RMA Process
An EVGA Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) allows customers to return defective products to EVGA Corporation ("EVGA") for a replacement. EVGA offers many options that should satisfy the unfortunate need to replace your EVGA product under warranty as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
RMA Process and Options
- Standard RMA
- Free EVGA account membership and registration are required to contact customer service for troubleshooting and receive a support ticket for an RMA request.
- The Standard RMA is open to both original owners and second-hand owners of the product. All owners must provide a proof of purchase in the form of an invoice or receipt.
- After approval, you will be responsible for shipping the product to EVGA, following our shipping guidelines, which can be found here.
- Upon receipt of your undamaged product, EVGA will process and ship a replacement to you within 3 business days (exclusive of time in transit).
- Shipments from EVGA to you will be made via standard courier services, although you may request and pay for expedited shipping. EVGA is not responsible for delays in delivery and does not guarantee any delivery dates.
- EVGA Advanced RMA
- Free EVGA account membership and registration are required to contact customer service for troubleshooting and receive a support ticket for an RMA request.
- The EVGA Advanced RMA requires that you are the original owner of the product and can provide proof of purchase in the form of an invoice or receipt.
- After an RMA request is approved, you will be required to pay for the full replacement collateral price of your product. The cost of collateral is determined by EVGA based on the current product's MSRP price, and is charged via PayPal.
- Once the collateral price is paid, EVGA will process and ship a replacement to you within 3 business days (exclusive of time in transit).
- Due to increased fraud and current market conditions, the collateral amount includes an additional RMA service hold attached, which will be fully refunded upon the return of the original item.
- Shipments from EVGA to your address will be made via ground shipping, although you may request and pay for expedited shipping.
- After your replacement product has been processed and shipped, you will then be responsible for shipping your defective product to EVGA, following our shipping guidelines found here.
- Upon receipt of your product, without damage, EVGA will refund the collateral paid in full. In order to receive a full refund of your collateral, your original product MUST be received by EVGA within 14 days from the date EVGA shipped the replacement to your address. For the avoidance of doubt, the 14 days begins on the day the replacement is shipped by EVGA, not the day you receive the replacement.
- The complete refund process may take 7-14 business days from the date EVGA receives your product at its receiving facility. Your collateral will be refunded via PayPal. EVGA is not responsible for fluctuations in the currency exchange rate or conversion fees charged by your financial institution.
- The EVGA Advanced RMA is only valid to these regions: https://eu.evga.com/eligible-countries/.
- Recertified "RX" RMA Exception
- EVGA's RX products (-RX Part Number Suffix) follow the same warranty as the Standard RMA above, however, upon receipt of your original product, EVGA will test the original product being submitted for warranty prior to issuing a replacement. If the product is found to be defective it will be processed for a replacement within 3 business days of being received by our receiving center. If the original product is found to be functioning within factory specifications and free from defects, it will be returned and the RMA replacement will be canceled; in such event, you will be responsible for shipping costs associated with returning the product to you.
VOID Warranty Policy
Products shipped to EVGA must meet the product conditions and other terms outlined in the applicable Limited Warranty for such product. If your product is received damaged, and/or does not otherwise meet the applicable Limited Warranty terms, the product will be returned to you and you may incur a service charge. Upon receiving and inspecting the product, EVGA will contact you with information and options to assist with filing a claim, and may offer a repair fee to avoid loss of the product's warranty.
RMA Approval
Once EVGA receives your RMA request, the RMA will be reviewed by our Customer Service Department within one (1) business day. In order to approve your RMA, EVGA will need a copy of the original purchase invoice or receipt for the product you seek to replace.
