Returns
Whilst CMS Peripherals 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 CMS, 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)
CMS Peripherals 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.

Damaged On Arrival
If a shipment from CMS Peripherals Ltd arrives at your site and appears to have been damaged in transit, please do one of the following. Either, refuse the goods as damaged, and inform our Customer Services Departments within 24 hours of refusing the delivery. Or, sign for the goods as damaged and inform our Customer Services Departments within 24 hours of signing for the delivery. Customer Services will coordinate the resolution of any such issue as speedily as possible.

Delivery Discrepancies (Incorrect goods delivered)
In the unlikely event that you receive do not match the products that you ordered then you may have been shipped the wrong product or our warehouse team may have picked and shipped the wrong items. Please advise our Customer Services Department within 24 hours of receipt of the goods. Also if you have received more, or less goods than you ordered, then please advise our Customer Services Department within 24 hours of receipt of the order. Once a full investigation has been carried out by our Customer Services and Stock Control Departments, and the facts have been established, we will ensure that the correct action(s) are carried out as swiftly as possible.

Goods Incorrectly Ordered
At our discretion we will accept the return of goods if you or your customer has ordered the wrong product. Incorrectly ordered goods must be returned in the original packaging with seals, static bags etc unbroken. You may be subjected to a Restocking Charge (normally 10%) on any product that is incorrectly ordered. We ask that you sign the RMA request form in agreement to this charge.

Incorrect Delivery Address
In the unlikely event that we ship to a wrong delivery address, or have received the wrong delivery details from you, our Customer Services Department will do our utmost to ensure that the goods are redirected to the correct address as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this will normally result in a delay of 24 hours.
