All returned packages will be thoroughly inspected in accordance with our published INSPECTION CRITERIA, and a determination will be made if eligibility requirements are met for credit, replacement, exchange or repair. Please be sure to follow these guidelines to avoid any delay or denial of processing your return. Returns processing may take up to 5 business days from the time your return is received.

Returning a DEFECTIVE ITEM
Unless otherwise specified, we gladly accept DEFECTIVE EXCHANGES on products within 7 days of original invoice date. Digital Star shall have sole discretion as to the credit method. We may issue a credit, ship a replacement product, exchange or we may repair the item and return it to you.

Manufacturer Restrictions
Some manufacturers have implemented returns restrictions that prevent Digital Star from being able to accept returns or offer exchanges, replacements or credits on their products. Products from manufacturers such as Compaq, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Toshiba, Epson and others are not returnable to Digital Star FOR ANY REASON. All support as well as exchanges or replacements for DEFECTIVE merchandise, including within the first 7 days of ownership, must be handled directly with the product manufacturer. Digital Star cannot accept any returns nor offer replacement, exchanges or credit for ANY product missing the UPC code. Only the product manufacturer can replace any DEFECTIVE item missing the UPC sticker.

Non-Defective Returns
Returns of NON-DEFECTIVE items that are returnable by Digital Star to product manufacturers may, at Digital Star's sole discretion, be accepted for return. NON-DEFECTIVE RETURNS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A 20% RE-STOCKING FEE and such returns will be for store credit or refund at Digital Star's sole discretion within 7 days of original invoice date.

Software And Consumables
SOFTWARE AND CONSUMABLES (TONER CARTRIDGES, INK CARTRIDGES AND DIGITAL MEDIA) ARE NOT RETURNABLE.

Rebates
Products offering mail-in-rebates are non-returnable to Digital Star once the rebates have been filed for. Be sure that the product is working and that you intend to keep the product before filing for rebates. Products missing UPC codes from the box are also NOT returnable and will be REJECTED or subject to a restocking fee. If you have any questions please call us at Digital Star BEFORE removing the UPC code from your product.
