Courier and Shipping Policy
- Shipping costs are calculated based on dimensional weight and the delivery service selected.
- Source I.T. does not guarantee on-time delivery due to third-party carrier limitations.
- Source I.T. is NOT responsible for errors, delays, damage, or losses caused by third-party couriers, including but not limited to FedEx, UPS, Canada Post, and DHL. Once an order has been handed over to the courier, all liability for shipping-related issues rests with the courier service. Any disputes regarding lost, delayed, or damaged shipments must be addressed directly with the courier.
- Users are responsible for customs, duties, and claims on international orders. Losses incurred through Canada Post shipments are not reimbursed through Source I.T. These issues must be taken up with Canada Post.
Third-Party Billing

Credit Card Chargebacks

Returns and RMA Policy
- Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) numbers are required for all returns. NO EXCEPTIONS. Request one with the Return Authorization form on the Refund and Returns Policy page; requests must include part details, serial numbers, and a description of the failure or the reason for the return. Do not ship a return before its RMA number has been issued. Returns without an RMA number, or shipped collect, are refused.
- RMAs must be requested within 30 days of delivery. An RMA number is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued, and the return must be received within that time.
- Approved refunds are made to the original payment method once the returned part has been received and tested. Exchanges are not offered: to get a different part, return the one you have and place a new order.
- Good parts being returned must be unused, in their original condition and packaging, with the serial number label intact. A restocking fee of $25 or 25% of the part’s price (whichever is greater) applies to every good-part return. Software, sale items, and special order parts cannot be returned as good parts.
- Source I.T. will test all claimed defective returns upon receipt. Defective parts are repaired or replaced at Source I.T.’s option, or refunded if no replacement is available. A part claimed defective or DOA that is not found to be defective is treated as a good-part return, and the same fee ($25 or 25% of the part’s price, whichever is greater) applies.
- Return shipping, duties, and customs charges are the User’s responsibility, and original shipping charges are not refunded. Source I.T. will not be held responsible for taxes charged on returns where the paperwork was incorrectly completed. All paperwork and customs forms should be labeled as Returned product and be Tax free.
- Shortages and wrong items must be reported within 48 hours of receipt. Damage in transit must be claimed with the carrier.
- The full terms are set out in the Refund and Returns Policy, which forms part of these Terms and Conditions.
