Return Policy

Revised: 2022-April-27 03:37 PST

All policies under this page are subjected to, limited or extended by, the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act of British Columbia, Canada. By purchasing products or services here you agree to comply with your responsibilities under this act and you are granted all rights and privileges provided by this act.

Return Policy

By purchasing here you agree to read, understand, and abide by this Return policy.

Buyers Remorse

On all products unless otherwise explicitly specified in the item listing, there are no returns for buyers' remorse reasons. Also, if the buyer's total dollar value refunds exceeded, or would exceed if a refund was granted, 10% of lifetime gross sales, including first time buyers we may not authorize the return or refund for buyers' remorse reasons.

Buyers remorse: Buyers assume all risks of non-defective parts not being compatible with their devices, not fitting correctly, poor and inferior design by manufacturer, or not being suitable for their intended purpose. If you start a return claiming the item is faulty but you already used it successfully for some time, and there is no manufacturer or government recall on the product, and you no longer want to own that item, Crypto Computing will consider this a buyer's remorse claim and will not provide a refund but will instead replace the item under manufacturer warranty for the exact same item at no cost to you.

We want your feedback. Despite the above please file your return request anyways so that we are aware of your product experience. We may respond by helping you troubleshoot any issues with the product, helping you understand how to use the product, or bringing up your displeasure with your product experience with the manufacturer.

How to File a Return

Do not use the legacy returns function in your store account. Use the new returns portal instead.

To file a return do the following:

1. Visit our Returns Portal at https://cryptocomputing.returnscenter.com/

2. Create a new account at the returns portal (different than your store account).

3. Once logged into the returns portal, Start a return request in the returns portal, following all the prompts, and attach any evidence or comments on your experience as prompted and required by the returns portal.

Returns sent without Authorization

Before returning any item, it is necessary to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) approval. No returns will be accepted without an RMA approval.

We accept no responsibility or obligation for products returned without RMA approval.

All items sent without an RMA approval are the responsibility of the buyer to pay for return shipping. If no return shipping is arranged by the buyer then after 30 days from receiving it the product will be destroyed or liquidated.

When Filing a return in the returns portal include the following information:

Problem statement. Describe the problem with the item, how to repeat the problem, and what steps you took to try and fix the problem. Take high resolution photos and screenshots of the problem.
Before filing a return for defective product contact the manufacturer and work with their technical support people and exhaust all troubleshooting steps with them. If the manufacturer determines the item is defective get their case number confirming it is defective and include it in your return request to us.
Manufacturer case number confirming that you completed all troubleshooting steps suggested by the manufacturer and the manufacturer reasonably believes the item is defective and needs to be repaired or replaced.
The date you purchased your item from Crypto Computing & Electronics Canada
The Item Product Name, Manufacturer Product Code, UPC Code, Serial Number.
Your Order Number from your original purchase with us. The original invoice must be provided.
Our sku code for your product
Final shipping dimensions and weight for the items you will have picked up or dropped off by the carrier service.

All Memory (RAM), all hardware used under heavy load continuously 24/7 to mine cryptocurrency, all overclocked or under-clocked hardware, all hardware modified from its original manufacturer's design, motherboards with bent pins or obvious signs of physical damage, and all over-volted or under-volted hardware is non-returnable & non-cancellable. Software may be returned for replacement only. Software cannot be returned for credit or refund.

Non-Defective Product

You have a legal responsibility when you return products to us, as defined by the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act of British Columbia, Canada. There are NO returns for opened, used, incomplete, or damaged non-defective product for non-warranty related reasons unless approved by the manufacturer or our distributor or as defined by the Act for consumer protection reasons. This follows all distribution and manufacturer policies and therefore no exceptions can be made.

If a return for non-defective product is accepted then all non-defective returns are subject to a 15% minimum, $ 40.00 minimum, restocking fee, whichever is greater up to a maximum of 50% restocking fee depending on how poor the resale value of the condition of the item is which you sent back. To reduce the chances of a restocking fee returns for non-defective product must be unopened, unused, sealed, in its original packaging, full and complete.

Stock Transfers/Restocking

There is no restocking fee on all items returned within 7 calendar days of receipt if returned unused, unopened, in its original sealed packaging, full and complete. If you opened it for testing purposes we cannot accept the return for transfer back to our stock/restocking. Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs for all stock transfers and restocking. The costs of the label issued to you will be deducted from your return for these reasons.

Item is faulty or it's the wrong item

If the item you received doesn't match the description in the original listing just send it back to us in the original condition it was sent to you and we will either refund your money, offer you a partial refund, provide you store credit for a full or partial amount, or send you the correct item that you originally ordered.

Warranty Claims

If the item becomes faulty or damaged due to manufacturer defects or poor workmanship after being used within the first 30 days, you're covered under our return policy as a warranty claim within the limits of the manufacturer's warranty policy. Just send it back to us. If it is dead on arrival, faulty on arrival, or is missing parts and pieces upon arrival but the product was sealed when you got it then this is a warranty claim and Crypto Computing will provide you a replacement unit and/or replacement parts under the manufacturer's warranty for the exact same item that you purchased. If it arrived damaged this is not a warranty claim so contact us immediately to start filing a damage claim with the carrier at 604-762-0213. Once your damage claim is approved we will provide you a replacement for the exact same item that you purchased which was damaged by the carrier.

