Microsoft Store tip
One of the more generous electronics policies at 60 days. Surface devices and Xbox have same window.
Rollo tip
Rollo printers only work with their own labels or compatible thermal stock, so before returning a printer as 'defective,' confirm you're using the right label size and type - a lot of print-quality complaints trace back to mismatched labels, not the hardware.
