Returns policy
When shopping with us we want to make this the best experience possible. If for any reason you wish to return something though, we are happy to help.
To make sure your return can be processed efficiently we will require our returns form to be included with all returned items. Please click here to print our returns form. (If you don’t have access to a printer this can be handwritten)
Returns Address:
Please note that we have different return addresses depending on the item to return. To obtain the return address, you have to raise a ticket via the helpdesk section of your account. Our support team will confirm if the item can be returned and provide you with:
- A RAN reference ( Returns Authorisation Number) and
- The returns address details.
Only after you have obtained the RAN and the return address, you can complete the Returns form and return the item.
Please select below the reason you wish to return your item and read through all the relevant information displayed:
Faulty / Defective
If your item has stopped functioning correctly we offer a 12 month warranty on goods, valid from the date of purchase. In the first instance though we would advise consulting the products manual as this would provide useful troubleshooting tips. If further assistance is required though, we would recommend contacting the manufacture directly. If the manufacture has been unable to resolve the problem please return this item back to us right away for replacement or refund.
If you have an item that develops a fault after 6 months, we may request engineers report or information from the manufacture to confirm that the fault is inherent. Please note that items that appear physically damage will be rejected if this is believed to have been caused due to misuse or general wear and tear. Our decision is final on all returns.

To prevent this please explore every possible avenue to try and get your product operating as it should be before returning and contact the manufacturer if necessary for assistance.
