At IT Hardware Outlet, we value customer satisfaction and aim to deliver quality IT hardware and dependable service. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may be eligible to return the item for a refund or exchange, subject to the terms outlined below. Please review this Return Policy carefully before submitting a return request.

RETURNS & REFUNDS OVERVIEW

We accept returns for eligible products that meet our return conditions. Returned items must be approved through our Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) process prior to being shipped back to us. Returns that do not comply with this policy may be refused or subject to restocking fees.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURNS

To qualify for a return, all items must meet all of the following conditions:

Return Timeframe

  • Returns must be postmarked within 30 days from the original purchase date.

Product Condition

  • Items must be unused, undamaged, and in original condition.
  • Products must be returned in their original packaging.

Packaging and Components

  • All original accessories, manuals, labels, tags, and components must be included.
  • Products that show signs of physical damage, tampering, or misuse are not eligible for return.

Items that fail to meet these requirements may be denied or may incur applicable restocking fees.

RETURN AUTHORIZATION PROCESS (RMA)

All returns require prior authorization. Returns sent without an approved RMA number will not be accepted.

Step 1: Request an RMA

To initiate a return, request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) by emailing:

How do I obtain an RMA number?

To request an RMA, email [email protected] with your order number and reason for return. Our team will review your request and provide further instructions.

Do I have to pay return shipping if I received free shipping?

Yes. If you return a non-defective item that originally qualified for free shipping, you are responsible for return shipping costs.

If a product is confirmed defective and qualifies for a return, we may cover standard ground return shipping at our discretion. Expedited shipping options, if requested, remain the customer’s responsibility.

If a replacement is not available, we may offer:

  • A comparable replacement item, subject to availability, or
  • A refund to the original payment method based on the purchase price

Can I exchange my item for a different product?

No. Exchanges are limited to replacement of the same product only. We do not offer exchanges for different items.

Do I need to return all accessories?

Yes. All original accessories, packaging, manuals, tags, and labels must be included. Missing components may result in additional restocking fees or denial of the return.

Why hasn’t my refund appeared yet?

Once a refund is issued, it may take several business days to appear in your account, depending on your bank or card issuer. If the refund does not appear after a reasonable period, please contact your financial institution or reach out to us for assistance.
