Free return shipping & RMA — how it works

Free return shipping & RMA — how it works

Free regional RMA, on every miner we ship. Three warehouses — Europe, Canada, US — handle returns the moment they cross your door. You pay nothing. You don't go through Asia. You don't argue.

Why this matters

Buying a miner shouldn't mean signing up for a logistics second job. Yet for most of the industry, that's the deal:

  • 4–8 week turnaround. Typical RMA windows route every claim back through Asia. Your unit sits in a forwarder while you watch hashrate die.
  • $80–$200 in return shipping, paid out of pocket. For a $400 lottery miner, that's half the cost of the unit — to fix a defect you didn't cause.
  • Customs nightmares. Cross-border returns get held at the border, classified wrong, and taxed twice. We've seen units stuck for months over a $30 paperwork error.

What we do differently

HeliumDeploy operates three regional warehouses. Your RMA goes to the closest one — automatically — and we cover return shipping in full.

  • EU warehouse (Berlin) serves the UK, EU, and Nordics. SLA: 5–7 business days.
  • Canada warehouse (Montreal) serves Canada. SLA: 3–5 business days.
  • US warehouse (Texas) serves the USA and LATAM. SLA: 3–5 business days.

Every shipment includes a prepaid label both ways. DOA units are replaced with no questions asked.

How it works

  1. File the RMA. Email mike@heliumdeploy.io with your order number and a photo or short clip of the issue. Two minutes.
  2. Prepaid label emailed. Routed to your nearest of three hubs. Same day during business hours.
  3. Drop at any carrier counter. No customs paperwork on your end.
  4. Replacement out the door as soon as the return scans into the hub.

Engineered for solo miners

NerdQaxe++, BitAxe, and the rest of the BitAxe-class fleet are small, technical, and unforgiving. Our RMA program covers what actually breaks on these boards:

  • Hashboard failures
  • Power delivery issues
  • Firmware bricking — yes, even that
  • DOA units — replaced immediately

Physical damage and modifications are not covered. Three-day window from delivery to file a DOA claim.

The fine print, in plain English

  • How long is the warranty? 12 months on most lottery-class units. The product page lists the exact window for each SKU.
  • What if I damaged it? We inspect every return. If it's borderline, we err on your side.
  • What if you can't repair it? Replacement from current inventory. If the model is sold out, store credit or refund — your call.
  • Reseller purchases? Direct from HeliumDeploy only. If you bought through a reseller, contact them first — but email us anyway and we'll help where we can.

File an RMA right now

Email mike@heliumdeploy.io with your order number and a photo or short clip of what's wrong. We'll have a prepaid label in your inbox the same day, during business hours.
