Product Faults.
In the unlikely event that you wish to return a product because of an error on our part or because it has been received damaged / defective at point of delivery, We will discuss the options with you for exchange, credit or upgrade! and arrange a collection by our couriers or agent. We will confirm with you the full details before any pickup occurs and items must be returned to us in their original packaging and with all their accessories and manuals. You must still notify us within 3 Business Days of Delivery and we will start the returns process from there.
Products that fail due to a manufacturing fault within 28 days, from the day of delivery, will be exchanged for the same make and model where possible. We will ask you to arrange the return of the faulty item to us for testing before the replacement item is shipped. Initially this will be at your cost, however, if the item is faulty we will agree, arrange your replacement and credit you or your account with the shipping cost (proof of cost required). We check and test all items returned as damaged or defective. In the event the item is NFF (No Fault Found), we reserve the right to return the original item to you and refuse to refund the postage costs you incur in shipping it to us.
Products that fail due to a manufacturing fault on the 29th day or more from the day of delivery (but still within the product’s guarantee period) will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. The only cost to you will be the insured shipping costs that you will incur in returning the product to us. In all cases we strongly advise you to return any item to us using the full insured value.
Ultimately, if you wish to return a product purchased from us we would like to talk to you first. After that, initiating the return process will be done using a completed RRA form which we will send to you with much of the info needed already completed. We will ask you to complete any outstanding information, signing it to confirm you understand the process identified here and any of your liabilities, and then email it back to us within 3 Business Days of issue. We will then reply to you by email as soon as possible to advise you of a returns identification number (so we can identify the returned package) and confirm any other return details you may need.
Products should arrive back with us within 7 days of us providing a returns identification number and instructions or further costs may be incurred.
For any items returned under our Returns Policy that are received back below their originally supplied condition, we reserve the right to return them to you, or to charge a degradation fee. We therefore ask that you ensure any items are complete and cartons are suitably protected from additional damage as best you can.
Yours.
