Question: What is Mervin Manufacturing’s warranty policy?

Answer:

All products made by Mervin Mfg have a one year warranty against manufacturer’s defect. This is provided by us for those products sold through Mervin’s Authorized Dealers only. It covers defects in materials and workmanship. This does not cover normal wear and tear, excessive abuse by riding things other than snow, or impacts due to your steering problems. You must keep your sales receipt when you purchase a Mervin Mfg. product. This is your proof of purchase and you will need to show this if you need to warranty your product. It is good for the original purchaser only and is void if your product is purchased from another person or unauthorized dealer. This would include Craig’s List, EBAY, etc. There is a list of Authorized Dealers on each brand’s website.

If you think you may have defective product take it back to the shop where you purchased it or an authorized Mervin dealer. They can take a look at it and help you determine the best course of action. They will call the warranty department at Mervin and get a RETURN AUTHORIZATION (RA) NUMBER so that the board can be sent to Mervin and inspected. If you purchased your board from an authorized internet dealer you can contact the warranty department and arrange to send the board back to Mervin Mfg. ANY WARRANTIES SENT TO MERVIN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SALES RECEIPT AND AN RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER. As with any consumer item, ie; electronics, machinery, etc, you must have a sales receipt to show proof of purchase. Sorry, no exceptions.

Question: Do I need to register my Mervin Manufacturing Product to qualify for Mervin’s warranty?

Answer:

Your Mervin product currently does not need to be registered for warranty. You will need a valid proof of purchase from an authorized Mervin dealer to pursue your warranty claim.

Question: Do I or the shop need RETURN MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION # to return my product to Mervin?

Answer:

Yes. Individuals or shops CANNOT return product to Mervin Manufacturing without an RMA #.

Question: How long will it take to get my product (board/bindings) back once I send it in?

Answer:

Once we receive your product at our where house please allow 5 days for us to process the claim and determine whether your product will be replaced, repaired, or denied. We normally ship replacement product using Fed Ex Ground so please factor in return shipping time for your return to address. If you choose to expedite the shipping method of your product to us we will in most cases reciprocate and ship it back to you using the same expedited method that the sender used.

For example:

If you send your board to us 2nd day air, we will send it back to you 2nd day air.

Repairs: If it is determined that your product is to be repaired please allow 10 working days for our technicians to do the repair work and the final tuning/buffing of your board (“good as new”).

General tip: It is always helpful if you have a backup setup to ride while your board/binding claim is being processed.

Question: Will Mervin pay for the shipping costs for me to send the board back to them? Can they send me a call tag to have the board picked up?

Answer:

No & No. Our basic warranty shipping policy is that the customer or shop pays to ship the product back to us and we pay to ship the repaired/replaced or denied product back to the customer or shop.

Question: I have a problem with my board that concerns me, but I can’t send it back right now because it is still ride able and there is too much pow pow. Can I ride the board for a while (the season) and send it back to Mervin when the snow melts?

Answer:

Yes. Contact one of our warranty technicians as soon as you start having a problem with our product. Send us your receipt copy and digital pictures of your “defect”. We can keep you shredding until you are ready to part ways with your shred tool.

Question: What happens if Mervin is out of stock of the product that I need to have replaced?

Answer:

Sometimes if it is late in the season Mervin will replace your board with next year’s model of your product. Other times Mervin may replace your product with a comparable product model after consulting with you for an alternate replacement choice.

Question: Can Mervin fix my board because I hit a rock on accident?

Answer:

No. We’re sorry you incurred damage to your snowboard that is not covered under warranty, but unfortunately we are not a snowboard repair shop. We will be happy to help you find a good snowboard repair shop near you to do the repair.

Question: How often should I call or email to check on the status of my warranty case?

Answer:

Please keep the calls and emails to a minimum regarding your claim and always give your RMA # when inquiring about your case. The less calls and emails we get the more time we have to take care of your case.

Question: Can I upgrade my replacement board to a btx, c2x or other more expensive board?

Answer:

Yes, but it will cost you the difference in price to get the upgrade. Have your credit card number ready.

Question: How can I get spare parts for my Bent Metal, Gnu, or Roxy Bindings?

Answer:

Try taking your bindings back to the shop that you purchased them from first. The shop should have parts to service your bindings or if they don’t they can contact us and we can send out the needed parts to the shop. If this is not possible contact us directly via email. Include digital pictures of the broken or missing parts. Specify brand/model/size/year of your bindings and designate left/right, toe/ankle, etc… Provide your receipt for the bindings to us by fax or email. If your bindings are still covered under warranty we will send you the replacement parts free of charge. Include a shipping address and phone number. The address cannot be a PO Box as Federal Express does not ship to PO Boxes.
