Packing List

1) It is critical to package your console carefully. Original packaging is best, otherwise be sure that there is at least 2 inches of padding on all sides. Do not have any gaps in padding and be sure to fill the entire box with packing material. We do sell premade boxes (starting at $50) with packaging at a cost. Contact our support division for a price.

2) We are NOT responsible for lost or damaged shipments. For this reason we recommend purchasing shipping insurance through your courier.

3) Include a letter with: Your Name, Return Shipping Address, Phone Number, and a brief description of what problems you are having with the board.

4) Include a pre-paid shipping label for getting the console back to you. If we do not get a pre-paid shipping label, we will require payment for shipping prior to sending the board back.

 

STEP 3 - Pay for your repairs

 

Prepayment may be required for your repair. Otherwise we will evaluate the repair, contact you with the provided phone number and let you know how much the repairs will cost.

 

There is typically a $75 per hour labor fee for repairs.

 

All repairs require prepayment. We will not be able to begin repairing your console until we have received payment in full.

 

Credit Card - We accept all major credit cards.

 

Check - Orders cannot be processed until after the check has cleared. Please mail your check to:

Be sure to include a copy of the PO and write the PO number on the check.

 

Wire Transfer - there is an added $25 fee for all wire transfers. Contact our support division for wire transfer information.

 

STEP 4 - Repair and ship back

 

We pride ourselves on quick and effective repairs. We will do our part to get the console repaired and shipped back on a timely basis. Be sure to follow steps 1 though 3 quickly so that we can get your board back on air.

 

We DO NOT provide loaner boards. For this reason, we always highly recommend having a backup board. An ideal board for backup would be our ARC-8 or ARC-10 series. Please talk to our sales staff (sales@arrakis-systems.com) for more information.

Service Procedures

 

Arrakis Systems assumes that its customers have on staff (or access to) competent technical personnel and adequate test equipment.

 

If a product fails, Arrakis will first seek to ascertain the problem over the phone and solve it at the modular replacement level where we find the specific part(s) that have failed and repair or replace them. This is the least expensive and time consuming solution for you. Depending on the circumstances and at our discretion, Arrakis will replace the specific PC board suspected to be at fault. If replacing PC boards does not resolve the problem, then the console is to be returned to the factory where it will we repaired and returned to you. Repair time at the factory is normally two week days. If the customer chooses to repair the console in the field, then Arrakis will, at its sole discretion, send replacement parts under warranty. Arrakis can not warranty labor performed in the field.

 

Shipping- The customer is responsible for payment for shipping to the factory. Parts returned to the factory freight collect will be refused. Return shipping over and above the cost of UPS ground will be born by the customer. In the case of international shipments, all cost of shipping and duties are born by the customer, both to and from the factory.

 

Under no circumstances will Arrakis replace a defective console with a replacement console.

 

IMPORTANT- Under no circumstances does Arrakis take any responsibility for non-factory technical expenses.

To have a part replaced under warranty, you must:

1) Provide a valid product serial number that is within the warranty period

2) Contact the Arrakis customer service department and describe what parts need replacement and the circumstances of the failure. (The customer service department may require on site test by your technician to confirm the part replacement is appropriate for your problem.)

3) A Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #) will be issued when a part s to be returned to the factory.

4) Return ALL defective parts to the factory (shipping prepaid) to the attention of the “Customer Service Departent” with a letter including your name, address, call letters, serial number, date, and valid RMA #.

5) Parts replaced under warranty will be shipped at Arrakis expense by UPS ground. Any expense over and above UPS ground will be born by the customer.

 

IMPORTANT- If the defective parts are not returned to the factory within 30 days, you will be invoiced for them and it will be assumed that they do not fall under warranty. Further customer service will be denied until the defective parts are returned of paid for.
