Dealer Returns Procedure

Removal, refit and freight costs for return goods are not covered under warranty.

Return of Faulty Goods

1. Contact your state sales rep or reception on PH: Australia and New Zealand +61 8 9383 7833 describing the model, fault and invoice number of the faulty product.
2. A Neltronics representative will create an RA (Return Authority) and advise the best return method. A FREE return service is offered by returning goods to your state rep.

3. DO NOT send goods back using Neltronics accounts without authorisation as freight conditions must be met to suit our various account types. Unauthorised use will be recharged to the dealer.

4. Ensure paperwork accompanies the goods to avoid delays and possible costs.

Advance Replacement Goods

1.  Escort Radar may at times offer an advance replacement of stock to lessen the burden to the end user. This service is at the discretion of the sales managers and is designed for DOA products rather than used products. Note that any products found not qualifying as DOA will be repaired/replaced and returned to the store as dealer stock. This should be considered when offering the customer an advance replacement.
2. The risk that the warranty may be rejected remains with the store so it is important that you have tested the goods and checked the installation prior to replacing the product.
3. Advance replaced goods are invoiced to the store including freight. A credit is issued upon receipt of complete DOA stock.
