Returns
We hope you won’t need it but here’s all the info on returning an item:
What is your returns policy?
If, for any reason, you would like to return an item this must be done within 14 days of receiving your order. Any item being returned must be unused and in the original packaging.
You will need to follow these steps:
- Contact us, stating that you wish to return the item.
- In the event of damaged goods, we will either a) arrange for a carrier to collect the item(s) from you and return them to us (at no cost to yourself) or b) send you a returns label and ask you to drop off the item at a specified location. We may require photos of the damage. On some occasions we may require you to dispose of the damaged item or sign a disclaimer that the item will not be used.
- In all other circumstances (for example if you change your mind about the item) you will be responsible for return postage/courier charges.
Please note:
Sterk Systems cannot be held responsible for non-delivery of returned goods – we recommend you get a certificate of posting from the Post Office or Courier.
We will refund unused item(s) that are received in re-saleable condition however, you will need to pay for the return carriage.
If collection of an unwanted item is required, we will charge you the cost of collection (up to £50. for large items) which will be notified at the time.
IMPORTANT: We will advise you of the relevant returns address depending on the product.
I received a faulty product, how will you handle this?
Please notify us ASAP (and at most within 48 hours) by email if the item is faulty so that we can either arrange for a spare part or a full replacement to be sent. We will require photos as proof of any damage to goods received. This will help us to make a claim for you with either the courier or the manufacturer.
