RMA rejected - IMEI/ID/SERIAL not from us.

If we can’t find the IMEI/ID/SERIAL in our system, we cannot accept this device back since it may not be from us. We always use the IMEI/SERIAL from the motherboard by looking in the device settings menu or by using software. In case of dual sim device, you can also try sending us the other IMEI. An option that works 100% of the time is scanning the QR code on our sticker and sending us that – this is our internal ID.

You can always check the warranty checker before sending devices to us to see if our system deems the devices as returnable: https://foxway.shop/warranty-checker 


RMA rejected – device in cloud lock.

All devices we sell are unlocked from iCloud and Google account unless stated otherwise on the PI. When an RMA is claimed, then in almost all cases devices with Cloud lock are so because your customer hasn’t removed their account before returning the device to you. Unless you can get your customer to unlock it remotely, then unfortunately we have no other option then to return the device to you. Therefore, in all cases you should make sure all cloud accounts are removed before sending the device back to us.


RMA rejected – RTC (return to customer).

When a device is returned to us but does meet our grading criteria, we will return the device back to you. In cases where the fault is difficult to find, then it’s best to describe how we can replicate the fault in as much detail as possible.

Please open a ticket with all available information about the missing, lost or stolen package. Make sure to provide all the information on the package that you have.


Can I return singular units from certain RMA forms which include multiple devices?

Devices must be returned in batches, meaning that each RMA number corresponds to a certain RMA batch (declaration form). Units that have already been processed and have an RMA order/number must be re-declared and will not be accepted without positive validation results.


How long does it take to receive a Credit Note?

Credit notes are automatically provided to the customer’s billing e-mail address within 2 business days after closing a return order.


I received a credit note, but the refund amount is still not available in my bank account

In case if there are no technical problems, the credit amount will remain on your account’s balance with us by default – most of our partners prefer to use the credit for their newer orders, either partially or fully, depending on the credited amount. If you wish to receive the credited amount to your bank account, then you must let us know.


What to do if I received a damaged device, but the package is intact and has no punctures?

In this case, the physical damage must be immediately reported to your account manager in order to prove that the damages didn't occur after receipt during the device's usage. In addition, it must be also properly reported in the RMA form.

Edit: Please also note that any faults or damages that are not documented on the given RMA form will not be covered by warranty.


Should I fill out multiple RMA forms in case if I have devices from different invoices?

No, all the units should be reported under singular RMA form.


I cannot retrieve the serial number/IMEI of the returnable device

Please make sure to provide an invoice number in the RMA form, and if possible, please check if the IMEI/SN is available on a strategic location within the device. (Information about the location is available on web). Third option is to scan our QR sticker and give us that code – this is our ID.


Can I get a return label for my RMA package?

Unfortunately not. The Buyer is responsible for the cost and delivery back to Foxway OÜ. Foxway OÜ is responsible for transport and covering costs when shipping devices back to the buyer.


Where can I get the returns department shipping details?

Available in the RMA form, below the declaration table.

“How should I add units to an already validated RMA batch? (I already received a RMA number)” - if you would like to update an already validated RMA form, please use the same validated RMA form as the basis for updates. All devices which are reported/sent as a batch, should be documented under one singular RMA form.

My Intel processor machine is overheating.

Intel processors (especially i7, i9 and Xeon series) are more prone to overheating, in which case changing thermal paste may sometimes help. If the device is a laptop, make sure the ventilation has adequate air intake and the device isn't used on a soft surface, for example on a blanket or pillow.


Why does my new Mac show a battery replacement message after just a few weeks?

When purchasing a Mac laptop with a battery rated for 500+ cycles, there's a chance it may show this message starting from a few weeks due to the logic behind how Apple has configured these notifications.

These device error messages do not fall under RMA cases.


My computer won’t turn on

Allow the computer to charge for 15-30 minutes as the battery may be empty upon arrival. Additionally check if charging indicators are activated (typically right next to the charging socket). If this does not help, check the charger and try using another charger with the same wattage or higher.

In case of a device with Type-C charging, make sure you’re using the correct port as some manufacturers have a designated charging socket which needs to be used, typically the top socket on the left side.

When dealing with Lenovo Type-C devices, generally look for a socket or thunderbolt sign.
