Goods Damaged in Transit — 48-Hour Inspection

While all consignments are packed with heavy-duty shock-absorbing packaging, rough courier handling can occasionally cause damage:

  • Delivery Inspection: Please check outer carton integrity before signing. If the outer carton is crushed, torn, or re-taped with carrier tape, ask the courier to record “Damaged on Delivery”.
  • 48-Hour Reporting: Contact our team within 48 hours of delivery with clear digital photographs of:
    • The damaged outer packaging and courier shipping label.
    • The internal tool case or packaging.
    • The specific damage to the tool body, chuck, motor casing, or accessory.
  • Upon receipt of photos, we arrange an immediate priority replacement dispatch or issue a full refund without waiting for carrier insurance claim resolution.
02

Manufacturing Defects & Dead on Arrival (DOA)

If an item fails out of the box (e.g. cordless drill does not engage, battery will not accept charge, charger LED flashes red error code):

⏱️ First 30 Days (Short-Term Rejection)

Under CRA 2015 s.22, you have the absolute legal right to reject the tool for a 100% full refund or free immediate exchange.

πŸ”§ 30 Days to 6 Months

Under CRA 2015 s.23, the fault is legally presumed to have existed at delivery. Biovertexa UK provides free repair or replacement.

πŸ“œ 6 Months to 6 Years

Covered by our 1-year retailer warranty and manufacturer extended warranties (3-year DeWalt/Milwaukee/Makita guarantee).

03

100% Free Prepaid Return Shipping

In full compliance with UK consumer law, customers will NEVER pay return postage for faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied tools:

  • We generate and email a prepaid DPD Drop-Off or Royal Mail Tracked Return Label within 4 business hours.
  • For heavy tools or contractor kits over 15kg, we arrange a free courier doorstep collection from your home or site address.
  • Zero deduction for restocking, handling, or administrative fees (£0.00 Restocking Fee).

Damaged Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Protocols (UN3481)

⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY NOTICE — DO NOT POST DAMAGED BATTERIES:
Under UK ADR Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations and Royal Mail Dangerous Goods terms, severely damaged, swollen, cracked, leaking, or hot lithium-ion battery packs are classified as hazardous and CANNOT be returned via standard post.

If you suspect an 18V/54V battery pack is physically damaged:

  • Immediately disconnect the pack from the charger and tool; store in an open, non-combustible outdoor area.
  • Send photos of the battery casing and serial barcode to rosazgs254zapata@outlook.com.
  • Upon visual review, Biovertexa UK will issue an immediate replacement without requiring you to return the hazardous damaged pack. We will guide you to your local UK municipal hazardous WEEE battery recycling facility.
05

Warehouse Diagnostics & Inspection SLA

Returned tools arrive at our Maidenhead facility and undergo technical evaluation:

  • 48-Hour Diagnostic SLA: Certified tool technicians test motor windings, battery terminal resistance, trigger potentiometers, and gearbox integrity within 48 business hours of receipt.
  • Validation: Once the defect is verified, your chosen remedy (replacement dispatch or full refund) is processed immediately.
  • Non-Faulty Goods: If a tool tests 100% operational (e.g. incorrect battery seating or tripped overload thermal switch), our technician will contact you to provide technical advice before re-dispatching the tool at no extra cost.
06

Settlement: Refund vs. Replacement Processing

You have full autonomy over your remedy under the Consumer Rights Act 2015:

πŸ”„ Priority Replacement

Dispatched via DPD Next-Day delivery with brand new serial number and fresh warranty tracking.

πŸ’³ 100% Full Refund

Processed to original card/PayPal within 3–5 working days, including any initial delivery charges paid.
