In order to ensure our customers receive the best level of service, we offer a comprehensive returns policy in the unlikely event that you are not 100% satisfied with your order. Please note that the following returns procedure must be followed, and failure to do so may result in us being unable to exchange goods or provide refunds.
If you wish to cancel your order, you can notify us by email using the contact us form before we have despatched the goods to you.
All goods carry a standard warranty offered under UK law. Please note this warranty only covers a manufacturing defect, not a fault caused by incorrect use or assembly. We cannot provide any warranty on electrical components once soldered or self-build components that have been installed. Additionally, batteries are classed as "consumables" and as such we will only provide a dead on arrival warranty. Please check your order as soon as you receive it, if there is any concerns please contact us. Any faulty goods must be reported within 3 days of receiving them.
You should inform us of items that have been damaged during delivery within 24 hours of receipt so we can make the appropriate claims. Parcels that are delivered and show signs of damage must be signed for as damaged with the delivery agent.
You will need to apply for a RMA number before returning any products faulty or otherwise. This will be issued via email along with a return address; any items returned without a RMA number will not be accepted. To receive an RMA number please use click here.
If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can return goods you have ordered from us within 14 days of receipt for a refund or exchange, this is in compliance with consumer contracts 'distance selling' regulations. After the 14 days, the sale is considered final. If the 14 day period has passed, or your item has modified in some way and is no longer working, we will still be happy to attempt to resolve your issue. Technical issues can often be resolved without the need to ship things back to us. Please note UK online distance selling rules apply, except for tailor made custom orders which are exempt and may not be returned.
Upon receipt of the goods we will give you a refund of the amount paid excluding the delivery charge and payment transaction fees (typically around 3 percent). If the return is due to Flying Tech making a mistake or your goods are proven to be faulty, we will also refund appropriate postage costs where applicable up to a maximum of £7.50. International customers will be responsible for all return postage costs, including return shipping costs. Returned items must be returned to us in the original, saleable condition. Any returns that have been damaged, scratched, programmed, or used in anyway will not be accepted. If the returned item is not suitable for re-sale then we do reserve the right to refuse a refund.
A 20% restocking fee will be applied for items returned that have been opened this is because we need to fully test the item before placing back on sale in our store. Also we recommend using a recorded delivery or insurance for valuable items. Flying Tech is not responsible for returns that never make it back to us.
Please also note we can be very busy at times and therefore it is usually anything between 2 - 14 working days to test items sent to us.
