Coffee Machine Repair Service
Disclaimer
In the rare occurrence your coffee machine is deemed unrepairable by our technicians, a fee of $175 will be charged for labor, packaging and return shipping costs, which must be paid before the coffee machine is returned. The coffee machine will be returned in the same condition it arrived at our facility. However, if you wish to scrap your coffee machine, a full refund will be issued, as well as, a maximum buyout credit. This is an extenuating circumstance that occurs when: I. The machine arrives severely damaged due to misuse or improper packaging. II. Parts required for the repair are no longer available from the manufacturer, most often boilers and electronic boards. III. Our technicians deem the repair cost exceeds the true market value of the machine. The age of the machine, present/future part availability and our technician's evaluation of the key heating elements are all factors we use to determine the value.
Please follow our packaging instructions. We do not insure inbound shipments; it is up to the client to properly secure his/her coffee machine with enough packing materials to make for safe transit. Our shipping department ensures that all machines leaving our facility are packaged within the guidelines set forth by FedEx. Please read this entire page before shipping your machine to our facility. Completing a repair appointment request form implies that you have read and agreed to all terms and conditions and that you authorize FIRGUN to refurbish your coffee machine(s).
Packaging Instructions
It is imperative to properly package your machine. FIRGUN will not insure in-bound machines, as we cannot ensure the machine is properly packaged. It is the customer's responsibility to purchase insurance, if desired. In the event the coffee machine is damaged in shipment, it is the customer's responsibility to file a claim with FedEx/UPS to be compensated for any damages. FIRGUN will aid in the process of the claim by providing pictures of the box, damages the machine sustained and any additional documentation needed to file the claim; however, FIRGUN will not share in the expense of the damages in the form of credit, compensation or any expense incurred during the claim process.
FedEx/UPS will package your coffee machine for a fee at a branch location. You must provide the representative with these packing instructions to absolve yourself of any liability.
1. Use a 18x18x18 or 20x20x20 Heavy Duty or Certified Double Walled Box. A Singled Walled Box is not sufficient. DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL BOX.
2. Tape all seams of the bottom of the box: 3 pieces of tape sealing the center; 1 piece of tape across the top of each side seam; 1 piece of tape along the edge of each side seam.
3. Place a layer of packing peanuts on the bottom of the box.
4. Place a layer of bubble wrap over top the packing peanuts at the bottom of the box.
5. Wrap the entire machine with bubble wrap. Removing the drip tray and wrapping it separately may make this part easier.
6. Place machine in the center of the box, making sure it is not contacting any of the box walls.
7. "Make a box, inside the box": Roll up bubble wrap into "pillars." Place these "pillars" upright on all 4 corners of the box. This will help stabilize the machine in the center of the box.
8. Use "filler" (i.e. packing peanuts) to further stabilize the machine in the center of the box. Stuff the packing peanuts down in between the machine and box walls to create a buffer zone.
9. Tape all seams of the bottom of the box: 3 pieces of tape sealing the center; 1 piece of tape across the top of each side seam; 1 piece of tape along the edge of each side seam.
10. Place printed FedEx/UPS label on box.
Payment Options
You may send a check for the total amount with your machine.
The check must be issued to FIRGUN. The check will be deposited before the refurbishing service begins. We will hold the machine until the payment clears. The time of clearance varies, depending on bank and account type. If the check bounces, the customer will be responsible for all fees associated with the failed transaction, in addition to the total repair cost, prior to the machine being released. Note: This method ensures the quickest turnaround time.
You may pay with a credit card via a secure electronic invoice.
There is an additional $20 nonrefundable transaction fee for using a credit card. The customer will receive an electronic invoice via email to the address provided on the repair form. The invoice will be issued when the machine is entering the final 24 hour bench test. Customers who choose this method may experience a slightly extended turnaround time.
