We provide one free refurbished battery replacement during the period and also provide an option to purchase a brand-new battery at discounted prices.

Refunds

Please do your research on all products before ordering from our store. Contact us if you need help to determine which product is appropriate for your needs.

Contact is required for a full/partial refund and the item/s must be received by us before refund instalment can be handled. All parts/items of the products must be returned to us for the refund. Any missing parts/items may delay the refund process or a partial refund provided to you until all parts/items are received by us.

Refund instalment will be the amount of the customer’s purchase price of the product as reflected on the invoice minus any extra fees such as a prepaid return label provided by us. Refunds will be processed either by PayPal, direct bank transfer or any other payment services. If payment of the item by the customer was handled through PayPal then the refund instalment can be refunded through PayPal.
