RETURNS POLICY

The Motor Control Warehouse warranty policy is shown under our ‘Terms and Conditions’ section of our website. 

The Motor Control Warehouse operates a ‘Return to Base’ warranty policy. 

Invertek Drives Ltd products have a warranty period of 24 months from date of manufacture.

All other products have a warranty period of 12 months unless prior agreement with MCW.

On any engineered system containing sub components, potentially faulty sub-components will be covered within the agreed warranty period (12 months from date of despatch to customer).  Any labour required and supplied by MCW to replace these components will be charged at an agreed rate.

The warranty status of any returned product is determined at the sole discretion of Motor Control Warehouse and/or their suppliers after inspection and testing of the product.

Returns Authorisation

Before any products are returned to MCW, you must contact us for a GRN (Goods Returns Number).

Returns & Replacements

A ‘return’ is described as a product that was incorrectly ordered by the customer.

Products being returned to MCW must be appropriately packaged so that the original product packaging is not subject to damage, i.e. product boxes must be in their original condition as supplied.  The cost of returning the product to MCW must be prepaid by the sender.

For each package being returned, please include the GRN number on the packing slip and on the outside of the package so it can be clearly identified.

Note:  Goods being returned without a GRN will not be accepted.

Returns are only accepted with the prior agreement of MCW.  A restocking/handling fee of 40% of the original net cost may be applied.  This will be at the discretion of MCW.

Returns will only be accepted provided the goods are received back in their original package and in an unused condition within 30 days of despatch.

Damaged or used goods cannot be refunded.

Any goods received by the customer in a damaged condition must be notified within 24 hours.

If a replacement of goods is required, the customer will not be reimbursed for the original shipping cost and will be charged for the shipping of the replacement product.

Refunds will be made to the payment method chosen at the time of the order being placed.

Warranty Repairs

A warranty repair applies to a product that fails under normal use conditions during the warranty period.  Warranty repairs are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

If a product has been modified in any way or found to contain damage which is outside the conditions of use, the warranty will be deemed to be void.  This will be at the discretion of MCW or its suppliers.
