Default Re: Got my heat press.... and its damaged

Give the Hotronix a call direct 800-727-8520 - talk to Joe or Brian

The shipper should have reommended shipping the 16 x 20 press via truck, although it costs a bit more, the success rate of a press arriving in good condition is much better. After seeing customers with similar problems, it's our policy to only ship via freight on the 16 x 20 presses.

Hotronix should replace it for you but you could file a claim with UPS as an alternative.

I looked at the warrenty it says the element has a lifetime warrenty, which i found to be very shocking. I had expected 1 year 2 years at the max.

Little disappointed on the shipping. I didnt take pictures of it in the box, although I should have. Looks to have bounced around some, even though the shipping weight is 110 pounds.

Anyone have this type of problem before when they received theirs damaged from shipping ? Do they replace this. is this common ?

Mine was shipped by UPS, and at a cost of $1295 ( hotronix 16"x20" digital auto open press ) for the machine, I guess I could deal with the dents although I rather not. Would like it replaced, and atleast a new heating element. If its something that is easily changed out.

( Im new to the tshirt side of this but not signs, heres my intro )
