    Customers wishing to return goods from outside of the United Kingdom must state within all courier and customs documentation the reason for the return as being  ‘Returned for repair’ or “Warranty Return”. This is to avoid MGOC Spares Ltd incurring customs charges (VAT & Duty) for goods returned under warranty outside of the United Kingdom.  Please note, that any customs charges incurred by MGOC Spares Ltd on goods returned outside of the United Kingdom will be chargeable to the customer.

  • Old Unit Returns (Customer Own Units, One for One, and Exchange)
    How does it work? 
    Some items are no longer available brand new and so we offer refurbished items on an exchange basis. In order for us to carry on providing these items, we need your core units returned to be refurbished in the future, and we charge a surcharge so that we can then cover us if we need to purchase old units but also as an incentive for you to return the old unit.
     
    There are 3 types of refurbished items and you will see the following references on those items 
     

    Exchange

    These are items where we have a stock of core units that we get refurbished on a regular basis but in order to continue to be able to provide refurbished products we need to keep a good stock of core units so you will be charged a surcharge that will be refunded to you upon receipt and inspection of your old unit. 
    The old unit returned must be complete and serviceable and drained of any fluids, it must be identical to the unit you were supplied. 
    Failure to comply with these requirements will result in your surcharge being retained. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.

    Core units must be returned within 90 days of purchase. Surcharges will not be refunded if the old unit is received after this period.

    One For One (141)

    One for one means that we have an extremely limited source of core units, so you will not be charged a surcharge but your order will be held until we have received and inspected your old unit. 
    The old unit returned must be complete and serviceable and drained of any fluids, it must be identical to the unit you are purchasing. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.
    141 orders are not charged until the return 141 unit/s have been verified as correct, complete & deemed serviceable. 
    Any additional costs extra to standard reconditioning process to serviceable will be advised to customer prior to works commencing and acceptance sought.    
    We reserve the right to refuse supply of 141 items subject to condition. In such instances the order will be cancelled and your old unit returned to you at cost.
     

    Customer Own Unit (COU)

    Customer own unit refers to items where we have no core units available to refurbish so we will need to have your item sent to us first and the we can send it away for refurbishment.
    In this instance, you will not be charged for your order until your unit has been returned to us refurbished, we will then call you to take payment and arrange delivery. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.
    COU orders are not charged until the return unit/s have been verified as correct, complete & deemed serviceable. 
    Any additional costs extra to standard reconditioning process to serviceable will be advised to customer prior to works commencing and acceptance sought.    
    We reserve the right to refuse supply of COU items subject to condition. In such instances the order will be cancelled and your old unit returned to you at cost.
     

    When returning old units on exchange, 1-4-1 or Customer Own Unit basis, the old unit must be complete, assembled and drained of any fluids.  Ancillaries, which are not included the reconditioning should not be included.  MGOC Spares reserves the right to charge for disassembly. You will be informed of any additional applicable charges and this will be deducted from your core refund or charged in advance of COU re-work.
