Office Furniture Returns
Furniture may not be returned. Deffective furniture will be repaired/replaced with the support of the manufacturers warranty procedure in a timely fashion. Please contact staff immediately for assistance with any deffective furniture item purchased. Many of our furniture suppliers offer limited lifetime warranties that may cover replacement of product only but do not cover chargeable shipping and processing fees associated with warranty service (staff will review service fees at time of claim).
Office Machines and Technology Products Returns
Most consumer office machines come with a one year warranty, this manufacturers warranty is extended by the manufacturer and does not implicate Schelters to provide exchange/repair or replacement of the equipment. As such all Office Machines are not returnable if packaging has been opened or product has been used. Staff can assist you in having your machine serviced during your warranty period. Extended warranties are available on many office machines. Of particular concern, issues of hygene must be considered in the return of any item that touches human skin or is in direct contact with the individual using it. Items such as mice, keyboards, head sets, ear and microphones and telephones require considerable contact with the user...as such these items may not be returned due to hybenic concerns.
