Shipping & returns

Freight, delivery, and return paths for NTS systems

Domestic and federal delivery options, rack-aware freight handling, and return policies for IT hardware orders from New Tech Solutions.

Logistics

Delivery and returns sized to servers, GPU racks, and federal programs

NTS ships engineer-to-order servers, GPU systems, and storage from Fremont, CA. Freight method, liftgate, and white-glove options depend on chassis weight, rack height, and site access.

Federal and SLED programs often require serial manifests, packing lists tied to CLIN lines, and coordinated delivery windows—NTS documents those with the quote and integration SOW when L11/L12 is in scope.

Returns and exchanges require an RMA before freight is booked. Unauthorized returns may be refused or delayed at receiving.

Procurement context

NTS Logistics · Shipping & Returns: what buyers should know

Useful facts for architects, contracting officers, and program teams evaluating NTS.

New Tech Solutions (RackmountNTS) engineers, stages, and supports enterprise servers, GPU AI platforms, storage, and integrated racks from Fremont, California. Configurations are engineer-to-order with burn-in evidence and serial-tracked acceptance.

Quotes can align to SEWP V, ITES-4H, GSA MAS, and SLED cooperatives when your SOW and vehicle allow. Tell us workload, form factor, and timeline—we return a validated BOM and procurement path rather than a parts list alone.
