RETURNED MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION
Prior to returning any equipment to EdgeTech, a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number must be
obtained. The RMA will help identify returned equipment when it arrives at our receiving dock and enables
tracking of the equipment while at our facility. The material should be shipped to
EdgeTech, 4 Little Brook
Road, West Wareham, MA 02576 . Refer to the RMA number on all documents and correspondences.
All returned materials must be shipped prepaid. Freight collect shipments will not be accepted. EdgeTech
will pay freight charges on materials going back to the customer after they have been evaluated and/or
repaired. If the equipment is the property of EdgeTech, please insure for full value.
All shipments must be accompanied by three copies of your proforma invoice, with the value of the
material, and the reason for return. If the reason is for repair, it must be clearly stated in order to move
through customs quickly and without duties being charged. Whenever possible, please send copies of
original export shipping documents with the consignment. Fax one invoice, packing list, and a copy of the
airway bill to EdgeTech upon shipment to EdgeTech’s Main Office
Fax: 1-508-291-2491 .
If there is more than one item per consignment, a packing list must accompany the shipment, which can
be combined with the proforma invoice and packing list if the contents of each carton are clearly
numbered and identified on the invoice.
