Product Warranty Claim Form
A product warranty claim form needs three facts before anything else: proof of when it was bought, which unit it is, and what it's doing. Without those a claim can't be assessed, only discussed.
For online shops, retailers and independent brands.
Serial number and purchase date, or it isn't a claim
Warranty decisions rest on two data points. Everything else in a claim email is narrative, and the narrative arrives without either of them.
Making them required changes the whole process: claims arrive complete, they can be assessed in one pass, and the customer gets a decision on the first reply rather than a request for more information. Asking what resolution they want - repair, replacement or refund - saves the second round.
The same facts, every time
When each report is written differently, patterns are invisible. Consistent fields mean you can look across a month and see the thing that keeps happening, rather than a folder of prose.
Order numbers turn a complaint into a resolution
"My order is wrong" with no order number is a support conversation that takes four emails. Asking for the number, the item and what happened turns the same message into something one person can resolve on the first reply.
It's the same trick for wholesale enquiries and returns: ask the two facts that decide the answer, and stop the thread before it starts.
Easy enough to actually be used
A reporting process nobody follows produces no data. This one is a link that opens instantly on a phone and takes a couple of minutes, which is the only version that gets used on a busy day.
Yours to change, immediately
Nothing here is fixed. Rewrite a question, reorder them by dragging, add your brand colour, delete half of it. Save and the live form updates - there's no separate publish step and no deploy to wait for.

Questions
What if the customer has lost their receipt?
Ask for the order number or the retailer and approximate date, as this template does. Most claims can be verified from your own records if you have either.
Can customers send photos or video of the fault?
Yes - a file question accepts up to three images at 20 MB each. In practice a good written description plus the serial number resolves most claims without images.
Can reports be submitted anonymously?
Yes, if you make the name optional. Nothing about the submitter is recorded otherwise - no IP address, no account, no tracking.
Can this go to more than one person?
Yes. Notification recipients are a list, so a report can reach a manager and a safety lead at the same time.
Can I export everything for an audit?
Yes - one click gives you a CSV of every response with its timestamp, which is usually exactly what an auditor or insurer asks for.
Can this work alongside my store platform?
Yes - it's a normal link, so it goes on a product page, in a packing slip, in an order confirmation email or in your help centre. Responses stay in ava42, where you can export them.
