Submitting Proformas over the Web

To submit a Proforma (i.e.: a "Price Quote") over the Web is very simple. All you need to do is add items to your Shopping Cart and go thru the Checkout procedure as usual, and at some point the Shopping Cart will ask you if you will be submitting an Order or a Proforma. Simply select "Proforma" along with the intended payment type and you're set. Doing so will not submit an Order to us but rather a Proforma, which will need to be reviewed by our Staff before it becomes an official P&E Proforma. Note that you are able to check the status of your Proformas at anytime by going to View Orders & Proformas Status/History under your My Account link on top of this page. If there is a bank fee associated with your proforma, please note that it will not appear on the final invoice. The final invoice contains only charges for products and shipping/handling.

Repairs & Warranty

Repairs

If you have purchased a product from P&E Micro and it is in need of repair please call us and speak with a technical support representative. Once the technical support representative establishes that a repair is necessary he/she will assign your repair a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and in most cases will be able to estimate the cost of the repair.

If the technical support representative believes that the repair is necessary because of a manufacturing defect, P&E Micro will replace or repair without charge to the customer. If the repair is necessary due to use or misuse of the product, the client is responsible for covering all costs associated with the repair. In some cases, when the product has expensive parts in need of repair, P&E may suggest replacing the old product for a new product at a discounted price.

Hardware Warranty Information

P&E tests all hardware that is shipped to end users and distributors. However, occasionally a user may receive a piece of hardware that is not working right out of the box. This may be due to damage during shipping or storage. In this instance, the customer should contact P&E and request a replacement within 30 days after purchasing the product. P&E will issue a no-cost exchange for a new item which is determined to be not working when it is shipped from P&E. P&E’s warranty does not cover damage incurred through use or misuse of the customer.

For hardware which has been damaged through use or misuse, P&E may repair damaged units for a repair fee. Any and all returns must be previously authorized and include a clearly marked RMA number, which is obtainable through the P&E support system.
