Warranty Return Request Form
Additional Warranty Terms & Conditions
- Any and all warranties provided by hungryPC are strictly return-to-base. The person making a warranty claim is required to return the item to our premises at their own cost including shipping and handling charges. These costs are non-refundable. This is much the same as having to pay your petrol to drive back to a retail store for a return.
- A tracked courier service must be used for any return to us and the package must state the return request number (RMA Number) provided by us. Any unauthorized returns or packages missing this reference number will be declined and shipped back at the owner’s expense.
- Notification to us and any subsequent return of any equipment with fault/s must be made as soon as possible and within the warranty period. Notification to us for claims of “dead on arrival” or damaged items must be made within 24 hours of delivery and returned to us with the same promptness.
- Any damage potentially made by couriers must be claimed through the courier company used and their terms will apply. Any claim for a missing item must be lodged within 14 working days and any claim for a damaged item must be lodged within 7 working days of delivery. Any claim made outside these timeframes will be rejected as these timeframes are provided to us by the courier companies we use.
- Product must be returned in the same condition it was shipped in, and ideally using the same packaging, if this is not available similar quality packaging must be used.
- Where our offer to repair or replace the product is rejected for any reason, any refund provided is subject to a 15% handling and/or restocking fee.
- Any return not covered under this warranty for any of the reasons mentioned on this page or in our Terms and Conditions will be liable for return courier charges and an inspection and testing fee of $49. If these are unpaid for a period of 3 months, the return will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of.
- The remedy provided by way of repair, replacement or refund of the product represents the sole and exclusive claim that can be made against hungryPC. The purchase price of the individual product claimed under this warranty represents the maximum liability of hungryPC. This is in lieu of any other warranty, express or implied.
- Whilst we have taken all due care in providing the information on our website, we do not provide any warranty either express or implied including without limitation warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. No warranties are made for accuracy or completeness of materials and descriptions contained on our website or other publication. hungryPC may make changes to this material or to the products and prices described in it at any time, without notice.

- All sales are final. We do not accept any return if you have simply changed your mind or decide you no longer want the product you have purchased for any reason.
- To protect the integrity of our machines in their tested configuration, our warranty can only apply to the machine as it was supplied by us to you. Therefore only a hungryPC authorized technician may break warranty seals and/or perform work physically inside of, or on any internal components of a machine supplied by us. Unless previously agreed in writing, any technical or upgrade work carried out by an unauthorized party will void any warranty on our machines.
- COVID-19: Due to COVID pandemic, any warranty claim may be significantly delayed due to factors outside of our control, for example, replacement part availability, courier delays, and limitations. We will endeavour to make everything run smoothly as per usual, although any delay outside of our control may mean warranty repair work cannot be undertaken until any lockdown has been lifted, or may take longer than usual. Due to supply chain interruptions some parts required can often be delayed by 4 to 8 weeks, while we do everything we can to reduce the time you are without your equipment, we cannot guarantee or be liable for any turnaround and/or timeframe in repairs due to these interruptions and appreciate your patience during this time.
