Damaged or Lost Shipment

Shipping on our UPS account - Report all damaged or lost shipments to education@phidgets.com and include your order number. According to UPS, in order to be considered lost, a package must be undelivered 24 hours after the expected delivery date and time. Before contacting us, check your shipment status at ups.ca.

Damaged or lost items will be replaced at no charge (including shipping costs).

Shipping on your UPS account - You must notify your local UPS office. If they confirm that they have lost your shipment, you must repurchase the lost or damaged products from Phidgets and file a claim with your local UPS in order to get reimbursed.

Refused/Missed Delivery

If no one is available to accept the package upon delivery, UPS will attempt redelivery two more times, as per their standard procedure. If all delivery attempts fail, UPS will hold the package for 5 days before returning it to us. In such cases, we will issue a refund for your order minus the cost of shipping (both directions) and a flat $50 fee, up to the total value of the package. This policy applies both to deliveries that failed due to no one being present and to packages that were refused at the delivery address.

Product Returns

All Returns Must Be Authorized by Phidgets Education

Before returning a package contact us and ask for a Return Merchandise Authorization or RMA number. Once you have received it, put the RMA number on the outside of the packaging as well as the packing slip so that it is possible for us to track what the package is supposed to be. Any merchandise returned without an RMA number clearly visible on the packaging will be charged an administrative fee of $25.00 or the value of the returned product, whichever is less if we are able to determine what it is. In the event we are unable to determine what the package is, it will be refused and returned to the sender.

Unopened Product

Phidgets Education accepts returns of unopened products within 30 days of the date of purchase. To initiate a return, please contact us by phone or email to obtain an RMA number. Products must be shipped back to Phidgets Education prepaid. A refund will be issued to your credit card once we receive and inspect the returned items. Returns received after 30 days are subject to a restocking fee of 25% of the package's value (minimum $5.00, maximum $500). We do not accept returns beyond 90 days from the date of purchase.
