Sending my item to
Control System Labs
How should I pack my
item to send to you?
Please pack your item, along with any documentation (the RMA or detailed description of the problem, previous repair notes, manuals, etc.) and any relevant hardware to aid in the repair (power supplies, cables, etc.) in appropriate packing material and in a sturdy, appropriately sized box.
What is the best
shipping method?
Use what is the best method for
your company and time frame. Our
preferred carrier is UPS. Heavier items may
require pallets and to have freight delivery arranged.
Should I insure my
item?
For items with a high value, we
strongly suggest shipping your item(s) with insurance; Control System Labs is
not responsible for packages lost through any carrier.
Who pays shipping for
my repair?
The sender is responsible for the
cost of shipping your items to and from Control System Labs. For return shipments, our default shipping method is UPS Ground; you may change your return shipping carrier or speed with your preference upon approval of your repair. Heavier items may need to have freight pickup arranged. All fees associated with shipping (duties, other taxes or fees with international shipments) are the responsibility of the customer.
Will my unrepaired item be re-assembled if returned unrepaired?
When a customer requests to have a unit return unrepaired,
our standard policy is to re-assemble the unit, except where noted on the
website or in the quotation. Some units will not be re-assembled unless paid
for by the customer. This includes but is not limited to items such as
Motors and Valves.
Can I pick up my
item?
If you are local to the Buffalo,
New York area, then local pickup is available.
RMAs
What if my item
number is not listed as a part number for an RMA?
If your item is not found in our
online search, that does not mean that Control System Labs cannot fix it. If you wish to send in your item for evaluation, you can put all of your information, including the item brand, name
and item number into the RMA form to submit with your product. Most evaluations are free, but some will require a more in-depth investigation, and evaluation fees may apply. You will always receive a quotation before incurring any charges.
Do I need an RMA for a Core Return?
Yes, if you have a Core Return for us, please select "Core Return" in the problems category on the RMA, and state what the unit is that you are returning for consideration. Please also state any pertinent information, such as the last time the unit was used (if known) and include any documentation with the unit when sending to us. Core Returns will be evaluated once received, and the customer will be contacted afterwards in regard to the value.
Turnaround Time &
Rush Orders
What is your standard
turnaround time?
Standard turnaround time is
approximately 10 business days from the time you approve your quote. This time may change based on shop volume and
part ordering.
Can you rush an
order?
Yes, we can. Typical turnaround time for a Rush order is 3-5
business days from the time the quote is approved (dependent on shop volume and
parts availability). Your order is placed first in the repair queue, ahead of all non-rush orders, and will receive priority processing from our Purchasing department. Rush fees do not include expedited return shipping or purchasing parts with next day or second day delivery. Those delivery choices are an additional expense to the customer if desired; if a customer requires expedited return shipping, it must be noted at the time of approval and the cost is the responsibility of the customer.
Order Status
Who do I contact for
status on my order?
You may contact our Sales or
Customer Service team for any status updates via phone at 716-836-2100 (select option #2), by email at orders@controlsystemlabs.com, or via our Live Chat on our website.
Do I receive a
tracking number for my repair item(s) after it is shipped?

invoiced, you will receive a tracking number via the email address on file with your Quote.

Labs provide a warranty?
Yes, see our Warranty Page for details.
Is my repair taxable?
Your repair is taxable only if
shipped to an address in New York state. New York state customers are welcome to submit their Tax Exempt forms when applicable and we will keep on file for your repair(s).
How do warranties work for "spare parts"?
We understand that sometimes a repair is completed to a unit that is a "spare part." While we encourage customers to test their spare units upon return, we know this is not always possible. In this case, we ask that a customer notify us in writing or by phone, to let us know what date the repaired part was put into service, referring to the unit's specific serial number, and confirming that the unit is stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. In the case that we are notified and those specific requirements have been met, Control System Labs agrees to extend the warranty on that unit an additional nine months (maximum) from the date the unit was put into service.
