Unlimited Life Time Policy

Certain goods will have Unlimited lifetime warranty. For more information on this warranty, visit our lifetime warranty page.

Truly unlimited - no restrictions on how many times a warranty can be claimed, this means if you receive a faulty part from us, we will happily exchange this for you at any time after purchase, whether it’s the first time or the fourth.

Truly lifetime - no time restrictions on claims, this means if you receive a faulty part from us, we will exchange this faulty part for you at any time after the order has been placed.

Fast turnaround - we won’t keep you waiting, we will always help troubleshoot the issue on any claim to ensure that the issue will be fixed with a replacement. We’ll aim to ship a replacement item from our UK warehouse once we have received the faulty part and it has been thoroughly tested. Higher tier trade account types have the option of cross shipping faulty items with us. So as not to wait for the item to be returned and tested.

If we no longer stock the part, we will source a replacement. If that isn’t possible, we will issue store credit for the agreed market value of the part to be used at our store.

What is covered in our warranty? Typically, we cover general failure of the part (e.g. for a screen, lines on the screen, or for a charge port that might need wiggling to start charging etc.). We do not cover water damage, user damage (smashed/dropped/knocked) or damage caused while fitting the part.

Faulty Goods / Guarantee

If you ever encounter a fault with any of our goods, please notify us by email or in writing providing details of the fault.

We will always deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.

All goods are covered by a warranty against faulty supplier workmanship and materials, subject to the terms and conditions of the warranty.

The warranty is provided in addition to the rights that the law says you have as a consumer and accordingly, your statutory rights are not affected.

If an exchange is necessary, this will be arranged without unreasonable delay and without charge. Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have been received at our warehouse and checked unless at our discretion.

The cost of returning faulty goods to us, outside of the 30 days after you have purchased the part is your responsibility, however, on inspection we may refund your reasonable postage costs, providing that the goods are found to be faulty. If the goods are not faulty, we will return them to you, however, you will be required to cover our reasonable postage costs.

In the event of a replacement, if an item is no longer available, we will offer an alternative. However, our liability will be to replace the faulty goods only and we are unable to guarantee an exact match. In this instance, you will be offered a store credit or refund.
