Terms & Conditions

These terms of use (referred to below as “the Terms of Use”) are only applicable to the website under www.ruggeddepot.com posted by Rugged Depot.

Return Policy

Clients should not accept any clearly damaged packages and should tell the carrier (UPS or FedEx) that they are refusing the order because of damage.

Any non-visible damages (shipping, etc.) must be reported to Rugged Depot within (2) days of receiving the order.

All defects and/or problems must be handled directly with their respective manufacturer. Shipping and Handling charges are non-refundable. Returns will not be accepted by www.ruggeddepot.com without an (RMA – Return Merchandise Authorization) number and will be refused or sent back to the client at the customer’s expense.

Shipping and Lead Times

In general, Panasonic Toughbooks, accessories and related mounting equipment are enterprise solutions that are typically custom built to order and thus carry a lead-time of anywhere from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 months. Please be advised that online orders where expedited shipping is chosen does NOT mean that specific product is in stock and will ship right away. It simply means we will ship via the selected method when the product is available to ship. We can only confirm availability over the phone or online chat. While we do our best to have a wide variety of Toughbook models and accessories in stock, this particular supply chain is challenging and we ask that customers please confirm availability with us on the phone when time is a priority. Additionally, expedited shipping will not apply to multiple items that might have multiple lead-times and ship dates. It is typically applying to the main item of an order. Again, please call us ASAP at (800) 995-5007 to discuss urgent needs and expedited shipping.
