THE PROCESS

The process for an upgrade:

  1. Fill-In The Form. Complete the secure Upgrade Form to request the upgrade. If you are not sure and want more information, please book a consultation to discuss it with us. This is also the best way to raise any additional requests, such as replacement of a damaged panel or an upgrade of storage, etc.
  2. We Invoice You The Full Cost. Antipodes will send you an invoice for the total cost of the upgrade, and will request any further information needed by Antipodes to manage the round-trip shipping.
  3. Pay The Invoice. Make payment of the invoice and provide any further information Antipodes has requested. International payments may take 3-5 business days to be received.
  4. We Organise Shipping & Cover Shipping Costs. Antipodes will organise the shipping of your device from your premises, and you will need to contact the courier firm we select in order to arrange a pick-up time. If you live in a remote area that is out of the pick-up zone for the courier, you may need to deliver the device to the courier's depot. We need to use our courier for the shipment so that we can handle all of the border clearance issues for you. Another alternative is to deliver the unit to the dealer it was purchased from, and we will arrange shipping with your dealer.
  5. We Upgrade Your Device. The device will be picked up and shipped to an authorised service center where the upgrade will be completed and fully tested. The upgrade and testing will typically take 3-5 days. It may take longer if your device requires an additional repair in order to bring it up to an 'as new' performance level, because parts may need to be shipped to the service center. You will only be charged for the additional costs if the issue was caused by your misuse of the device, as defined in our online and printed user guide or on the device itself. As with pick-ups, if you are located in a remote area that is outside of the coverage area of the courier we select, you will need to pick the item up from the courier's depot. If you delivered it to you dealer for shipping, it will be shipped back to your dealer, for you to pick up.
  6. We Ship It Back & Cover Customs Clearance & Related Costs. The device will be shipped back to you and Antipodes will endeavour to handle all border clearance procedures and pay all border charges. In some countries the local courier agency may charge you a small handling fee, or the local border agency may contact you as the importer of record for more information, but this is not common. Your upgraded device will have a new warranty to apply from the date that we ship you the upgraded device.
