- 7. Shipping and Returns
- The information contained in Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions is also available here: Shipping & Returns
- 7.1 Pricing and Service We employ reliable courier services to ensure that our packages get to where they are intended safely, securely and on time. We offer free standard next week-day shipping to most parts of the UK excluding some offshore and remote areas. Shipping costs to countries other than the UK can be found during the checkout process. All orders are tracked. You will receive your tracking number once your order has been dispatched
- 7.2 Returns Any returns should be sent via recorded delivery and be packaged well to ensure that the items are not damaged in transit. We have the right to deny a return or charge a re-working or re-stocking fee if we believe the item has been damaged due to neglect or tampered with by the customer. Please contact us at sales@startermotoralternator.com for further details and a returns reference number
- 7.3 Cooling off period (distance selling regulations) If for any reason you change your mind about an order you must notify us within 14 days of receiving the order and return no later than 30 days from making the request. The item must be unused, unfitted, and complete. This is in effect from the day you receive the order. This excludes any custom special order items. The customer is liable for the cost of return postage for return requests of this nature
- 7.4 Guarantee/Warranty If for any reason your item was damaged in transit during shipping from us, is genuinely faulty (this will have to be determined by both parties, the supplier and customer), or is simply the wrong item. You must notify us within 14 days of receiving the order and return no later than 30 days from making the request. This is in effect from the day you receive the order. We are not liable for the cost of return postage for return requests of this nature. A wrongly fitted part which has resulted in damage will not be liable for refund. This will be determined by both parties (customer and supplier, please see Terms and Conditions for more details). We guarantee you will receive a premium product, fully tested and free from defect (See Returns section (7.2) in the event this guarantee has not been met). We do not sell low quality or import products. All our products are made with high quality components and match or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications. However, if anything does happen, your item will be under warranty from the day you receive the order. This is a standard 2 year warranty. If for any reason your unit fails within that time and it can be determined that the failure was a result of normal use and not a fault with the vehicle and/or incorrect fitment which has resulted in a damaged product, the product can be returned to us. If an item fails within the warranty period, the item needs to be returned back to us for inspection at your cost. The item will be tested by us and either repaired and returned or replaced at our cost. If the item is deemed to be faulty then any postage costs incurred to return the item would also be refunded providing the item has failed due to manufacturing defect and not a fault with the vehicle and/or incorrect fitment which has resulted in a damaged product. NO labour charges or expenses incurred for installing or removing this part will be covered. If the item you send back to us is found to be working, you will be contacted and advised accordingly. In the case that a product is supplied with a ‘Return to Supplier Warranty’, any products sent back under warranty in the 2-year warranty period will be sent back to the supplier for a warranty test & report. The product will then be bench tested to OE specification and stripped down to determine the cause of premature failure. If this product is inspected and found to be working in the test report, or has not failed due to a manufacturing defect, this will be rejected for credit. In this situation we reserve the right not to replace or refund your order. There will be a technical note included in the box with your order advising of this. However, we always try our best and be as understanding of the situation as possible and will try our best to come to an agreement with the supplier in the best interests of the customer. In addition, a postage fee of £10 may be payable to have the item sent back to you, due to misdiagnosis. Alternatively you can arrange your own collection. By purchasing this part, you are agreeing to our warranty terms.
