RETURNS, REPAIRS OR EXCHANGES PROCESS


Step 1: Get in contact with us
If an item develops a fault, the first step is to email us to [email protected] or to call our store team on 020 7998 0905 to learn more about our returns.
You will then be put through to a product specialist in the field of your item. The product specialist will ask you questions and troubleshoot the fault to determine if it can be fixed without being returned.

Step 2: Troubleshoot
Check the manufacturer’s product website for known issues.
Check the item’s instruction manual for a troubleshooting section.
Check for visible marks which may suggest the item has been damaged.
Where applicable, ensure you have the latest drivers & software downloaded for hardware.
If an item works on a power supply or batteries, try using it on battery power only – the power supply itself may be at fault.
Any attempt to open items to try and repair them yourself will void your warranty!

Step 3: File a Return
If you are unable to resolve the problem yourself, and you wish to return goods under the 14-day refund policy, 30-day exchange policy or 1-year limited warranty policy, then please contact us. A customer service representative will get back to you soon after you have submitted your returns request.

Step 4: Post-Claim
You will be given an RMA number which you should quote whenever contacting us about your item. Depending on the nature of the return, your item will be inspected in-house and, if necessary, sent back to the manufacturer or a company specialising in the repair of your product. Your item will be repaired or exchanged as they see fit if under warranty. We will contact you to let you know when your repair is ready, and organise for you to collect your item, or for us to deliver your item to you.*

If your item develops a fault within the first 14 days of purchase, we will do our best to exchange your item as soon as possible.
