CompuDirect Holding Company, Inc. Order, Shipping, and Return Policies
|
By placing an order, you have
read and agree to the following:
We strive to provide the best service
and products at the best prices anywhere. In return, you agree, by
placing an order, that it will be charged in the following manner:
- All prices on this site are in U.S. dollars.
- The total current price of the products you have
ordered.
- The appropriate shipping charge for the method
you specify.
- Insurance and handling fee are included in your
shipping charge.
- State sales tax on the gross total, if you live
in the state of South Carolina, Nevada, Tennessee or California.
No sales tax is applied to orders outside of South Carolina, Nevada,
Tennessee or
California.
Our Online Order System will automatically e-mail you
with the exact total billed to your credit card within just a few minutes
of placing the order. Disregard this automated e-mail message
if you were quoted a different price - you will be e-mailed a confirmation
by our Staff instead.
Our Online Order System will compute your shipping charges based on
the approximate shipping weight. We do NOT overcharge on shipping as
many of our competitors do! We are seeking repeat customers which
means you can be assured that you've been charged fairly.
You agree that if you do a chargeback and it's reversed, you will
be charged a order processing fee as outlined below under "CompuDirect
Return Policy".
Please note:
- Notice that there is no extra charge for
Expedited Shipping! Orders received by 12 noon on normal business
days will ship that day unless there is a security issue or other
problem with your order. Some items can not ship same-day, for example,
printer sound enclosures which have to be custom-built and orders
destined for locations outside of the U.S. or to any Nexus State.
- Nexus orders (Maryland, DC, Mass., NY, Arizona,
etc) generally take about 48 hours longer to arrive
at your location so please allow that little extra time.
- We use FedEx and/or UPS and they do not ship to
P.O. Boxes.
- We ship to U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and APO/FPO
addresses only. For other countries, we DO ship to shipping companies
in the U.S. that will forward your item(s) to you! You must arrange
this.
- Shipping rates quoted are estimates
based on the information you have supplied. Shipping rates
do not include duties, taxes or
other non-routine customs brokerage charges. Other shipping charges,
surcharges or accessorial charges may apply and your final shipping
charge may differ based on your shipper characteristics and the characteristics
of, and services requested for, packages actually tendered.
Rates quoted here are based on UPS published rates and do not include
incentives or special programs.
- Your E-mail address must be a 'real' address (called
a POP account) not one from Yahoo, Hotmail, Fastermail, etc. This
is a security measure designed to help protect your credit card
information as well as us and it helps us keep our prices as low
as possible!
If you do use one of those 'virtual' e-mail addresses, your order
will be delayed while we conduct additional security checks. If
your e-mail is invalid (ie, bounces) we will NOT process your order!
- Your computer's IP address and name are recorded
with your order for security purposes. This information is then checked
to see that you are who you say you are. Again, this protects
you and us!
- ALL orders have a shipping charge applied, even
if you are local to us.
- Shipping charges are as computed on our site or
quoted by our staff.
Note: Due to our supplier's requirements, there
is a $25 minimum order requirement. (Computed before adding shipping
and tax.)
We offer Terms to Government, Educational, 501C3 organizations,
and some extremely large corporations (see below under "Application
for Credit / Terms Accounts").
We offer Leases to companies through
GE Express Financial Solutions. They are very quick, and the most
reasonably priced leasing company that we have found and the application
form is unbelievably
small and easy to complete.
Did you know that 73 percent of small businesses lease
equipment, citing the top three reasons to lease as the ability to
manage company growth, take advantage of the latest technology, and
improve asset management?
To apply for a lease, just put the items in your shopping
cart then when you get to the selection for type of payment choose "Lease
Application". Note that the minimum purchase amount for a lease
is $1500 and it must be a company not an individual.
All items purchased using our Online
Order System are covered by a full Manufacturer's Warranty. If an
item you purchased appears to be defective, please contact the Manufacturer
for technical support first. We will be more than happy to assist
you with telephone numbers, website address, and E-mail addresses
that we have on file for a manufacturer.
Nondefective items:
Products that have been opened and are
not defective, cannot normally be returned. We typically make
$5 or less per item and thus can not afford to allow returns on a
whim. Please make sure you know what you are purchasing before
placing your order. If you purchased and received an item
within the last 30 days then determined that it is not right for you,
do NOT open it. Write us at
(or you can call us at 770-516-3591 extension 47 - during normal business
hours). If it is determined that an item/s can be returned the item/s
may be subject to a 15% restock fee as determined on a case by case
basis.
Outside of 30 days from the order date, items are not returnable. Shipping
charges
are
never
returnable.
Please insure that the item you order is compatible with your existing
equipment. We normally do not accept returns solely because of incompatibility.
