You should be fine to return it without those, the manufacturers can't really expect you to hold onto those just in case you need to RMA it. I sent RAM back to Corsair without the original packaging because it got damaged and I binned it, they were fine with it and sent me new RAM back.

Hope this helps!

If you RMA the product it has to be under warrenty (Usually with GPUs it's a year I believe) and they will send you a replacement once they receive the item and have tested it. This is what happened with my RAM, I ended up using my spare 2GB to keep me going while the RMA process was taking place.
