RMA Forms & Instructions

1. Only units under warranty or on a Hardware Service Agreement will be issued an RMA Number unless agreed to by Mobile Knowledge.
2. All returns require an RMA number (NO UNAUTHORIZED SHIPMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED).
3. An RMA shipment received without an RMA Request Form and an RMA number clearly visible on the outside of the package can be refused.
4. The package has to be properly packed to protect against damage in shipment. RMA goods with any damage caused by careless packing during transit WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  If uncertain contact MKC for further instructions.
5. Any charge incurred by Mobile Knowledge outside of the standard return shipping process will be charged back to the customer for incorrect documentation, wrong paperwork etc.

Benefits of this Approach

• Custom delay will be minimized and equipment arrives at Repair centre on time.
• No additional charges are incurred due to improper packaging or improper paperwork.
• Customers do not experience extended MDT repair turnaround times due to shipping.
