Returns procedures for faulty, unwanted & special order items

Need to get something back to us? We are happy to process any returns that meet our terms. Our procedures vary depending on whether the item is unwanted, faulty, special order but each one requires a valid RMA Number (Returned Material Authorisation) raising before we able to process the return.

See the full details for all types of returns at the bottom of this page.


You can raise an RMA Number using our form here: Returns Request Form.

Step 1. Report the fault: If you believe you have faulty goods, we ask that you first contact our Technical team to discuss the fault and advanced replacement. Our team can determine whether your item(s) are eligible for advanced replacements and confirm the procedure. 

Most suspected faults can be rectified either over the phone or via remote dial in support and if our team are unable to rectify the issue they will advise accordingly.

Approving an advanced replacement and returning the goods is not an admission that the product is at fault. Once received, we will perform further testing to deem the item(s) faulty or not faulty.


Step 2. Raise an RMA: If you have been advised to return the unit and you have requested an advanced replacement, you will need to raise an RMA Number which can be done using our form here: Returns Request Form.

It is important that you include that you have requested an advanced replacement, ensure all the required information is complete and accurate, as well as part number(s), quantity, serial number(s) & purchase date, or invoice number of the returned item(s).

Failure to correctly complete the RMA Request Form may result in your RMA being delayed in processing or potentially being denied and asked to resubmit.


Step 3. Replacement Unit: Once your RMA has been approved and are eligble for an advanced replacement, our Technical team will create a Sales Order for you including replacement unit(s), carriage and a collection (if needed).

This Sales Order will be created the same day and can be dispatched for standard next-day delivery or whenever you require it.

  • If you have a credit account, the SO will be dispatched using your available limit and requires no payment.
  • If you don't have a credit account, we will require an upfront payment to dispatch the SO.

Step 4. Return the Item(s): You will then have 14 days after the date of the advanced replacement to return the faulty item(s) to ourselves which will determine the result of the RMA:

  • With a credit account:
    • Once confirmed faulty, a Credit Note for the value of the SO will be issued to your account cancelling out the SO.
    • If deemed not faulty, the value of the SO will remain on your account and will be subject to your standard credit account payment terms.
  • Without a credit account:
    • Once confirmed faulty, a Credit Note for the value of the SO will be issued to your account available to spend on subsequent orders.
    • If deemed not faulty, no Credit Note will be issued.

All items being returned must be packaged carefully and appropriately to avoid any damage during transit and include all original leads, connectors, manuals & accessories etc. Please use the original product packaging where possible.

Please include your RMA Number in your shipping label or on paperwork inside the packaging (never mark the product packaging).
