Returns Policy

You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund if you change your mind. This is a discretionary decision by management where a product is not defective and must be requested through a Returns Request (RMA) through your byfarthecheapest.com account. Any returns of such a nature, ie, a product is not defective and is unopened and sealed, if approved for return, will be subject to an Administration Fee, calculated on a percentage of the total order value of the item. Currently, this percentage fee is set at 15% of the total order value and is subject to change and variation depending on the item being returned to us. This fee is a charge to recover our administrative costs and to re-stock the unfaulty, un-opened item you have returned. The customer will also be responsible for the shipping fees to return the item to ourselves, and where applicable, for us to forward on to our suppliers. Where an item is approved for return, costs will be deducted as described above and the appropriate amount owed returned to the customer in the same format in which they paid - for example, their debit or credit card. Refunds will be issued once the item is returned to us and confirmed as non-faulty, and once we have recovered any costs from our suppliers, where appropriate.

In the event an item is found to be defective, we'll pay the return shipping costs, and at our descretion, if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.). As standard, customers are responsible for both the outgoing and incoming (return) postage costs respectively, regardless of reason(s) for return. Defective and damaged items must be reported on the day of receipt via telephone and via email to support@byfarthecheapest.com, there are no exceptions to this condition. It is the customers sole responsibility to ensure that products which they otherwise accept into their care are in a satisfactory condition, and you, the customer otherwise accept full responsibility of checking the condition of products immediatley after receipt from the elected courier service.

We will not, under circumstances, refund or allow the return of Software Items, Games, DVD's or CD's or any other license/media based product where the serial and or license key(s) may have been exposed. 

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Completed Orders" link under the My Account page and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
