VoIP Supply also offers advance replacement services for any failed hardware component. If our technical support determines that a replacement part is required, the replacement part will be shipped for advance replacement using an expedited carrier service. However, if your product was from an unauthorized source, you will not be able to obtain support or a replacement under warranty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Reason 2: Take advantage of Poly promotions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poly provides decent promotions such as rebate incentives from time to time. As an authorized partner of Poly, VoIP Supply is able to help you take full advantage of them and save more. Unfortunately, gray market devices are not eligible for these promotions. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Reason 3: Avoid defect products, missing parts, and outdated software<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some unauthorized sellers sell \u201cunused products\u201d rather than \u201cnew products\u201d and these Poly devices can come missing key accessories or components required for your region to ensure the product will work as needed. We have also seen some unauthorized sellers selling products that include software that is no longer supported by Poly and requires updates to prevent network vulnerability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Reason 4: Enjoy FREE configuration services<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An authorized Poly partner like VoIP Supply provides FREE configuration services on devices they provide. If you are using BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, there\u2019s usually a configuration fee because these devices are not passing through the same warehouse for pre-configuration and thus the workload is much greater.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Reason 5: Get Full Support and Assistance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorized Poly partners have the necessary qualifications and training and have access to Poly resources, sales, and technical personnel to offer you full support and assistance. For BYOD devices, however, there\u2019s no guaranteed troubleshooting and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure if your vendor is an authorized Poly partner or not? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polycom.com\/partners\/why-authorized-partners.html#unauthorized-sources\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here to see the list of unauthorized sources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or simply purchase through VoIP Supply at <\/span><a href=\"\/\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'voip supply address');\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.voipsupply.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to choosing a vendor for Poly products, lower pricing can be tempting, but watch out!
