Returns
Whilst Athema Services Ltd only supply new products from reputable manufactures,
occasionally items develop faults beyond our control, or, alternatively the
wrong products may have been ordered by the end user. In such cases Athema, in
line with our Terms & Conditions, have the returns procedures as shown below. It
should be noted that some of our Manufacturers provide warranties that require
our customers and your clients to deal direct with their own returns department.
For more information please contact Customer Services.
Dead On Arrival (DOA)
Athema Services Ltd will offer a standard warranty period of seven days from
purchase date on all products. Within this seven day period, any product that is
confirmed as being DOA by our Customer Services Department will then be issued a
Returns Number. Customers who receive a DOA product should pursue an Advance
Replacement. The replacement goods will be delivered on the next working day
(subject to stock availability). The value of the faulty items will be credited
to your account upon receipt of said faulty items.
Warranty Returns
If your product goes faulty after the seven-day standard DOA warranty, the
return of this item will then have to comply with the original Manufacturer’s
Warranty. In some cases this will be dealt with directly by the manufacturer.
Simply submit a RMA Request form to our Customer Services and we’ll advise if
you need to contact the manufacturer direct or whether we can handle the return
on your behalf.
