1. Eligibility for Returns
1.1 Timeframe
Standard Return Period: You have 7 days from when you receive your goods to request a return. This period allows you ample time to review your purchase and decide if it meets your expectations.
Holiday Return Period: For purchases made during public holidays, we extend the return period to 14 days. This extension ensures you have sufficient time to return items purchased during busy holiday seasons.
1.2 Condition of Items
Original Condition: To be eligible for return, items must be in their original condition. This means the product should be unused, unchanged, and in the same condition as when you initially received it. It should not show any evidence of wear or damage.
Original Packaging: The item must be returned in its original packing, including any boxes, bags, or protective items that were originally supplied. This helps to ensure that the item is safeguarded during the return shipping process and arrives in good condition.
Included Materials: All accessories, manuals, and documentation that came with the item must be included in the return. This includes items such as:
- Chargers, cables, and other accessories
- Instruction manuals and user guides
- Warranty cards and other documentation
Note: These materials are essential for the resale of the product and to ensure that future customers receive a complete package.
1.3 Proof of Purchase
Receipt or Proof of Purchase: A valid receipt or proof of purchase is required for all returns. This proof can come in various forms, such as:
- The original sales receipt provided at the time of purchase
- An electronic receipt or confirmation email for online purchases
- Bank statements showing the transaction
Note: This documentation verifies the transaction and confirms that the item was purchased from GadgetTrove, allowing us to handle your return more swiftly. We cannot authenticate the return without evidence of purchase, and your return request may be denied.
To ensure that all returns meet these conditions, we can facilitate returns more efficiently and uphold the high quality of our products. If you have any questions or need help with your return, please contact our customer service team.
