Damaged or Defective Products

If your order was broken in shipment or if items are defective, our customer service department will assist you with a refund or replacement.

Damaged Items

If your order arrived damaged, please contact Transcat Pipettes customer service within 1-2 business days. We ask that you provide photos of the defect for each affected item, as well as pictures of the packaging and delivery box. We will process a replacement order for all affected products.

Defective or Warranty Related Issues

If your items arrived defective or broke within the warranty period, please contact Transcat Pipettes customer service immediately. It may be necessary to first contact the manufacturer for technical support—it is common for new products to be configured prior to use or simply need a setting change. Upon confirmation that an item is defective, Transcat Pipettes will provide an RMA and specific instructions for return.

Transcat Pipettes will handle all warranty claims for you. We never ask you to contact the manufacturer directly.
