What is the Reznor Next Day Air policy?

Effective January 15th, 2004, Reznor will institute a new parts policy. Following is an outline of the new enhancements:

CHANGES:

The “shipping and handling” (S&H) charge on invoices will include the freight amount plus any special “shipment expedite fee” as outlined in the chart below. For stock and Non Super Stock Parts, there will be a $10.00 “shipment expedite fee” for any shipments made under shipment code. The new $10.00 shipment expedite fee is replacing the previous fee of $20.00 so the net result will be a reduction n the “shipping and handling” charge on invoices.

For non stock parts, there will be an additional $40.00 Expedite charge in addition to “shipment expedite fee” outlined below. The $40 charge will appear as a line item on the order the “shipping and handling” charge on invoices will include the freight amount plus any special “shipment expedite fee”.

SERVICE LEVELS:

Overnight:

If you expect to receive the products (stocked parts only) the following day, then priority overnight or standard overnight must be chosen as the shipping method. Remember NDA orders must be in to our office by noon in order to go out the same day.

Saturday Delivery is also available to some cities, but carries a heavy price.

If you want to have a part expedited, then you must choose an “overnight” shipping method for the order. The order must be for stock parts.

Non-Stocked Parts:

A $40 Expedite fee in addition to regular shipping and handling charges.

You must contact us to request expediting of an order for non-stock parts. We must contact the factory to verify whether they can do this. If you agree that the expedited timeframe is acceptable, then an additional $40 will be applied to your order. If you also want air shipment on this order there will also be a $10 “shipment expedite fee”.

Typical Leadtimes:

Stocked parts ordered via ground or 2nd day air, will usually ship within 2 or 3 days.

What is our damaged/missing freight policy?

Following are the guidelines to use when you have damaged or missing freight:

Effective January 1st, 2004 Reznor Distributors are being requested to file your own freight claims. This will allow you to better manage freight issues and more easily trace your freight claims.

All Reznor products are shipped F.O.B. Factory/Warehouse, which means once the product leaves the factory you have ownership of the product. Following are the procedures you will now need to follow on freight damaged units.

• · Make sure to note all damage on the POD before the trucker leaves. If this does not happen you have 15 days to call and report the damage and request an inspection.
• · Any replacement components, panels or related parts should be included in any freight claim submitted to a common carrier.
• · You will need to place a new order for any replacement components/parts and you will be invoiced for the replacement order.
• · It is imperative that replacement components be shipped via the same carrier to avoid separate/redundant freight costs. In order to do this you must write on your replacement purchase order that the order is a replacement freight claim order and include the original PO#, Freight Carrier and original PRO# that the shipment came in on. This way we can enter the order with that information and the replacement order gets shipped back via the same carrier and in most instances free astray on the original PRO#. Many carriers will not reimburse freight charges if replacement parts are shipped back on a different carrier, so it is imperative to note the original carrier and PRO# on the replacement order.
• · If you must refuse an Engineered Product (Mercer Product). Please contact the Morgan Co. immediately. This unit will then be returned to Mercer, repaired and sent back out to you. DO NOT ORDER ANOTHER UNIT, or you will then have an extra unit.
• · If you refuse any other units (Mexico/Jonesboro Products), the units will go back to the freight terminal and will not be sent back to the factory. You will have to discuss the damage with the freight company and in most cases the freight company will scrap them. You will need to place a new order for any units refused. Please include the original PO#, Freight Carrier and PRO# when entering replacement orders to avoid separate/redundant freight costs.

Reznor will take care of and follow up any claims that are previously filed with them.

What is the Reznor warranty parts policy?

New Online Warranty Request System!

Based on requests from distributors like yourselves, Reznor will now offer you the convenience and speed of the Internet for submitting requests for warranty. This includes both:

• · No Charge Replacement Parts
• · Credits for warranty parts supplied from your inventory

In this bulletin are links to the revised Reznor warranty parts policy and to a powerpoint slide show illustrating how the new system works, step-by-step.

We hope that you can see the advantages of the new system and its ease of use.

Click Here for instructions on the new system. (Power Point slide show)

A. Limited warranty

• · 1. Refer to current warranty regarding periods of coverage (attach warranty Form RZ-NA W Version B (Product limited warranty & extended warranty products))
• · 2. Also reference the following bulletins:
• · Material Return Information RB2001-018,
• · WS replacement parts RB2001-019,
• · Evaporator & Condenser Coils Warranty Policy RB2002-028,
• · Warranty Parts Labor Compensation Clarification RB2002-030
• · 3. Limitations and exclusions are fully documented in the individual product warranty documents (including exclusions for misapplication or not following installation instructions) RZ-NA W Version B states under Limitations and Exclusions #4. “The warranty provided herein is for repair or replacement only.”
• · 4. Costs to customer- Freight Costs
• · · Customer pays freight on parts returned at customer’s expense
• · · Replacement parts are shipped at customer’s expense (including Next Day Air or other FedEx expedited services if requested)
• · 5. Method of tracking- All Warranty requests (For No Charge Replacement parts or Credits to the customer account) will be assigned a unique Warranty Tracking Number (WTN) at the time of entry. This will be the way that you should reference your requests and how you will be notified of their status.
• · 6. Distributors are required to retain all parts returned to them under warranty for 60 days from the time the WTN is assigned. The distributor should keep the printout of the Reznor WTN attached to the part. Reznor reserves the right to have parts returned to the factory for evaluation. Should we see a trend develop we will need to inspect the parts to determine if our suppliers are experiencing a problem. After Approval or Partial Approval, all Approved items can have their disposition tags printed by selecting View and then at the bottom of the screen, choosing the Print function. These tags will indicate whether the parts need to be kept along with the field scrap date, or whether the part must be returned to the Reznor factory. Warranty credit may be revoked if distributor fails to retain returned parts for 60 days after WTN is assigned.

C. Procedure for Request for No Charge N/C Replacement Part or Credit

• · 1. Requesting No Charge N/C Replacement Parts
• · a. Requestor must give Reznor a valid Purchase Order number (Requestor must pay freight) to identify the N/C order in their system and ours.
• · b. N/C replacement requests are accepted only by online entry: www.RezSpec.com under ”Support > Warranty Requests > No Charge Part”
• · c. There are required fields (No Exceptions on the required fields), indicated on the online forms by an asterisk (*), that must be completed for a request to be entered at all.

Distributors w/multiple branches clarify branch # or customer #, replacements with a different “ship to” address please use “remarks” field. Must fill out ALL required information. (Ex. Serial # - Model # - Part # - Failure Type )
• · f. For Motor failure – On motors 3 hp or less -sent out upon immediate receipt of approved WTN. On Motors 5hp or larger, take to certified local repair shop for warranty. They will either replace or repair the motor according to the motor manufacturers’ guidelines. If the repair shop finds that the motor failed due to misuse, no credit will be issued. If the motor is determined to be defective by the Authorized Motor repair center, and under warranty, this documentation will need to be noted on the N/C replacement request (and a copy may be requested by the factory).
• · 2. Credit Requests

• · 3. Reznor may request return of any part within 60 days of date WTN is assigned.
• · 4. Field scrapped parts must be rendered unusable and may not be reconditioned, reused or resold for their original intended purpose.
