundable. Customer is responsible for all return shipping charges; therefore, all returns must be shipped prepaid. Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers, Inc. recommends that you send your return via a traceable service with appropriate insurance. Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers, Inc. is not responsible for lost parcels.

If you return an item using the return label provided in the Online Returns Center and the reason for return is not a result of our error, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund. Once a product is picked up by a shipping carrier we are charged for the label and can't get our money back, so we can't offer shipping refunds for orders with address problems, if you ordered the wrong part, or if the product didn't meet your needs.

Free Shipping Items: On items that were sold as "FREE Ground Shipping", it is the customer's responsibility to pay the actual cost to ship the item to the customer in the original shipment as well as the shipping charges to ship the item back to us.

In order for Fiber Optic Matrix Switchers to process the accurate cross ship request, customers will have to pay for the replacement product first.

  • Not be scuffed from insertion or pulling through walls and/or cable trays or conduits;
  • Not have been injured by hard twisting (as when pulled through conduit from a coil sitting on the floor without anyone feeding the cable straight into the pull);
