page3 How do I deal with returns and warranty claims?

If a customer receives defective goods or if a defect occurs during the warranty period, the customer can return the goods to the merchant as a warranty claim. To do this, the customer must register the warranty in their Galaxus customer account. The merchant must immediately repair or replace the goods or refund the purchase price, whereby a solution can also be requested bilaterally with the customer. Merchants will not be actively informed about newly created warranty cases (e.g. info mail), but must regularly check the CMI account themselves. Read below the instructions that apply to you.

🇨🇭 Instructions for merchants who supply to customers in Switzerland

  • As described above, customers register their defective products in the customer account and receive automated instructions about the next steps. If the customer needs to send the item in, they will send it out, if they need to contact you first, you will be contacted by the customer. This is how the registration in the customer account begins:

  • Once you have either received the item or have been contacted by the customer, you will need to log into our Customer Management Interface (CMI) and change the status of the warranty case to «In Progress». Once the case is closed, the status can be changed to «Resolved». Instructions: WebEDI (CMI) for merchants
