How to Process Replacements
The end-user should notify the Customer Service Representative, if a replacement were needed, the Customer Service Representative would process accordingly. An invoice will be generated for the replacement. If the item was damaged or not in working order, a credit will be issued upon the return of the item and a new invoice will be generated for the replacement.

How to Process Returns
The end-user must obtain a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number from the Customer Service Representative. This number should be written on all shipping documents. DO NOT WRITE on the cartons. Once the RGA # is obtained, the end-user should contact the Receiving personnel to advise of a pick up to be returned. Returns must be made within 60 days of issuance of the Return Goods Authorization number. Return shipments of hazardous materials must be packed, marked, labeled and shipped in accordance with regulations. One the item (s) is received at the Fisher Warehouse, the credit will be systematically generated. These credits will either appear on the next billing cycle or as a paper credit memo, depending upon the original requisition involved.
