Returns

We understand that occasionally you may wish to return something and when this happens we want to assure you of our full help and co-operation. To enable us to process your returns/warranty quickly and efficiently we ask you to carry out the following procedures:

  1. We must be notified of any shortages or damaged goods within three working days of your receipt of the order.
  2. Excepting warranty claims, cut to size and special order items, returns will be accepted within 30 days for any reason provided they have not been fitted (e.g. no evidence of marks, scratches or oil stains) and in their original undamaged packaging.
  3. Original postage and packaging charges are not eligible for refund unless due to a fulfilment error.
  4. If a return is received 30 to 60 days after purchase but otherwise qualifies as a return, a credit note minus a handling charge of 15% or £5 applied (whichever is greater) will be issued. If a return is received 61 days or more after purchase, no refund will be issued.
  5. A completed Returns Form must accompany the return. Items received with incorrect or incomplete documentation will not be processed. [Download Form (pdf)]
  6. We offer a simple return postage service using Royal Mail, please follow the instructions below.

  • Special order: any part specifically ordered for you e.g. gauges, shock absorbers, hats, number plates etc.
  • Cut to size/customised: any part cut to length or off a roll to your instruction and correctly supplied e.g. rubbers, metal, bonnet tape etc.

International Returns

Please refer to all allowances and restrictions above however as the postage/carriage of items will pass through the customs process it is advisable to contact the sales office by email, info@vintagesupplies.com or by telephone, +44 1684 212882 for assistance.

If you choose to return items without contacting us first you must state on all carrier documentation the reason for return as either ‘for repair’, ‘warranty item’, or ‘return’ to avoid unnecessary customs charges. Any charges incurred by Vintage Supplies will be deducted from the credit note issued.
Customs and duties paid to receive goods are outside of our control and you must request a refund directly from your local customs office and present proof of return. As the process varies by country and is subject to regular legislative amendments we can not provide any further advice on this.
