Warranty Terms

1. Standard Warranty

   All products are covered by a 6-month warranty against defects or poor quality from the date of delivery. However, this warranty doesn't apply to consumable goods due to their expiry dates.

2. Manufacturer Warranty

   Some products have manufacturer warranties, where the supplier or manufacturer manages defective returns directly. In such cases, please contact the supplier or manufacturer directly.

Charges and Refunds

If a defective product is returned without all of the accessories and parts sold with it, we may refuse the return, replace only the returned item, or estimate the value of the missing parts for a refund. If you return a product that doesn't comply with this policy, you may have to reimburse us for the cost of collecting and returning the product. Refunds will be made to the original payment method.

• Courier costs for faulty items under warranty are covered by PriceDrop, unless assessed as non-faulty or user damage, where the customer may be liable for return cost.

Unwanted Items

You can return non-faulty items within 7 days of receipt, subject to certain conditions.
