What are XOTIC PC Services (“XPC Service”)?

Our goal at XOTIC PC is to offer our customers the largest selection of customization options and personalization services.

Due to the amount of time spent customizing and testing computer systems, XOTIC PC Services are non-refundable services. In laptop and desktop configuration pages, any option labeled “XPC Service” is a service from XOTIC PC which is non-refundable upon the return or cancellation of any system.

These services will add approximately 4–7 business days to build times on Sager laptops, because Sager laptops have to ship from Sager’s facility in California to the XOTIC PC facility located in Nebraska to receive these services.


If you have any questions regarding our services, return or cancellation policies, please contact us directly.

What happens if I remove my Primary Hard Drive?

If you have removed your Primary Hard Drive you would lose your OS installation if your model originally came with an Operating System. Models that do not come with any Operating System would require a Hard Drive and an Operating System to be installed.


We provide an option to install on a secondary drive. To find out more information on this, please speak with your Verifications or Sales Representative.

What are the different phases my order goes through and what do they mean?

When ordering your new laptop or desktop, it is easy to get excited about your new machine, however please keep in mind the time it takes to build and deliver your hand-customized computer. Please take into account various factors, such as additional custom work like wrapping or painting (if purchased) and parts availability as various parts can be delayed by the manufacturer. With any new technology, video cards or new models, etc. there is the possibility of delays due to setbacks from the manufacturers. This means that XOTIC PC must delay orders in these instances, but we will keep you updated to any possible delays as soon as information becomes available.


The following explains the different phases your computer goes through while at XOTIC PC. You will receive email updates throughout the process letting you know what phase your computer is in.


ORDERED: Order placed awaiting processing by our staff. Processing√ time is normally 24 Business Hours. If you ordered a pre-ordered item that is over 2 weeks out it will remain in this status until stock arrives.


ALLOCATION & QUEUE  (Average 3-9 Business Days): A special component bin has been assigned to your order. The parts and custom materials needed for your system have been sent to be gathered/ordered and will be placed in your bin. Once all of the hardware is inside your component bin, it will proceed to the production queue & build. If you purchased a stock model with no customizations the next two phases will be skipped and go right to shipping.


BUILD  (Average 2-4 Business Days): Your order has been picked and is either in our production queue or being hand-assembled. A dedicated XOTIC PC Technical Engineer will carefully complete the requested customizations for your order. Your XOTIC PC Technical Engineer has a passion for attention to detail & strives to build every system as if it was his own work of art. Your status will be updated once the assembly & build have been completed.


QA & TESTING  (Average 1-3 Business Days): Your custom machine has successfully been built and is preparing for analysis and testing. The installation of the operating system, drivers/utilities, and any applications that are specific to the system you ordered is completed here. We will also install testing & benchmark utilities and burn-in software necessary to scrupulously monitor your system’s performance throughout our testing & burn-in process. Afterward, we perform a series of torturous tests that push the hardware components in your system to the very limit. This stage is especially important because it is in this process where the system either excels or fails. If it does fail, our XOTIC PC technicians will identify any problems and resolve them before we ship your computer system. If the computer system still does not pass our tests, we will then re-build it with a new batch of components. Your status will be updated once the stress testing, burn-in, and technical analysis have been completed.


(Note: This is only an estimation. If problems are encountered during any phase of your order, we may have to hold your order for a few more days to ensure you receive a rock-solid, stable, and problem-free system. If you purchased RUSH your system is prioritized through each of these phases ahead of all other non-rush orders. If custom paint, wrap, etch or hydro dip are purchased this will add to the estimated lead times above. Sager models may skip some of the status steps due to them being built in another facility.)

If you would like to request a quote from our Customer Loyalty Team, please email us at sales@xoticpc.com.

Does XOTIC PC offer Price Protection?

Our industry is volatile and we witness increases or decreases in parts pricing nearly every day. XOTIC PC guarantees its pricing up until the day the order ships from the production facility (if it is a Sager model we guarantee pricing up until the day it ships from the Sager Facility).


