If you are an Australian customer you will need to deliver or post your defective product to our local depot.

You are responsible for any expenses you may incur in delivering your defective product to our local depot.  All other expenses in relation to your approved warranty claim will be covered by SanDisk.

Under the Australian Consumer Law (which applies irrespective of our warranty), you may be entitled to recover some or all of your expenses in making this warranty claim.

You will be notified by email once we ship your new device along with a UPS tracking number. You can track your package via http://www.ups.com and entering the tracking code.
