Repairs

Which items can be repaired?

If your item appears to be defective more than 30 days after purchase, it might be eligible for the repair service. If your item is eligible for repair, you'll be offered this as an option after contacting 3D Printing Canada customer service. You'll be able to send or drop off the item directly to 3DPC for repair.

Note: It's very important that you back up any files and remove any sensitive information before sending an item for repair. 3D Printing Canada may not be able to repair your device and may have to replace components including components that may have information stored on them. You may also want to erase your saved personal information from the item.

In order to repair and return your item to you, 3D Printing Canada will need your contact and order details.

How long will the repair take?

When you send or drop off your item for repair, you'll receive a confirmation email once they receive it. The item will be inspected and the issue will be diagnosed. If the defect is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, the item will be repaired per the manufacturer’s policy.

We strive to make repairs within 7-10 business days (including delivery time), but sometimes could take slightly longer depending on availability of technicians and parts.

How much will the repair cost?

Depending on the manufacturer, you may be required to pay for shipping to 3D Printing Canada for repair and the cost of returning the repaired printer back to you.

Also depending on the manufacturer and its warranty policy, the cost of the repair itself may be free of charge.

NOTE: The vast majority of Chinese vendors do not reimburse the cost of repairs but will replace components. In these cases, 3D Printing Canada will charge you for the repair time at our billable rate.

If the problem isn't covered by the manufacturer's warranty, or if the warranty has been voided (for example if the item has been damaged in any way), you'll be contacted by the repairer with a repair estimate. You can decide whether to ask the repairer to proceed with the repair at an additional cost, you can choose to have the item returned to you with a shipping charge.

What is the repair status of my item?

You can check the status of your repair by following the instructions in the repair confirmation email you receive, once one business day has passed since the creation of your label.
