Once used items are not returnable.  

Specific to Key Machines: once a key is cut, key machines not returnable for a full refund.  A restocking charge will apply.  The restocking charge will be determined according to the condition of the machine which cannot be determined until after the machine is inspected by our staff.  A typical restocking charge is 15-30% depending on condition of the machine.  It can be higher if parts and accessories are missing.  Please contact customer service to discuss your situation.  If you are upgrading to better machine, we normally are able to wave the restocking charge, depending on the condition of the machine.  In addition using a key machine connected to a power source other then a power source listed in the Manufacturer Specifications will void the warrant.  We offer machines with (3) specified power inputs. (1) 110V-120VAC/60Hz, (2) 220V-240VAC/50Hz, and (3) 12VDC.  Chose the one that is approprate for your country.  Example, if you connect one of our 110V-120VAC/60Hz (Standard for North America) machines to power in Jamacia which supplies power 110VAC/50Hz, you will assume the risk of doing so as the manufacturer will not honor the warranty because the power source is outside the listed specifications.

Contact Customer Service for RMA number before making returns.  Books, Videos, CD-Rom's, and DVD's are not returnable unless defective.  If you paid via credit card it should take 1-4 weeks from the time we process your refund to the time your bank applies the credit back to your account. We wish this time was shorter, but have no control over this.
