> Introduction
We understand that from time to time you may wish to return a product to us.
We have created this returns policy to enable you to return products to us in appropriate circumstances.
This returns policy applies to customers in England and Wales.
All returns require a Return Request Form to be completed within 7 days following delivery of the product.
This policy does not affect any statutory rights you may have such as consumer rights under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

REPLACEMENT LAMPS
AV Parts Master provides an unprecedented 90 day warranty on all lamps for any brand for faults due to defective materials or workmanship. The warranty commences from the day of dispatch from AV Parts Master and is extended if the manufacturers warranty is longer than 90 days. However, before returning any item, please read through the following terms and exceptions.
PROJECTORS, SCREENS AND OTHER ITEMS
All new products (except Replacement Lamps) come with a minimum 12 months manufacturers warranty. We manage this for some manufacturers, others require you to contact them direct. Please contact us to inquire about the warranty on your product.
CLEARANCE ITEMS
Please note, our clearance and graded stock can vary with regards to warranty. Be sure to enquire when purchasing.
DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE GOODS
If goods arrive in a damaged or defective condition you must sign for the goods as damaged or as unchecked. Then you must notify us within 3 days of the delivery. If the goods are damaged in transit, please repack the items exactly as they were on arrival and contact us. Do not move the items to another address; the courier company may insist a damage inspection is necessary, or request a photo of the damage. If the goods are removed from the delivery address or the packing is discarded it can invalidate your shipping insurance.
Provided both our terms and the courier’s terms have been adhered to, the goods will be either exchanged or refunded. If we find the goods are not defective, they will be returned to you and you will be charged for any administration and carriage costs.
With regards to damaged items, we must be notified within the first three days from receipt to qualify for our insurance, unfortunately any claim outside this period cannot be supported. With regards to faulty goods, we must be notified within the first month to qualify for a collection. From the returns authorisation number’s issue date, you have 28 days to get the item(s) back to us by the relevant method.
In the unlikely event an item is defective, damaged or incorrect through an error on our part, we will collect the item (s) with our courier (before we can do this we require confirmation of your availability).
ORDERED IN ERROR / NO LONGER REQUIRED
If the wrong item is ordered in error, in most cases we will take the item back subject to a minimum 20% restocking fee of the price you paid. All items must be returned in their “original unopened condition” with all seals intact. Special purchase items are non-cancellable / returnable, you will be advised of such items at point of purchase.
INCORRECT PRODUCT SUPPLIED
We work hard to ensure the right product is shipped to you but in the event that an incorrect item is shipped we will credit the item in full once returned. Please consult with our sales team before ordering a replacement to ensure that we do not repeat the error.
CREDIT
We only issue credits for returned products once the item has been returned and checked. Please note, credits can take up to 7 days to be processed once the goods are received back with us.
