Protect your product using bubble wrap or non-woven fabric. We recommend wrapping it in at least 3 inches (8 cm) of bubble wrap on all sides of the product to secure it during transit. Separately wrap any removable components like antennas from your router or base stand from your monitor and place them behind your main product inside your product box.
Secure packaging with additional padding and outer box. Once safely packaged with buffer materials inside a product box, we recommend packing it in an outer box with an additional 3 to 4 inch layer of foam or bubble wrap on all sides of the product box for shipping.
Seal your shipment with wide, thread seal tape. With your product box secured within an outer box, seal your shipment with thread seal tape with at least 2 inches (5cm) on both sides of the box.
Test your package by gently shaking it. Confirm that the product does not shake before preparing for shipment. Any damage found on the product will not be covered by warranty.
5. Ship
Write your RMA number on the outer shipment box. This helps ASUS quickly identify your repair.
Purchase a shipping label with a tracking number. ASUS recommends only using trackable shipping options. Retain a copy of your tracking number for your records.
Confirm shipment address. Verify that your shipping label is properly addressed to our ASUS Repair Center. Incorrect addresses will result in significant service delays.
Consider purchasing an ASUS Certified Shipping Label. For the best shipping experience, ASUS is proud to offer you approved shipping labels in partnership with FedEx. These labels offer simplicity and convenience at fixed pricing for every product we support. Expedited shipping also available.
