RETURN POLICY

ANY ORDER PLACED WITH Graphic Overstock IMPLIES CONSENT TO ABIDE BY Graphic Overstock POLICIES.

The customer has 30 days, starting from the date product is received, to initiate a return. After 30 days items are no longer eligible for return. 

Standard returns include a restocking fee:

  • Equipment: 25%
  • Unopened/unused Vinyl, Tape or Other Consumable: 20%

If an item arrives in an unusable condition, the customer has 30 days to report any damage or defects from the date they received the product. Graphic Overstock reserves the right to request proof in the form of pictures, samples to prove defects, and to send replacement parts for items under warranty.

ALL RETURNS MUST BE AUTHORIZED BY Graphic Overstock BEFORE ANY PRODUCT IS SHIPPED BACK. Return requests may take up to 2 business days to process. Once approved, the customer will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. This RMA will expire 30 days from the date it is issued. If the RMA expires before the requested products are shipped, the return may be denied or only valid for Graphic Overstock store credit. If an item is sent back without approval or an approved RMA, the return may not be processed. The customer will be responsible for any shipping costs to have the item returned to them. Unauthorized returns not recovered within 10 days from Graphic Overstock contacting the customer will be disposed.

PLEASE TAKE PICTURES AND DOCUMENT CONDITION OF ITEMS PLANNED FOR RETURN. Returning an item for refund or exchange implies the item will be received by Graphic Overstock in a re-sellable or repairable state, unless previously determined to be a manufacturing defect. The item must be returned in its original packaging and machine returns must include all accessories. If a machine is returned without the original packaging and accessories, the customer will be charged an additional fee to cover additional labor required and the purchase of replacement accessories and packaging. Incorrect items returned for machine exchanges will result in penalties, which may include fees and/or Graphic Overstock account suspension. Please see the Return Shipping Labels & Other Fees section below for more details on fees.

Damage to machine due to abuse, accident, misuse, neglect, ordinary wear, out-of-scope modification, power surge, failure to follow directions, improper care/maintenance, or act of nature are not covered by warranty. Units returned under the guise of warranty coverage that have out of warranty damage will be held by Graphic Overstock to be returned at customer cost.

Graphic Overstock is not liable to any claims or lawsuits asserted against our customers, or any claims or lawsuits related to the unlawful or fraudulent use of our product.

Products with a warranty will have their warranty period listed on the Graphic Overstock.com product page. Items without warranty will have no listed time. Reference individual equipment product pages for warranty periods on specific items when Bundles/Kits have more than one machine. The warranty period begins from the day the item is received. Additional warranty time can be purchased for select machines, call for availability. (Extended warranty must be purchased during initial warranty period and extends from date original warranty ends.)

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO MATCH THE LISTED PERIOD ON EQUIPMENT PRODUCT PAGE (AT TIME OF PURCHASE) STARTING FROM DATE THAT ORIGINAL ITEM WAS RECEIVED.

If there are problems with a product under warranty, contact Graphic Overstock Support by clicking on this link. Graphic Overstock reserves the right to send replacement parts for any equipment being covered under warranty, instead of replacing the machine outright. Graphic Overstock will ship these parts via ground shipping with no cost to the customer, as long as the shipping address is within the United States. Full support will be given by Graphic Overstock if any replacement parts have been sent.

If Graphic Overstock determines that the equipment is unrepairable, then an RMA number will be assigned. The customer will then be authorized to return the equipment for a replacement. Any equipment older than 30 days may be replaced with a certified refurbished unit at our discretion. Machines still within warranty period that have been discontinued or aged out will be replaced by Graphic Overstock with an alternative, but equivalent, unit.

Troubleshooting with Graphic Overstock Support is required to receive replacement parts or machine exchanges covered by warranty.
