note: before you sending your goods for repair - please read:

How to act in case of damage

Please first of all contact us at info@audiovalve.info. Maybe we can help you without having to send the goods back.

If a repairing and a sending back should still be necessary FedEx offers a  "Repair and Return Procedure". For starting the Repair and Return Procdure please attach a proforma invoice when sending the goods back to us and make sure that it is stated on the proforma invoice, on the FedEx Air Way bill and on all other documents that this shipment is a repairing and that it has to be handled as a Repair and Return Procedure.

It has to be clear that this shipment is just a temporary export from the USA and a temporary import to Germany and that the goods are going to be sent back to you after repairing. This is very important because we can not correct mistakes afterwards. If this is not stated, the duty has to be paid once again, from our side when importing the goods to Germany, but also from your side when sending the goods back to your country.

Please also take care that the value of the goods is correct, on the proforma invoice as well as on the air way bill. The value of the goods has to be the same as the amount insured. In every case of damage, repairing or warranty you have to confer with us which value has to be taken before filling out the documents and the Air way bill! This is very important, please do not use any value that you think is correct.

If you forget to state all  these informations, the duty and the forwarder both handle the delivery as a normal sale from the USA to us and not as a Repair and Return Procedure and it will cost a lot of money for our company as well as for you, the customer. 

If you have any further questions to this Procedure don’t hesitate to contact us. You can contact FedEx in your country, too.
