No repairs or replacement parts will be installed without your approval.


Shipping & Packaging

Packaging Your Printer Before Shipping

To ensure your printer arrives safely, it must be properly packaged before being shipped to our service center.

For maximum protection, we strongly recommend using the printer's original packaging, including all original foam inserts and protective materials.

If the original packaging is unavailable, please use a heavy-duty double-wall cardboard box with suitable protective materials such as high-density foam, providing at least 5 cm (2 inches) of cushioning on all sides.

Before shipping, please ensure that:

  • All filament spools and consumable materials have been removed.
  • Detachable accessories such as AMS, CFS, or similar modules are removed or properly secured according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • All moving parts, including the Heat Bed and Toolhead, are secured to prevent movement during transportation.
  • All empty spaces inside the box are filled with appropriate protective materials.
  • The package is securely sealed.
  • "Fragile" and "This Side Up" labels are attached whenever possible.

Repackaging Fees

If your printer arrives in safe packaging that complies with these guidelines, no additional packaging fee will be charged.

If the packaging is found to be inadequate or does not provide sufficient protection, the printer will be repackaged according to our shipping standards before being returned.

Repackaging fees are as follows:

  • Minimum: 50 (VAT Included)
  • Maximum: 200 (VAT Included)

The applicable fee depends on:

  • Printer size
  • Printer weight
  • Packaging complexity
  • Protective materials required

Refusal of Repackaging

If the customer is informed that the packaging is inadequate and declines our repackaging service, the printer will be returned using the same packaging in which it was received.

By choosing this option, the customer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • The shipment will be transported entirely at the customer's own risk.
  • The repair warranty does not cover any damage or malfunction caused by shipping or inadequate packaging.
  • Wayto3D accepts no responsibility for any loss, damage, or breakage occurring during transportation.
  • Shipping companies may reject any claim or compensation request if the shipment does not meet their packaging requirements, and the customer accepts full responsibility in such cases.

Important Notes

  • Our technicians reserve the right to evaluate the quality of the packaging upon receipt.
  • If visible damage or inadequate packaging is identified, the shipment will be documented with photographs and/or video before opening.
  • Inspection or repair may be delayed until repackaging charges are approved or authorization is received from the customer.
  • Customers are advised to keep the shipment tracking number and shipping receipt until the repair process has been completed and the printer has been returned.

Shipping

  • Customers are responsible for shipping their printer to our service center.
  • Customers are also responsible for the return shipping costs after inspection or repair unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • Return shipping charges will be added to the final invoice.

Remote Support

For minor issues, Wayto3D offers remote technical support through video communication to reduce repair costs and minimize downtime.

After reviewing your request, our technical team will determine whether the issue can be resolved remotely and will schedule a support session if appropriate.


Repair Turnaround Time

An estimated repair time will be provided after the inspection has been completed.

Repair time depends on:

  • The type of fault
  • Repair complexity
  • Availability of replacement parts
