Delivery Information
We request that any goods that develop faults are reported as soon as possible. If a fault develops within the first 14days of ownership we are happy to arrange an uplift of the goods. In all other instances, the return postage of the goods to be tested will need to be covered by the sender. It is important that you obtain proof of posting as the goods are your responsibility until they are received by us. We can only refund postage costs if goods are returned within this period and purchased under our Replacement Policy.
You need to agree a delivery service prior to shipping as we will only refund standard or tracked shipping fees, we are not able to refund the cost of any special delivery service. We cannot refund postage for good returned for any other reason and we reserve the right to deduct our original postage cost and a restocking fee from any refund applicable.
