General Returns Procedure
Contact Us
We try to be good people here at Firetoys so we fully comply with the Distance Selling Regulations (DSR) and, in fact, go well beyond their minimum standards.
You MUST contact us first before returning an item. This helps us process your return much more quickly. Sometimes it is not necessary to send the item back and we'll just ask for a photo before replacing or refunding your order.
The Information We'll Need
Should we need you to return the item please enclose a covering letter containing your name and, VERY IMPORTANTLY, the address you would like the replacement shipped to, order ID, sales channel (i.e. Firetoys website, ebay or Amazon), reason for return, your email address and telephone number then pack up the item and take it to the post office. It is IMPORTANT that you get and keep hold of proof of postage because if the returned item gets lost in the post you will be responsible for it and we won't be able to replace or refund the item.
Packaging Your Return
Please make sure the return packaging is suitable. The packaging we use to send your order to you is intended to protect the goods during that journey only. You may need to add extra protection or repackage the items before returning them to us. It's not a bad idea to photograph the packaging before you send it to us. This will help to resolve any disputes in the unlikely event your parcel is damaged on its way back to us. We also recommend you insure the parcel for an appropriate amount.What Happens Next
Once the item(s) comes back to us we will check everything to make sure it is in order and process the refund/exchange as agreed. If we need to get in touch we will do so via details in your order or any preferred contact that you include with the return. We aim to process returns at least once per week. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you need to know what the status of your return is. We ask that you understand that at busy times we may prioritise other tasks but will endeavour to process your return as quickly as is possible. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.Unwanted Goods
60 Day Returns
We have a “no questions asked” 60 day returns policy, meaning you can return any item within 60 days of you receiving it for any reason. The only thing we ask is that the item(s) are in an “as new” condition and complete with all packaging and components.
Refunds
As long as the items are "as new" and the return is initiated within 60 days of receiving the items we will replace or refund the full price of the items. We will also refund the the shipping charges you paid on the order but only up to the standard rate (for example, if you paid for express shipping we will only refund the value of standard shipping).
Who Pays Return Shipping Costs?
You are responsible for the return postage charges, which will vary depending on the size of the item(s) returned.
Remember
Please contact us before you return your item so we can advise on delivery. If you return a product to us that is not in an “as new” condition we reserve the right to return the product to you, or refund you with Firetoys credit vouchers instead of crediting your payment card.
Faulty and Incorrect Products
12 Month Warranty
Almost all of the products we stock are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects for one year. In the unlikely event of a product being defective or us sending you the wrong item please contact us to discuss the problem.
Returning, Refunding or Replacing
Depending on the nature of the problem we may or may not require the item to be returned to us. If we do need the item returned we will cover all return postage costs. Whether we refund or replace the item will also depend on the situation but rest assured that we will make things right.
