D. FREIGHT POLICY
Shipment of merchandise for repair to Tamron's repair facility shall be made freight prepaid by the customer, regardless of the nature of the repair.
Shipment of merchandise after a WARRANTY repair by Tamron's repair facility shall be made freight prepaid by Tamron via ground or air service depending on your location. OUT OF WARRANTY repairs will incur a $20 USD / $23 CAD shipping fee included in your repair estimate. This applies only to return shipments in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. However, freight charges based on weight will be added to the bill when special arrangement (such as overnight or two-day priority) is made at the request of the customer. Any return shipments made outside of our jurisdiction (international shipments) will be the customer's responsibility and included on your repair estimate. This includes any UPS or FEDEX estimated duties and taxes and may be subject to change. Once the delivery has shipped from our New York warehouse, Tamron Americas will not be responsible for any further fees and/or charges.
Signature Required ($6.00 USD / $?? CAD charge) on your package return is an option we highly recommend that you choose when filling out our customer equipment repair form. Tamron is not liable for any unclaimed product after successful delivery is made by our carriers. If a package is received damaged please contact our customer service group at 1-800-827-8880 option 1.

Rates/estimates can only be determined after the equipment is received and evaluated by Tamron and/or Tamron's Authorized Service Centers. If you wish to receive information on how to receive an estimate, please contact the service department at 1-800-827-8880.
