Where
can I get Oceanic products serviced or upgraded?
An Authorized
Oceanic Dealer in your area is the best place to have your Oceanic
product serviced or upgraded. Local prices and availability may of course
vary. Pricing and availability outside of Australia may be obtained
by contacting the Authorized Oceanic Dealer, Distributor or Affiliate
that represents that area.
Goods may
also be returned directly to Oceanic Australia for service or upgrade.
Please note that Oceanic does not offer any retail sales from the
factory.
How
do I return a product to the factory in Australia?
We need
the following information enclosed with the product. To avoid delays
and errors, please print legibly or type:
We recommend
that you use an insured, trackable shipping method. We will not be responsible
for a non-trackable shipment, or if damaged from poor packaging. Freight
collect or postage due will be refused.
Do not enclose
cases, accessories or other items not related to the service. Oceanic
cannot be responsible for these items if they are not returned to you.
Do not send non-Oceanic equipment.
What
service does Oceanic perform during factory repairs?
All items
returned to Oceanic will receive the standard full factory service and
tests for that product before shipment. No partial repairs or services
are offered or available. Please, do not ask. When an Oceanic product
leaves the factory, we must be certain that it is 100%.
Regulators
returned for service will be fully overhauled, have all necessary parts
replaced and tuned to factory specifications.
Buoyancy
Compensators returned for service will only have the Inflator
Assembly and Over Pressure Valves serviced unless otherwise advised.
The BCD will then be fully inflated and checked for leaks prior to despatch.
Dive
Computers will have batteries replaced, tested and calibrated
as necessary and tested for water tight integrity prior to despatch.
At Oceanic's discretion, we may replace the product with a functionally
identical unit with a different serial number. Dive computer logs may
be erased.
Wetsuits
will be assessed upon receipt. In most cases repairs can be carried
out but we retain the right to return product if we believe that the
product is beyond repair .
For some
products that are obsolete, or if service has become too expensive,
or parts are unavailable, an UPGRADE
to a new current unit may be the only option.
Products
that are worn out, or damaged or deteriorated beyond repair, will not
be serviced. Non-Oceanic products will not be serviced.
What
is an upgrade?
Oceanic
has a select list of products
that may be upgraded. Turn in a product that is on the list, and receive
your choice of brand-new product from the list at the special price.
Upgrades are Factory Authorized and carry the Oceanic 2-Year Limited
Warranty.
What
are the shipping and handling charges?
In Australia,
$25.00 will cover most single-item services. Some large or rush shipments
will be higher, and will be quoted on request. Warranty services will
be shipped freight paid. Declined or unserviceable products will be
shipped freight collect.
What
are the payment options?
All major
credit cards accepted. We need account number, expiration date, name
on the card and the billing address.
What
is the warranty on factory repairs?
If the repair
is done at no charge under warranty, the original purchase date remains
as the date the warranty began. A new warranty period does not begin
when a warranty service is performed.
Most non-warranty
repairs offer a 1 Year Limited
Warranty. Some product repairs, such as dry suits, strobes and lights,
offer a 90-Day Limited Warranty.
Upgrades
offer the standard Oceanic 2-Year
Limited Warranty.
