Restocking Fee
There is a restocking fee of 15% on all returns for refund, unless waived by one of our Customer Support Reps. Orbit Micro is not responsible for non-Orbit Micro manufacturer defects. We are willing to repair/replace a defective item. If a refund is requested instead of a replacement we will charge a 15% restocking fee. Why? Claiming "defect" is the easy way out of a restocking fee just because the item is no longer wanted. If it's defective we will repair/replace it.
Unauthorized Returns
Unauthorized returns will be refused immediately upon arrival, and the customer will be charged for the return shipping cost.
