People say about our repairs:
 

Our Repair Policies

• BACKLINE charges a minimum 20-minute charge for all repairs including No Fault Found UNLESS your item is unrepairable.

• Items left 14 days after completion of repair are subject to a daily storage fee.
  Items left 60 days after completion of repair become property of BACKLINE.

• Repairs to electronic equipment can result in loss of saved data. BACKLINE is not responsible for data lost during a repair. PLEASE ensure your data (patches, presets, recorded tracks/songs, etc.) are BACKED UP BEFORE bringing your gear in for repair.

• BACKLINE reserves the right to refuse any non-warranty repair.

• BACKLINE does not return defective, worn-out or unsafe parts (tubes, switches, transformers, etc.) that are replaced during repair UNLESS, when the item is dropped off at BACKLINE, the customer specifically asks to have them back. (We discard bad parts so that they won't ever be accidentally re-used and damage your equipment.)

• Contact us if you plan to ship items internationally, as we usually do not accept repairs from outside Canada.

Estimates

• Estimates are by request only.  If an estimate is not requested, we'll complete your repair and call you when the item is ready for pick-up.

• An estimate surcharge of $10 applies when BACKLINE contacts a customer with an estimate. Here's why.
(To possibly avoid this fee, and to speed a repair up, you can say "call me only if the repair will be over $--- [maximum "budget" for the repair], otherwise proceed with the repair.")

• A diagnostic fee of 0.5h - 1h labour applies if an estimate is declined.

• BACKLINE cannot provide estimates by phone or email, as we need to see your gear to produce an accurate diagnosis.

• Estimates, by their very nature, are not exact. Your final repair cost may be more or less than estimated, within reason.


Repairs Under Manufacturer's Warranty

• All warranty repairs require a valid bill of sale, showing when and where the item was purchased, before work will be undertaken.

• Most items bought from sellers located outside of Canada (whether from a store or an online retailer) are not eligible for warranty service in Canada. If you're not sure about the warranty status of your item, call us to verify.

• Warranty repairs must be shipped in the original manufacturer's packing. Warranty repairs not shipped in the original manufacturer's packaging may be refused on arrival at BACKLINE, or charged a handling fee (see our shipping policies for more information).

• In most cases, manufacturer's warranty will be voided if the item is disassembled or partial disassembled by anyone other than a technician at an authorized service centre. For this reason, items being shipped or brought to BACKLINE for warranty repair must remain completely assembled.

• Many, but not all, manufacturers will cover the cost of shipping a warrantied item back to the customer. If you are not sure if your item qualifies for no-charge return shipping, call us to verify.

• BACKLINE cannot offer rush service on warranty repairs.
