3.  No returns or exchanges are permitted on special order items, built to order items, custom order items, electronic products or body kits.

4.  Returning a product that you later found to be the wrong one shipped after you tried installing it’s not grounds for a return. You must notify us within 3 days of receipt so we can rectify the situation.
In this situation a store credit is likely to be given or the correct part supplied.

5.  All returns must be shipped freight prepaid from the buyer. We only pay the shipping cost back to your address.

6. Any products returned to us that not our own is an act of malice and fraud! Some items (and eventually all) contain hidden security identifiers which must be intact when we receive the product. We will not replace or return the product if it’s being passed off as one of our own or does not contain the marking. We will report such actions the postal service (for mail fraud) and any applicable local law enforcement. The item sent to us will be disposed of without further recompense.

8. Returning an item for a refund due to locating said item at a cheaper rate elsewhere is not grounds for a refund.

9. V-tech Australia imports most of the parts we sell direct from supplier to your door. We use very reliable and usually on time DHL. Shipping time is always estimated prior to shipping however this is not guaranteed. If shipping takes longer than expected this is out of our hands and will do the best we can to get information/ETA. Shipping taking longer than expected is not grounds for a refund.

10. If you go to your own fitter and they state product can not be fitted, we will send you to our local recommended fitter. Should they advise no issue - product can not be refunded.


If there is an issue we will discuss options and converse with shipping company prior to working out a solution.
Sometimes shipping does take longer – This is out of our control!

When a refund is issued, most times it will be in the means of a store credit and not of a cash refund.
We will discuss with you if there is an issue the possible solution. Each situation is different and we take this into account.
