A credit card form must be filled out prior to shipping an advanced replacement, and the defective product must be returned directly to DW. Please contact the RMA department for more details.
Warranty Repairs
Items are eligible to be repaired under warranty if the unit is purchased within 2-5 years of the return date. Please refer to your specific unit’s warranty card for the term of that particular unit’s warranty. Proof of purchase including serial number is required to be considered for warranty repair.

Defective Unit Replacements

Return of the damaged unit has to be received by us within 15 days of the receipt of the new unit. If the distributor chooses to swap out a unit that was purchased outside of our 90 day return policy we will not issue credit on the defective unit but process the unit as a warranty or non-warranty repair. Once the unit is received we will issue credit to our distributor for the unit. We will pay for freight to the customer by way of ground shipping.

Return Packaging Requirements
Due to excessive damage, as result of improper packaging all Units scheduled credit for return must be shipped in the original box and packaging material the unit was originally received in. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in credit cancellation. We appreciate your cooperation. If you received your unit damaged, the freight company that delivered the unit must be contacted immediately and a claim must be placed with that company.