If you run into this situation, write us at
and explain the situation. Printer sound enclosures are not returnable
as these are custom-made units just for you.
Defective Items:
Defective items purchased within 30 days
from the order date are returnable for replacement. In this
situation, call the manufacturer for technical support first and if
they recommend replacement, write us
for an RMA number and instructions being sure to tell us who you talked
to at tech support and what their recommended solution was. Do
NOT send the item back without this RMA number as it will be rejected.
Write this RMA number on a label that is attached to the box. Do
NOT write on the box or you will incur a restock fee!
Due to the amount of fraud we have experienced,
no returns for credit on printheads will be accepted. Within 30 days
from order date, printheads can be returned for replacement only.
You are responsible for paying for return
shipping unless the problem was our fault in which case we will refund
your ground UPS/USPS shipping expense to have the item shipped back
to us - again, that must be by UPS or USPS ground only. Examples of
errors that we are responsible for would be if we doubled shipped
your item or sent you the wrong item. DOA or defective merchandise
is not our fault as we are not the manufacturer - we are a reseller.
You pay return shipping on DOA or defective items.
RMA numbers are valid for 10 days so
once you get the RMA number, ship the item immediately.
Defective items purchased outside of
30 days from the order date are warranted by the manufacturer and
you will need to contact them directly to get your item repaired or
replaced. No vendor will accept returns for credit or refund beyond
30 days.
Refused shipments are subject to a restocking
fee of 15% plus all shipping and handling expenses.
Risk of Loss:
Title to items being purchased passes
from CompuDirect to purchaser at the time of shipping. Customer
takes on full liability for safety and validity of delivery address
given to us at the time of purchase.
CompuDirect will not incur any forwarding costs on shipments. CompuDirect shall
not be responsible for damages or delays resulting from Acts of
God, war, riot, seizure, terrorist activities, embargo, or other
acts or events nothing within the reasonable control of CompuDirect.
Website Errors:
Despite our efforts to ensure that the
information on our website is accurate, complete and current, there
may be times when information about a product contains inaccurate
or incomplete data, including data about the product's price.
CompuDirect makes no warranty or guarantee that the information
on our website is error-free, complete, or current. We reserve the
right to correct errors and/or update the content, including the
price, on our website at any time without notice. We also reserve
the right to
refuse
or cancel any order containing any error or inaccuracy, including
after the order has been submitted, whether or not the order has
been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your order is canceled
after your payment has been processed, we will issue a full refund
to the original pay type.
Order Processing Fee for Chargebacks:
If you do a credit card chargeback and
if that chargeback is reversed (money put back in our account), your
credit card will be billed an order processing fee of $75 per chargeback
incident!
What this means to you, is that if you have a problem, don't do a chargeback,
call us instead. For instance, if you see a charge on your credit card
bill from CompuDirect Holding Company, Inc. for xxx dollars and you don't remember
that you bought any items from us during that month, you should call
us and ask, not just do a chargeback.
This policy will not affect 99.9% of our customers as most people are
good and reasonable people. It is simply meant to help us defray the
high costs of erroneous chargebacks.
Please know that we are human too - We
want to help with any problems you may have! Write or call us!
If you have questions before placing
your order, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page
of the site on which you wish to order. You can submit a question,
from there, if it isn't already answered.
Application for Credit / Terms Accounts
|
As a customer convenience, CompuDirect does
extend credit to certain Fortune 1000 companies. This is intended
to help our high volume customers place recurring orders quickly and
conveniently.
All "Terms" accounts are Net 10 from the
date of purchase not from the date of product receipt. You will be
presented with your invoice when ordering - please print it and start
the payment process immediately. Another copy of your invoice will
be e-mailed to you within minutes of order completion - please save
that copy for future use.
To download a credit application, click
here. The file is an Adobe PDF file. Please note that not all
sections of the credit application are required - complete the parts
that are applicable.
Due to the extreme processing requirements
of international shipping, we do not currently ship to international
locations.
We can and
do ship to US shipping companies that will forward your
item(s) on to you. This is called freight forwarding. You must
arrange this. All orders must be in US Dollars. Contact
us with any questions at
Our bank charges us $35 for wire
transfers. If your order is under $1000 we are forced to add that
fee to your order. We make no money on this. If we were charging
a higher margin, we could afford to pay this ourselves but at the
tiny margin we operate at, we simply can not afford to pay this fee.
For orders over $1000, we pay the $35 bank fee.
All credit card information is hand-verified
with the issuing bank before items are shipped. None of your
information is ever released to anyone - it's used solely for the
purpose stated.

system we have in place, please click on the "Certified by Thawte" icon,

If you are a Credit Card criminal, we
WILL catch you and we WILL prosecute you!
