Returns

All returns should be coordinated with the vendor prior to bringing your item(s) down for shipping. Proper paperwork must accompany all return shipments.

For vendor specific return policies and procedures, contact the vendor. Staples and Dell return procedures are described below.

Most vendors will provide a return authorization number to include in your return shipment. This is a reference number and not a shipping number. Most returns must be shipped back to the vendor at your own expense. Your return item(s) may be shipped in Copy/Mail BA109 by USPS mail or by completing a shipping form. Shipping Forms are also available in Copy/Mail BA109.

The department is responsible for notifying Purchasing and Accounts Payable regarding any item(s) purchased through the TechBuy system. For assistance with TechBuy, please contact Purchasing at (915) 743-7841.
