RMA Process

How to submit

All returns require an approved RMA (Return Merchandise Authorisation) before any product is sent back.

To submit an RMA:

  1. Log into your B2B account
  2. Navigate to My Account → RMA / Returns
  3. Select the relevant order and product
  4. Provide a fault description and supporting images (if required)
  5. Submit the request for review

Returns sent without an approved RMA will not be accepted.

What happens after submission

Once an RMA is submitted:

  • The request is reviewed by our support team
  • Additional information or images may be requested
  • If approved, return instructions will be issued

Inspection and processing timelines vary depending on the product and reason for return.

RMA number rules

  • Each approved return is issued a unique RMA number
  • The RMA number must be clearly marked on all return packaging
  • Products received without a valid RMA number will be rejected

RMA numbers are valid for a limited period and expire if the product is not returned within the specified timeframe.
