What does SUNMI warranty cover?
SUNMI provides warranty coverage through its SUNMI Care Standard program, which covers all SUNMI devices for 3 years from the date of purchase. This coverage applies to manufacturing defects and hardware failures that occur under normal use.
Covered under SUNMI Care Standard
– Hardware malfunctions not caused by physical damage
– Manufacturing defects in components (display, printer, scanner, NFC module)
– System board and internal component failures
– Battery defects within the warranty period
Not covered under warranty
– Physical damage from drops, spills, or mishandling
– Damage from unauthorized modifications or third-party repairs
– Normal wear on consumable parts. Note: built-in consumable parts such as printer components, gears, paper shafts, batteries, chargers, and accessories carry a separate 1-year warranty regardless of device generation
– Software issues caused by third-party applications
– Devices with removed or tampered serial number labels
If your repair falls outside warranty coverage, SUNMI will contact you separately to discuss out-of-warranty repair options and associated costs before proceeding.
DOA (Dead-On-Arrival) Policy
If your SUNMI device has a defect within 90 days of dispatch from SUNMI and within 15 days of activation, you may qualify for a free replacement under the DOA policy. You will need to provide complete packaging, proof of purchase, and photos of the defect.
How to check if your SUNMI device is still under warranty
Before submitting a repair request, confirm your device is still within the SUNMI Care Standard warranty period (3 years for 3rd gen devices, 1 year for earlier models). Here is how to find the information you need:
Find your serial number
Every SUNMI device has a unique serial number printed on a label on the back or bottom of the unit. You can also find it in:
– Device Settings > About Phone/Device > Serial Number
– The original purchase invoice from Rosper or your reseller
Verify your purchase date
Your warranty period starts from the date of device activation. If the device is not activated within 90 days of dispatch from SUNMI, the warranty automatically starts on the 91st day after dispatch. SUNMI’s service team will verify warranty status after you submit your repair request.
Step-by-step: How to submit a SUNMI warranty repair request
SUNMI handles all warranty repairs through its US Service Portal. Here is the complete process:
Step 1: Go to the SUNMI US Service Portal
Visit SUNMI’s Repair Request portal to submit a new RMA request. You can also visit the SUNMI Care page for general warranty information.
Step 2: Select your device model
Choose the exact SUNMI product model from the dropdown list. Common models include the V2s, V3 Mix, T2, T3 Pro, D3, K2, and Wall-Mount Kiosk series. Selecting the correct model ensures your request gets routed to the right service team.
Step 3: Enter your serial number and describe the issue
Provide your device serial number and write a clear description of the problem. Be specific:
– Good: “Touchscreen does not respond to taps on the right side of the display. Started March 10. Restarted device multiple times, issue persists.”
– Less helpful: “Screen broken.”
The more detail you include, the faster the SUNMI service team can diagnose the issue and approve your repair.
Step 4: Upload supporting files
Attach photos or short videos showing the issue. This step is optional but strongly recommended, especially for:
– Visible hardware damage or defects
– Intermittent issues that are hard to describe in text
– Printer output problems (photo of a test print)
– Display artifacts or dead pixels
Step 5: Fill in your contact information
Provide your name, email address, and phone number. SUNMI’s service team will use this information to send you status updates and the RMA approval email.
Step 6: Enter your return shipping address
Add the address where you want the repaired device shipped back to you. Double-check this, as errors can delay the return of your device.
Step 7: Submit the request
Review all information and submit. You will receive a confirmation that your request has been received.
What happens after you submit a repair request
Once your request is in the system, SUNMI follows a structured review process:
Technical review
A SUNMI service technician reviews your submission, including the problem description, serial number, and any uploaded files. They verify your device’s warranty status against their records.
Remote troubleshooting (if applicable)
In some cases, SUNMI’s support team may contact you to try remote troubleshooting before approving a physical repair. This can resolve software-related issues or configuration problems without shipping your device, getting you back up and running faster.
RMA approval
If a physical repair is needed, SUNMI approves your case and sends you an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) email with:
– Your RMA number
– The shipping address for the repair center
– Packaging and shipping instructions
How to ship your device for SUNMI warranty repair
After receiving your RMA approval email, follow these steps to send your device safely:
Print the RMA email
Print the RMA email and include a copy inside the package. This ensures the repair center can immediately identify your case when the package arrives.
Package your device securely
Proper packaging prevents shipping damage, which is not covered under warranty. Use the original box if you still have it, or:
– Wrap the device in anti-static bubble wrap
– Use a sturdy corrugated box with at least 2 inches of cushioning on all sides
– Remove any SIM cards, SD cards, or accessories not related to the repair
– Seal the box with packing tape
Ship via a commercial carrier
SUNMI requires you to use a commercial shipping service with tracking. Recommended carriers include UPS, FedEx, and USPS Priority Mail. Keep your tracking number, as you are responsible for the device until it arrives at the repair center.
For in-warranty repairs, you are responsible for the shipping cost to send the device to the service center. SUNMI covers the return shipping cost after repair is complete. For out-of-warranty repairs, customers are responsible for round-trip shipping costs.

Tips to speed up your SUNMI warranty repair
Getting your device repaired faster starts with how you submit and ship your claim. Here are practical tips from our experience supporting hundreds of SUNMI warranty cases:
1. Be specific in your problem description. Vague descriptions lead to follow-up questions and delays. Include when the issue started, what you have tried, and whether the problem is constant or intermittent.
2. Attach photos or video. Visual evidence helps technicians diagnose the issue before your device arrives, reducing bench time at the repair center.
3. Respond to SUNMI emails promptly. If the service team asks for additional information or wants to try remote troubleshooting, quick responses keep your case moving.
4. Ship within 5 business days of RMA approval. RMA authorizations have an expiration window. Ship your device as soon as possible after receiving approval.
5. Use proper packaging. Devices damaged during shipping due to inadequate packaging may not be covered under warranty.
6. Keep your tracking number. Monitor your shipment and confirm delivery to the repair center.
