Product Assessment for Damaged or Faulty Products 

We may need to conduct an assessment of your product to determine whether a repair, replacement or refund is appropriate. Particular technical products may also need to be sent to the manufacturer or their repair agent for assessment, such as:

  • Sound, electrical and motor driven products
  • Compressors
  • Power tools; and
  • Customer orders – non-store stock items

If a product assessment is required you will be notified and at this time we will also advise you of an estimated assessment completion time for your product, and when you may expect to be contacted with the findings. It can be expected that if your product is sent to the manufacturer additional time may be required that our normal assessment time frames. In this instance we will endeavor to continually keep you informed about the assessment process and provide you with the findings as soon as possible.

 

Liaising with the Manufacturer

For some product assessments, we may have to liaise directly with the manufacturer, or their repair agent. Products assessed as having a minor fault may be repaired by the manufacturer and returned to you within a reasonable time. We offer a refund or replacement if the product is assessed as having a major failure.
