As you may have noticed when building your PC, AVADirect proudly offers multiple warranty tiers in our configurators, depending on the type of custom computer you have selected.
For laptops, warranties are typically limited to whatever tiers the manufacturer of the laptop offers. Usually it is one, maybe two tiers of warranty coverage ranging from a 1-year parts/labor warranty to a 3-year parts/labor warranty. More information for those can be found by clicking the “I” icon next to the warranty on the individual products configurator. As for desktop computers, please see our wide selection of warranty options below!
Definitions of some of AVADirect Custom Computer’s warranty terminology:
Labor:
Hourly rate for work conducted on the computer
Parts:
This refers to how long your warranty will cover the cost of components in need of replacement.
Shipping:
This refers to the cost of shipping the system to AVADirect when warranty work is needed. Note: for systems where shipping is covered, all the original packing materials are required for us to cover the shipment.
Return Shipping:
This refers to the cost of shipping the system back to you after your repair is completed. By default, the shipping cost on systems repaired under warranty is covered by AVADirect unless the system is shipping overseas, to Hawaii, Alaska, any offshore US territories, was repaired out of warranty, was shipped using an expedited shipping method per customer request, or it is a special system that requires special handling by a carrier or carrier affiliated services.
Advanced Replacement:
This is a service that is offered on some of our higher tier warranties. In the event a part needs to be replaced and our feel up to replacing it yourself to save some time, we can ship you the new part first. This decreases the lead time as you do not need to send us the bad part first like with a standard replacement. Most replacement times with this method are 3-7 days rather than 7-10 like with the standard method. Both of those times can vary depending on the availability of the part.
Technical Support:
Technical support refers to the post sale technical assistance offered by our support staff. If you receive your custom PC and you are unsure of the setup process, discover parts that have failed, have an issue that needs to be diagnosed, or just have questions about your computer and its capabilities, our support staff can assist. All parts that are installed or modified after the initial receipt of the system are not eligible for support, unless installed by AVADirect during a warranty procedure or upgrade procedure
