RETURNS, DAMAGES/DISCREPANCIES

The Buyer must inspect the condition of the goods immediately upon receipt and report in writing, within 7 days (including Saturday and Sunday) from such inspection, via email, to the seller of any damaged or discrepancies of goods. If the buyer fails to give such notice the condition of the said goods shall be deemed to be in all respects in accordance with the contract and the buyer shall be bound to accept and pay for the same accordingly. Please ensure the persons unwrapping the items are very careful to keep the packaging intact. This is essential in preventing the items being damaged on return. Under no circumstances can we accept returns that do not have their original packaging.

The Seller is unable to accept returns for items that have not been ordered and delivered by DOCK & BAY. The Seller will not be held responsible for any damages incurred via a third-party carrier/couriers including own transport. The Seller will not accept items returned for credit (except for manufacturing faults) when the buyer has used a third-party carrier to collect or deliver goods from an alternative delivery address to the original delivery. It is recommended that the Buyer ensures any transport companies, collecting or delivering on the Buyer’s behalf, have the necessary insurance in place.

Goods are not accepted by the Seller for return from the Buyer without the prior consent of the seller.

All returned goods are subjected to a full Quality Control inspection before any decision regarding refund is made. DOCK & BAY has the final say on whether an item is defective or not. The value of the refund issued to the Buyer is at the Seller's discretion and each case will be considered on its own merit. When the decision to refund has been made a Credit Note will be issued on your DOCK & BAY wholesale account. It is at the discretion of DOCK & BAY to refund to the original payment method.
