FAQ Service & Refunds Refunds Process

What Is the Overall Return Process?

At PCBPath, we aim to make the process of handling product complaints, returns, and refunds as smooth as possible. Here’s a step-by-step overview based on the flowchart below:

  1. Start Return: Initiate the return process by logging into your account and submitting a return request. Provide details about the issue (e.g., defective product or incorrect order).
  2. Upload Evidence: Submit supporting documents or photos (e.g., photos of the damaged item or proof of defect) through your account to support your claim.
  3. Approved: Once reviewed, our team will approve your return request if it meets our policy criteria. You’ll receive a confirmation via email.
  4. Awaiting Return: After approval, prepare and ship the item back to us using the provided return address. Keep your tracking number for reference.
  5. Received: We’ll notify you once your return shipment is received and inspected at our facility.
  6. Processing Refund: If the return is valid, we’ll process your refund. This step may take a few business days depending on your payment method.
  7. Refunded: Once completed, you’ll receive the refunded amount to your original payment method. You’ll get a final confirmation email.

 

Pro Tip: Start the process early and keep all documentation (e.g., tracking numbers, photos) to avoid delays, especially for time-sensitive PCB projects.

 

Important Notes:

  • Returns must be initiated within 30 days of delivery (or as per PCBPath’s return policy) and may require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

  • Shipping costs for returns are typically the customer’s responsibility unless the issue is due to our error (e.g., shipping the wrong item).
  • Refunds may take 5-10 business days to reflect in your account, depending on your bank or payment provider.