A price-drop request must be received prior to the shipment processing.

Does XOTIC PC offer Free Shipping?

We do offer FREE UPS Ground Shipping (to the lower 48 states only, some restrictions apply) on most of our laptops and during promotional periods on other items. To see how to apply and qualify for this free shipping offer, make sure to check the laptop and desktop configuration pages.

Do you charge for back-ordered or pre-ordered items?

By default, we process payments on all orders as they are placed. Due to the volatile nature of our industry and with new technology being released, delays from manufacturers are possible, however we update our website daily to account for any possible foreseeable issue.

Benefits of an Extended Warranty Plan & how long can I purchase the Warranty?

Sometimes trying to communicate with manufacturers can be difficult, and finding a quality service center isn’t easy either. Extended Warranty Plans do all the legwork for you.


For 1, 2 or 3 years beyond the manufacturer’s warranty we will repair/replace your defective product and return the repaired item to you. You’ll be able to request repair through our Technical support.


Our Extended Warranty Plans can be purchased up to 90 Days from Ship Date. Any Accidental Warranty cannot be added, unless it is shipped to XOTIC PC for inspection first.

When does warranty coverage begin?

If purchased in conjunction with new computer hardware, your Warranty Plan begins immediately. Any problems relating to defective exchanges or returns that arise during the return/exchange time period will be in accordance with such policies.

How long does it take to process an order?

Most orders are processed within 24 hours of your order being submitted, as long as our standard terms are followed. After an order is processed, it goes through production and testing and then onto shipment. In the event USPS is chosen, there can be a minimal delay due to there being only one pick-up time per day. XOTIC PC has multiple UPS pick-ups daily and typically ship out faster than USPS.

When will I get my tracking number?

Tracking numbers are updated either the evening of or morning following shipment. You will get a tracking number you can use to track the package through UPS, FED EX or USPS (package #).

How long will it take to ship my order?

Laptop orders are typically built, tested and shipped an estimated 3-9 business days after payment is successfully processed. If you are looking to get your laptop sooner we also offer rush services which takes an estimated 1–4 business days after payment is processed.


Desktop orders typically ship an estimated 3-9 business days after payment is successfully processed. Our ready to ship desktops are ready to ship.


Processing/Production time (the time between ordering a product and that product leaving our warehouse) depends on stock availability. Orders begin processing within 1 business day from the time they are received. Please do not count weekends or holidays as business days for processing time. Custom skins, paint and etching will add additional time to your order


We do not ship on Saturday, Sunday or holidays. Please allow an additional 24 to 48 hours for weekend orders. For quicker delivery, we ship each item as soon as it is ready, so don’t be concerned if your order arrives in separate shipments. To save you money, we calculate shipping charges as if your order shipped all together. Accessories are usually shipped from an alternate location.

Do you ship to APO, FPO, DPO or international destinations?

We ship to countries all over the world and to APO, FPO & DPO destinations every day. If you would like to request a shipping quote, or have questions regarding shipping, please contact us directly at: sales@xoticpc.com.

Do you accept International Orders and how is the warranty handled?

XOTIC PC gladly accepts international orders. For any warranty, the customer is responsible for shipping both ways to our service center in the US.


XOTIC PC provides international shipping via UPS and USPS, though UPS is our recommended option for international customers. USPS provides slower transit times, and though rare, should a package become lost or damaged, USPS claims processes take an extended amount of time compared to UPS.

Do I have to Pay Duties/Taxes on shipments shipping outside of the US?

Canadian customers will encounter upfront payment of import taxes and, if applicable, duties during the checkout process, ensuring their convenience and facilitating a smooth transaction.

Other International Customers: will have to pay Taxes/Duties upon receipt of their package. These charges are not charged by XOTIC PC. They are charged by the shipping carrier at the time of delivery. To find out more information or receive an estimate on the taxes/duties due please contact your selected shipping carrier.
