Receiving and Unpacking
Your
camera was thoroughly tested and carefully packed at the factory. Once the
camera shipment is accepted for delivery, the carrier assumes full responsibility
for its safe arrival. Should you receive your shipment with any damage
—
concealed or apparent
—please contact the carrier at once. The carrier will
instruct you on how to initiate a damage claim. If a visual inspection reveals
damage upon receipt, it must be noted on the freight bill or express receipt and
the notation signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to do so can result in the carrier
refusing to honor the claim.
To return your camera to TSI for service, you must first contact your local
Thorlabs office or distributor and request a Return Material Authorization (RMA).
Returns will not be accepted without an RMA. See chapter titled “Warranty
Information” for details.
