Refund Policy
RETURNS
----
- Our return policy is geared towards faulty goods and NOT change of mind.
- Our policy lasts 90 days beginning from the date and time of checkout. If 90 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.
- To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that it was sold. It must also be in the original packaging (if applicable).
- A simple "Change of mind" will not be accepted
- If an item is faulty or defective, we will accept the return for repair and cover all shipping costs.
- We have photographic evidence of the condition of each item at the time of sale. We know the serial numbers and identification marks. Any attempt to return a item that was not originally sold by us will be reported to authorities as fraud.
- MUST NOT BE MODIFIED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY
Several types of goods are exempt from being returned.
- Tempered items. If there is evidence of screws being removed or our tamper labels damaged to gain entry to a console/game then warranty is VOID and cannot be returned.
- Consumable parts and items
- Dangerous goods such as batteries
- Items in "sealed condition". These items are valuable because they are sealed, so if you open them and change your mind they lose all value and cannot be returned. Buyer agrees to this and takes responsibility at time of checkout.
Additional non-returnable items:
- Gift cards
- Downloadable software products
- Damaged goods
- Spare parts that require soldering
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase which is your order number and name.
