Returns & Refunds

General

If you have received incorrect parts or wish to return an order or part of an order then please notify us by e-mail sales@hificollective.co.uk within 90 days of the date of delivery. If notified outside of this 90-day window no refund will be offered. All returned parts must then be returned within 30 days.

Unwanted goods

With items that you are returning for the simple reason that you no longer require them then please use a trackable service, HFC will not be liable for any losses. We would only accept items that are received unused and not soldered. All return costs are at the expense of the customer.

Faulty Goods

If you have received items that arrive in a damaged condition or are faulty then please notify us by e-mail immediately. Please send these parts back by a low-cost shipping service, without tracking or insurance. We will refund any return costs that meet these requirements, accompanied by proof of payment (receipt).

Exchanges

  • We do not accept exchanges. We simply refund you for the parts that you have returned via the same method that you paid for them
  • You will need to make a new order for the correct parts (if you ordered incorrectly).
  • The only exception for exchanging parts would be if the parts were sent in error or if they arrived damaged and/or faulty.

Failure to deliver (delivery refused/non-communication with carrier/non-payment of import charges, where due)

Should customers refuse any International shipments at the point of import or at delivery, or neglect to provide the carrier with the requested documentation and/or payment for Customs Clearance, the parcel will be returned to HFC. This incurs a minimum charge of £25.00, which will be deducted from any refund amount or will be chargeable to you if looking to resend the parts.

Refunds

  • We do not offer refunds on custom items like built, stepped attenuators or inductors. Inductors are 'made-to-order' items.
  • IOSS & DDP (Pre-paid) - We cannot offer refunds on any 'Duty & taxes' pre-paid for at checkout. We can only refund the item's cost. All tax refunds must be submitted by the Importer (you) to your country's tax authorities.
  • All refund payments will be processed to the original payment method. Paypal or debit/credit card payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, could take up to 5-10 days for the funds to clear in your account.