Once you start a return for an item that is faulty, damaged, or not as described you have up to 14 calendar days to deliver it to our location. If you are very far away this may mean you will need to purchase expedited or express shipping. Please post a tracking number as soon as you have shipped your product. The timelines are short for returns because there are deadlines on our end to return the item to the distributors.

Once the tracking on the product you returned shows it is successfully delivered we will inspect your item and issue your refund or replacement decision within 5 business days. Please note it may take a few days from the time we issue your refund for your payment to clear due to bank processing delays.

Again, Please allow up to 5 business days for us to inspect the item and issue a refund decision.

Decline your return request - We can decline your return request if you changed your mind about an item and/or the item does not explicitly state that you can return it because you changed your mind.

Defective Product due to Manufacturer Defect/Warranty Returns

Physically damaged product will not be covered by the warranty.

Within 30 days from date of purchase if a product is determined to be defective due to a manufacturing defect Crypto Computing will handle the warranty service between customer and the manufacturer during the manufacturer warranty period in obtaining a Return Authorization Number from the manufacturer and providing all logistic requirements such as providing you a prepaid return label. If applicable, Crypto Computing issue you a replacement product following manufacturer policies and guidelines.

Crypto Computing reserves the right to determine whether a product is defective at its sole discretion. Return instructions will be provided and it is the responsibility of the client to return the products in a timely manner to the shipping location provided to you in your RMA instructions. You have up to 8 calendar days from when the RMA number is approved to have it delivered to the address provided in your RMA instructions.

All returns are subject to the conditions outlined in the RMA approval. Failure to comply with the conditions will result in the refusal of the return at the customer's expense. Shipping charges on declined, rejected, and non-approved returns are extra, and are the responsibility of the customer to pay.

In some instances, the manufacturer may request that the return/replacement/ repair is to be taken care of with them directly, at which time we will provide that instruction. In some cases, to help facilitate a return, we may instruct the client to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain a case number that confirms the item is defective. Items found to be non-defective, will be returned to the client at their expense.

Credits may take up to 14 business days to be processed after receipt of the returned merchandise. A credit will not begin processing until we have received the returned product.

After 30 days from the purchase date all product is covered by the manufacturer warranty policies directly. Please contact the manufacturer directly.

All products sold are intended for sale within Canada. Product exported outside of Canada may not be covered under any warranty by us or the manufacturer. Please confirm with us prior to purchasing what the warranty policy details are for products shipped outside of Canada before committing to buy that product from us for export.

If an identical replacement is no longer available, an equivalent specification of the product will be offered or a gift card will be issued with the current value of the equivalent replacement product.

If Crypto Computing decides to replace the product or provide a gift card, merchandise must be returned to the store before the process begins.

Crypto Computing may use refurbished parts to complete some replacements. We will either replace your product with a new, re-manufactured, refurbished or a product of like kind and quality that performs to the factory specifications of the original product.

Send the Item Back

When we accept your return, you'll receive a return label from us, or you'll be asked to purchase a label directly from the carrier. Who covers the shipping cost depends on why you're returning it and our return policy for that specific item which you purchased. The cost of the label may be deducted from the amount due to you in the return.

If you're returning an item because it doesn't match the listing description, or arrives damaged or is dead on arrival, then we are responsible for the return shipping costs. If you changed your mind and want us to ship it back to you after receiving it, you'll need to pay for the return shipping.

You'll also receive a date by which you should ship the item back. This date can be found in the details of your return request, and will be sent to your email address. If you don't ship the return by that date, we may close the request and you will not receive a refund.

When you send your item back make sure a tracking number is added to your return request to avoid delays or issues in the refund process. Make sure you the RMA number is clearly visible on the outside of the box.

If the return is being shipped and no tracking number is posted to the return you should manually add tracking details to the return.

Keep in mind that the condition of the item you send back to us is very important, so repack it carefully. If you return the item used, damaged, missing parts, or damaged during return shipping because it wasn't packaged correctly, Crypto Computing may deduct from your refund to cover the loss in the item's value.

Please allow up to 5 business days for us to inspect the item and issue a refund decision.

Get Your Refund

Once we receive the item back from you, or once we agree to refund you and let you keep the item, we will issue you a refund within 14 business days. When we do, you'll receive an email letting you know.

It usually takes 3 to 5 business days for a refund to go through after getting posted. If you funded your with an E-Check Payment this can incur a very long time to process and clear. If you paid with a credit card, it may take up to 30 days to process, depending on your card provider.

All returns for refunds will be processed with the original method of payment.

Cancelling a Return Request

If you've changed your mind about a case you've opened, and no longer want to return your item, it's easy to cancel your request. All you need to do is let us know that you want to cancel your return. It's important to make sure you're certain you want to cancel a request, as you won't be able to re-open a case once it's been closed.
