Situation | Expectation |
|---|---|
How do I know when "business hours" are? | Business hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, local time. |
If a ticket is opened after business hours (e.g. 11:00 PM), how is it treated? | If a ticket is opened after business hours, we attend to the ticket when we're back into the office (8:00 AM local time). From this point, the part will be dispatched and arrive the following business day. Rest assured, you will still have access to a Level 3 Technician 24 x 7 for help desk support. |
Example scenario: | The ticket is triaged as soon as possible during business hours. A technician is then scheduled to be on-site with parts on Tuesday by 5:00 PM. |
Example scenario: | The ticket is triaged Tuesday morning, as it's after Monday's business hours. A technician is then scheduled to be on-site with parts on Wednesday by 5:00 PM. |

Ramp-up period
From the moment you buy warranty coverage, we have a ramp-up period where we work to stock our nearby service centers with the necessary equipment needed to service your hardware assets.
This period is 30 days in the US, Canada, and the UK. For all other serviceable areas, it's 45 days.
During this time, all requests are treated on a best-effort basis. This means the SLAs are usually achieved, but not guaranteed.
