Returning Damaged Or Faulty Products | Karcher Center JHS

Returning Damaged or Faulty Products

At Karcher Center JHS, we aim to make the process of returning a damaged or faulty product simple and straightforward, resolving issues as quickly as possible.

When You Can Return a Product

You can return a product if:

  • It was delivered damaged.
  • It appears to be faulty upon delivery.
  • It develops a fault within 30 days of delivery.

Please note: Damage to the external packaging only (e.g., the box) is not considered product damage if the contents themselves are intact.

Returning a Damaged Product

We apologise for any inconvenience caused if your product arrives damaged. We offer several ways to resolve this:

  • Minor Damage / Replacement Parts:
    • If the damage is minor and can be fixed with a replacement part, we will send the part for you to fit.
    • You may also receive a small partial refund as compensation.
  • Extensive Damage / Collection Required:
    • For more significant damage, or if you prefer not to make the repair yourself, we can arrange a pre-paid Royal Mail returns label for smaller items. You can drop off the package at a Parcel Postbox, Delivery Office, Post Office® Branch, or ParcelShop.
    • For large or heavy items, we will contact you to arrange a convenient collection date.

Returning a Faulty Product

If your product appears faulty or develops a fault within 30 days:

  • Call Customer Support Assistance:
    • Call 01502 563846 to speak with our customer services team.
    • Simple diagnostics may resolve the issue without needing to return the product.
  • Returning the Product:
    • If the fault cannot be resolved remotely, we will provide a pre-paid Royal Mail label for smaller items.
    • For larger items, we will arrange a collection at a convenient time.
    • Ensure that you have included the Return Slip provided with your product(s) and that it is completed correctly. If you have mislaid or disposed of this you can request a duplicate Return Slip using the form below.

What Happens When You Return a Damaged or Faulty Product

Once we receive and inspect your item, we may offer you the following solutions:

  • Repair:
    • We will repair the product to full function at no cost.
    • This does not affect any future warranty or consumer rights.
  • Replacement:
    • At Karcher UK’s sole discretion, we may replace the product with a new one free of charge.
    • The replacement’s warranty runs from the original purchase date.
  • Full Refund:
    • You may request a full refund, including any delivery costs paid at the time of ordering.

What Happens if No Fault or Damage is Found

    If our inspection shows no damage or fault:

    • We can return the product to you on a mutually convenient date via our delivery partners.
      • Because no fault was found, the cost of the return will be charged. Our customer services team will contact you to arrange payment.
    • Alternatively, if you do not wish to have the product returned, you may request a refund within 30 days of purchase.
      • In this case, the cost of return shipping (Royal Mail or DX Express) will be deducted from your final refund amount.
