Q. Is there a warranty on Iso-Tip products?
A. Yes. Iso-Tip offers a one-year limited warranty on our products. If your Iso-Tip tool fails to operate satisfactorily within one year from the date of the original purchase or receipt as a gift, Iso-Tip will, at our option, repair or replace the tool and return it to you.
i
Q. At Iso-Tip’s option?
A. Yes.
i
Q. But I don’t have my original receipt or a gift receipt. Is that going to be a problem?
A. Maybe.
i
Q. Why?
A. Because we need some sort of proof that the tool you’re wanting to return is actually under warranty.
i
Q. But isn’t there a date code on the product?
A. There is, but most likely the product was manufactured months before you bought it. If we have to base the warranty on the product’s date code, odds are the warranty will have run out.
i
Q. So what do I do now?
A. Do you remember where you bought the tool? Try returning it to them first.
i
Q. How do I return a product to you?
A. By following these five steps:
  1. Call (715) 831-6353 to receive an authorization code.
    (If your product is out of warranty, Iso-Tip will need to obtain repair or replacement payment at this time. No payment information is necessary for products under warranty.)
  2. Write a note describing the defect.
  3. Attach the original receipt or gift receipt to the note.
  4. Write your authorization code on the note.
  5. Mail tool, charger (if applicable) and note to: Iso-Tip, ATTN: Returns, 704 Bartlett Avenue, Altoona, WI 54720. (You are finacially responsible for shipping the defective product to Iso-Tip.

Q. What if I just send you a return without talking to someone at Iso-Tip first?
A. Don’t. We’ll ignore it.
i
Q. But I’ve included a nice note.
A. That’s sweet. But you really should have called first.
i
Q. It’s handwritten…
A. Yes…very impressive…
i

A. No. You should have called first.

Q. How are returned tools out of warranty dealt with?
