RETURNING ITEMS TO PANASONIC

All returns sent to Panasonic must have a Return Authority Number (“RA Number”) issued for it. Products returned without a RA Number will not be accepted for collection by our transport agents or processed by us until all relevant information is received.

If you live outside of a major metropolitan area Panasonic may require you to deliver the product with all of its packaging to the closest transport depot as advised by Panasonic.

To obtain an RA Number please contact the Panasonic Auckland office on 09 272 0100 during busines hours. To assist in issuing a RA Number in a timely manner, please have the following information ready:

• Model and serial number

• Order number

• Reason for return

If you think the product is faulty, a detailed description of the fault is required. Please note that the issuing of an RA number (RA) by Panasonic is necessary to facilitate assessment of returns and does not mean that your return has been accepted or that a refund will be provided.
