Product Warranties
Products sold on Bitmain.co.uk are generally covered by both Bitmain’s US return policy and the product manufacturer’s warranty. Details are listed under the Warranty tab on each product page.
The manufacturer warranty is listed under the Warranty section.
Backorder Cancellation/Return Policy
Orders containing both backordered and in-stock items may have the backordered items canceled at the customer’s request. Backorder cancellations and/or modifications must be requested no later than seven business days before their release date. Canceling backordered items may result in a 5% cancellation fee. Refunds, minus the cancellation fee, are issued through the original payment method.
In some circumstances, you may be charged a restocking fee when an item is returned. This includes items returned outside of Bitmain’s US return policy or items returned in a used, damaged, defective, or materially different condition. Items returned in their original condition within our policy guidelines will not incur a restocking fee. We are not required to accept returns beyond the return window; however, if we do, a restocking fee may apply.
A restocking fee is a percentage of the item’s price, depending on the type of item and its condition upon return (shipping costs are not included). Only returned items are subject to a restocking fee. The refund workflow will help calculate the restocking fee for eligible items and deduct it from the refund issued to the customer.
