Returns Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ::
Q. What is Online Returns and why is it better for me to use than calling you to request a return?
A. We have developed Online Returns so that you can request to return something without the need to speak to one of our staff and therefore making the process quicker and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The RMA from start to finish is handled online so you can also see its status every step of the way.
Q. I have tried to raise a request but your system tells me that I have to call someone else. Why is this?
A. In certain cases, manufacturers provide support direct to end users. They do this for many reasons, the main one is that they would like to ensure that their customers receive the best possible support on their products. If we refer you to a manufacturer your RMA will invariably be dealt with a lot quicker.
Q. What is the best way for me to return my items to you?
A. We always advise our customers to use some form of delivery that requires a signature on delivery. The majority of items are returned to us using Royal Mail Recorded Delivery.
Q. I sent my item back to you but I didn't put the Returns number on the outside of the package as you requested, will this cause a problem processing my return?
A. If there is no Returns Merchandise Authorisation number ("RMA") on the outside of the package then there is a good chance that this will lead to delays of up to 7 days in processing your return. To avoid this delay, we recommend that if you wish to return goods you first obtain a RMA number by selecting ‘Need to return this product’ from the ‘Account / Previous Order / View’ menu and following the instructions.
Q. Am I able to use returns online to report other problems or issues that I am currently having?
A. The Returns section is designed for RMA requests only. Any other queries will be deleted.
Q. I have received an incorrect item, what should I do?
A. You should raise an RMA using the Online Returns system and return the item to us using a traceable and insured delivery agent (e.g. Recorded Delivery), please enclose a proof of postage receipt and we will fully reimburse you for the cost of the returning the item(s) back to us on the understanding that the item(s) has been supplied incorrectly.
Either add a note to the fault report when raising the RMA or raise an support ticket, if we find the item(s) have been originally supplied correctly a charge may be incurred.
