Returning goods

Items which are unsuitable or not required may be returned subject to the following conditions:

Ace Consumables must be contacted prior to any item being returned and returns documentation obtained. Ace Consumables will not accept any responsibility where this requirement has not been complied with. The original Ace Consumables invoice number must be quoted when contacting Ace Consumables. Ace Consumables will only deal with the persons to whom the product was originally invoiced. The item to be returned must be in perfect re-saleable condition when received at Ace Consumables.

We will not accept any items for return which have been fitted, used or in a condition other than that which it was supplied. The retail packaging must be unmarked and in good condition. For this reason, it is wise to retain all packaging materials and to open packaging with care. It is not the responsibility of Ace Consumables to organise or pay for the return of goods in these circumstances. In selecting a suitable method for return consideration should be given to proper insurance as Ace Consumables cannot accept liability for goods damaged in transit. Responsibility for packaging the item in a suitably robust fashion lies with the sender. If there is any doubt as to what a suitably robust fashion means please contact Ace Consumables for specific packaging advice. Items damaged in transit will not be accepted for refund/credit.

We want our customers to be completely satisfied with their purchases. If for any reason you no longer need an item and wish to return it, we have a return policy in place. Any returnable items that are being returned solely because they are no longer needed will incur a return fee of £8.95.

To initiate a return for an item not needed anymore, please ensure the following conditions are met:

The item must be returned within the specified return period – 30 days from purchase date.
The item must be in its original condition, unused, and with all tags and packaging intact.
The return request must be made within the designated return time frame.

Returns Process:

If you meet the above criteria and wish to return an item solely due to not needing it anymore, please follow these steps:

Contact our customer service team to initiate the return process and obtain a return authorization.
Package the item securely and include all original packaging, tags, and documentation.
Ship the item back to us at the provided return address, ensuring that the package is adequately protected during transit.
Upon receiving and inspecting the returned item, the £8.95 return fee will be deducted from the refund amount to cover processing and restocking costs.

Refund Process:

Once the returned item has been received and inspected, a refund for the item’s purchase price minus the £8.95 return fee will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

Please note that the customer is responsible for the cost of return shipping unless the return is due to a product defect or error on our part.

If you have any questions or require further assistance regarding our return policy, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team.
