This Return Policy only applies to products that are listed on the americantechdepot.com website or American Tech Depot mobile application (collectively, referred to as the “Site”), as “Sold and Shipped by American Tech Depot”.

Overall Return Guidelines

These are American Tech Depot's Overall Return Guidelines. All returns must meet the overall guidelines in order for the individual return policy to apply.

• All product returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
• You may request an RMA number by contacting your product specialist directly. You may also visit the Contact Page and in the body of the message include the order number and product you'd like to return. 
• Most products that are new and unopened can be returned to American Tech Depot within 30 days.
• Products that are received by American Tech Depot in any of the following conditions are not eligible for return and may be rejected:
  • Any product not purchased from American Tech Depot.
  • Any product that does not exhibit the described reason for the return (i.e., a return initiated for a non functional product that powers on and works properly upon inspection).
  • Any product with a missing, damaged, altered, or otherwise unreadable serial number label, manufacturer model or part number label, and/or warranty label.
  • Any product that is returned without all original packaging and accessories, including the retail box, manuals, cables, and all other items originally included with the product.
  • Any product from which the UPC code has been removed from its packaging.
  • Any product that exhibits physical damage. 
  • Any product for which you have submitted a mail-in rebate.
  • Any product which appears tampered, customized or altered in any way.
  • Any product that is returned with markings or writing made by the customer on the original box.

Restocking Fees and Return Shipping Costs

Returns are subject to restocking fees of 15% – 20% of the purchase price and return shipping fees. American Tech Depot may assess the restocking fee against the customer’s account or deduct the fee from the refund amount on all returns, subject to the Return Policy and any product-specific policy. American Tech Depot reserves the right to adjust the value of any item returned for refund to reflect its current market price, in which case the restocking fee will be applied after this adjustment.

For products that are eligible for return for replacement, the return shipping labels are free for returns for replacement of the same item within the applicable return policy period. American Tech Depot does NOT charge for restocking fees or return shipping labels for returns of defective products, or if you received the wrong product, the product did not match what was shown on the Site, or we made some other shipping error, provided the item is returned within its return policy period, and in accordance with the Return Policy. For returns of unopened items that are returned in the original condition as shipped within its return policy period, and in accordance with the Return Policy, American Tech Depot does NOT charge for restocking fees, but customers are responsible for any return shipping costs. In the event a product is returned that is not defective or an incorrect product or where the product does match what was shown on the Site, the product will either be returned to the customer or the return shipping cost initially covered by American Tech Depot will instead be deducted from the refund amount along with any necessary restocking fee that may apply.
