Returns Policy

Our returns policy for parts bought from our online shop.

Last Updated: October 2026

The Short Version

Please read this before you buy a part

  • Parts aren't sold on a “try it and see” basis. If you buy a part to find out whether it fixes your console and it doesn't, you can't return it for that reason. Not sure what's wrong? Let us diagnose it for you first.
  • A fitted electronic part counts as used. Once a power supply, board, chip, laser, port, ribbon or cable has been fitted, connected, powered up or soldered, we can't take it back for a change of mind or refund it.
  • Changed your mind? You can cancel within 7 days of delivery if the part is unused, with no restocking fee. You pay the return postage.
  • Days 8 to 14: we'll still take back an unused part as a goodwill return, but a 20% restocking fee is deducted.
  • Faulty on arrival? Test the part as soon as you get it and tell us within 48 hours, before you go any further with fitting it.
  • Sent back as faulty but it works? We send it back to you, you pay the courier both ways, and there's no refund.
  • Check your part when the courier delivers it or when you collect it from us.

A part that's faulty when it arrives is handled under our Warranty Policy.

Returns & Cooling-Off

Changed your mind? (7-day online cooling-off)

Because you bought online, you can cancel within 7 days of delivery for any reason — you don't have to explain. The part must be unused and not installed, and complete with its original packaging (it's fine to open the box and look). Tell us within 7 days, send it back (return postage is for your account), and we refund what you paid — no restocking fee — once we receive it.

This applies to new, pulled and refurbished parts alike. It doesn't apply to a part specially ordered to your specification.

Our extra goodwill window (days 8–14)

Beyond the 7-day cooling-off, we'll still accept an unused, un-installed part up to 14 days from purchase as a goodwill return.

  • •A 20% restocking fee is deducted from every goodwill return
  • •The part must be unused and never fitted, connected or powered up
  • •It must be complete, in its original packaging, with any seals or labels on the part still intact
  • •Return shipping costs are for the customer's account

Parts Aren't Sold on a “Try It and See” Basis

Please only buy a part once you know it's the part your console needs. A part bought to test whether it fixes a fault can't be returned because it didn't fix the fault. That isn't a fault in the part, and once it's been fitted we have no way of knowing whether it was damaged along the way.

Not sure what's wrong with your console?

Our technicians can find the fault for you before you spend money on parts. See our repair service or WhatsApp us on 087 550 2307.

Can't Be Returned for Change of Mind

Faulty on arrival or wrong item?

The list below is about change-of-mind returns. A part that was faulty on arrival and reported within 48 hours is handled under our Warranty Policy, and a wrong item we sent is covered below.

  • ✗A part that has been installed, soldered, or used
  • ✗An electronic part (power supply, board, chip or IC, laser lens, port, ribbon or cable) that has been fitted, connected, powered up or soldered
  • ✗Loose electronic components once opened or tested, where we can't confirm they're unused
  • ✗A part damaged after delivery, or missing its parts or packaging

When we treat a part as fitted

If a returned part shows any sign of having been fitted, we treat it as fitted. That includes:

  • •Screw marks, or marks on its connectors or plugs
  • •A broken seal, sticker or label on the part
  • •Solder or flux on it
  • •Heat marks or discolouration

Why These Restrictions?

Once a part has been installed or used, we can't verify its condition or resell it, and there's no way to tell whether it was damaged during fitting. A part's condition-grade (new, pulled or refurbished) doesn't change this — what matters is whether it's been used or installed.

Returned as Faulty, but It Works

If you send a part back as faulty and our test finds nothing wrong with it, we send it back to you. You pay the courier both ways, and there's no refund. If our test confirms it was faulty on arrival, we cover the courier both ways, as set out in our Warranty Policy.
