Printer Friendly Version Of Warranty Return Form
All Returns must be authorised. A warranty return form is provided in PDF
format at the bottom of this page.
Please contact a sales representative for a Return Goods Authorisation Number
(RGA#). Goods returned without authorisation number may not be accepted & may
be returned to the sender at the senders cost.
After authorisation, goods must only be returned by our nominated mode of
transport or at the customers cost. Freight will not be paid for goods returned
by means other than as above.
Warranty Eligibility
Due to the high cost of labour & equipment used for checking warranty
eligibility a $10.00 surcharge will be charged for goods returned as faulty yet
found to be in good working order. All tests conducted by MI on goods returned
are to internationally recognised standards. Testing procedures outside of these
standards conducted by the returnee of goods will not be recognised as the goods
being faulty. Goods found to be not covered by warranty will be returned with
this surcharge & at the customers cost. Goods found to be warrantable may be
credited or replaced at the customer's request.
Upon returning goods we require that a letter containing as comprehensive as
possible advice is given as to the nature of the suspected fault of the product
accompanies returned goods. When returning goods please include a copy of the
invoice noting when the goods were received. Please circle the returned item/s
& write a quantity. Please address all such returns to the Returned Goods
Department as follows:

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
