Warranty Statement

Last Updated: October 12, 2024

 

At Bambu Lab, we want to ensure we provide great service to our customers. For this purpose, we have prepared a Warranty Statement to inform you of our procedures and how we intend to handle warranty requests. Please note that the following statement applies only to individual customers.

To ensure a smooth process for warranty support, please properly keep your purchase receipt, invoice, and other relevant paperwork for your Bambu Lab product as proof of purchase for any future service inquiries. This will help us provide fast and efficient service in case of a warranty claim. Please note that only purchase receipts issued by Bambu Lab or distributors authorized by Bambu lab are valid for warranty. All refunds, returns, and replacements will only be processed after the original products have been received and inspected at our local warehouse.

Any warranty case must be submitted via our official support page: https://bambulab.com/support. Please note that all return requests must be submitted to our official customer support first and the package must be returned to our designated address, otherwise you could be liable for the loss of the returned items. Any return that has not been confirmed and monitored by customer support might be lost.

Documentation needed for a warranty service:

  • Purchase receipt, invoice, and other relevant paperwork.
  • A brief description of the product issue along with clear evidence of its presence (e.g., photos, videos, and log files where relevant).

The following policy terms will not affect any other rights you are entitled to under the applicable laws of your state or jurisdiction.

If the product is purchased on a 3rd party website or via other purchasing channels such as a retail purchaser (“Resellers”), you shall follow their individual return and exchange policies.

Printer Packaging

The original packaging can provide the best protection for the products, and improper packaging may void warranty and be subject to charges. Pack the products according to our instructions to prevent damage in transit. Bambu Lab will cover the cost of return shipping which is caused by our product quality during the warranty, but you will be responsible for the returned product's packaging and any damage occurring in transit caused by improper packaging. So we highly recommend that you keep the original packaging box and packing materials of the product in case you need to return it for warranty service.

Return and Refund Policy

We are happy to accept your request for return service in any of the following circumstances:

  • Within 14 calendar days of receiving a product which has critical failures, manufacturing defects, or any functionality issues.
  • Within 14 calendar days of receiving a product which has sustained substantial damage in transit, provided that the damage proof issued by the carrier can be provided to Bambu Lab.
  • Within 14 calendar days of receiving a product which is unopened, unactivated, and is still in its new condition.

If you return a product based on a reported issue, the product will be inspected before the refund is processed. If the returned product is confirmed to have no such issue as reported after all appropriate tests are conducted by Bambu Lab, Bambu Lab will charge the shipping fee for each returned item. The shipping fee will be deducted from the total refund amount.

Shipped goods have to be returned to our warehouses/designated places before we proceed with the refund.

We will deduct related costs for any missing parts, such as accessories, cables, or filaments, from the total refund amount.

You should bear all the shipping charges caused if you request to return a non-defective item such as a clogged hotend/extruder, within 14 calendar days of receiving the product.

  • The purchase receipt, invoice, or other relevant paperwork is not provided, or is reasonably believed to have been forged or tampered with.

  • Please note that once we have agreed to a return, customers are required to ship the product back within 14 calendar days as instructed. Failure to do so will be deemed as a waiver of right to return.

Replacement Policy

Improper packing may void warranty and be subject to charge.

If you have requested an exchange, related fees and costs must be paid and received by Bambu Lab before new items are shipped.

Please note that once we have agreed to a replacement, customers are required to ship the product back within 14 calendar days as instructed. Failure to do so will be deemed as a waiver of your right to the replacement.

Additional considerations

1. Failure to submit requests within the aforementioned period will be deemed as a waiver of your right to return/replace the product unless you can clearly and sufficiently prove to us that you were not able to submit the request in a timely manner due to extraordinary circumstances.

2. The report of non-receipt of the product must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the date of shipment. Bambu Lab does not process claims submitted after this deadline.

3. Bambu Lab does not support cross-regional service. If the customer take the product to another country/region and claim for a service, the customer will need to bear for all related costs, such as repair cost and and shipping costs. If unauthorised service centers perform service without approval from Bambu Lab, the warranty will become invalid.

4. In case we have provided a replacement part, the warranty does not reset, and the original warranty period still applies.

5. In case you have sent a product back to us for repair&replacement, the warranty duration is "paused" during the time it is on the way back to us, in repair&replacement, and on its way back to you. In other words, the warranty is extended by the number of days that the product is gone for repair&replacement.

6. If you encounter any product damage, do not handle it by yourself without our guidance to avoid any potential risk. Please open a ticket first for support and do repairs only if instructed by the customer support team.

7. Within the warranty period, installation by DIY(Do-it-yourself) of free replacements would be implemented after confirmation from Bambu Lab, the above method of maintenance is part of the warranty of the products available for repair.

8. If the product is damaged due to the use of third-party accessories, or if the third-party accessories are damaged due to the product, the damaged parts of the product and the third-party accessories will not be covered by the warranty. Damages caused by the use of unofficial firmware and/or modifying/updating firmware with unofficial tools or methods are also not covered under the warranty terms.

9. The entire range of Bambu Lab's printers has strict regional usage restrictions. Please purchase the corresponding version of the product according to your country or region before making a purchase. Otherwise, it may result in the inability to bind the account and the inability to use features such as cloud printing, remote control printing outside the local network, and remote video surveillance outside the local network that are associated with the account.
