RETURNS
What is your returns policy?
|
I am having problems getting something to work. What can I do?
First, read the manual. If you cannot find the information you need, there may be a help file or on-line help available from the manufacturer. Many of our suppliers also have technical support staff with specific product knowledge. They can usually be contacted through the manufacturer’s website.
Check your cables and try to isolate the problem. If you have eliminated all other possible causes of the problem, call our returns department on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the fault. We will explore the options and issue a returns number if necessary.
|
|
Something arrived damaged. What do I do?
We must be notified of any damage within 24 hours of delivery. Please phone us immediately on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the return and be issued with a returns number. If you are phoning outside office hours, please leave an answer phone message with your phone number and order number, explaining the problem. |
|
How long is the warranty?
Studiospares offers a minimum 12 month warranty on all new products. Some manufacturers provide an extended warranty. Always check the manual, as you will usually need to register for the extended warranty within a few weeks of purchase. |
|
I have bought something in-store and wish to return it. Do the distance-selling regulations apply?
No. Distance selling regulations and the “cooling off period” do not apply to in-store purchases. Please contact our returns department on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the return. |
|
Does the warranty cover blown speaker drivers?
No. The warranty covers manufacturing defects. Accidental damage, such as blown drivers, is not covered by warranty. |
|
Can Studiospares organise repairs once the warranty has expired?
Not usually. We regret that we are unable to arrange repairs outside of the warranty period. The exception is for Studiospares own-brand products. We generally keep a stock of spare parts for our own products, and may be able to arrange a chargeable repair if an item fails outside the warranty period (usually 12 months). Please contact our returns department on 020 8208 9951 or mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the problem. |
|
If I return something am I guaranteed a refund?
Please see our detailed Returns Policy.
No. You must notify us that you intend to return something (020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com ) and send it back within 14 days of receipt of goods. Goods must reach us complete, unused and with all packaging complete and unmarked. We must examine all goods before we can agree to a refund. Please note that the following are not covered under the right to cancel: Recordable media, computer software. Due to health and safety considerations microphones, microphone pop filters headphones and IEM systems will only be accepted in unopened, security-sealed packaging. "Customised" orders, including cut lengths of cable, custom cables and non-stock special order items are also exempt.

I have faulty goods, how do i return them?
Please phone us on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the return and be issued with a returns number. If you have all the original packaging we may be able to arrange a collection with one of our carriers. If you do not have the original packaging, or the item is outside Studiospares’ 12 month warranty (but still within the manufacturer’s warranty) you will need to arrange return carriage. |
|
I have returned goods to you, how long will it take for the repair or replacement?
Most repairs are carried out by the manufacturer or their service agents, but goods will nearly always need to be returned to Studiospares initially. Repairs usually take 3-4 weeks, but this depends on workload and availability of parts. Some goods can be replaced from stock, which generally takes a couple of days. If a supplier arranges a replacement from their stock, this can take longer.
We will let you know when the repaired or replaced unit is ready for delivery.
|
|
I have returned goods to you, why haven't you refunded me yet?
There may be a problem with the return. We will contact you as soon as possible if this is the case. We try to examine all returns promptly. However, in especially busy periods it can be up to a week before we process your return. |
|
If I return goods to you, will I get a refund for the delivery costs I incur?
This depends on the circumstances. Please phone us on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the return and be issued with a returns number. We will discuss return carriage options and arrange to refund return postage costs if relevant. |
|
I want to return goods, can you arrange to pick them up from me?
Please phone us on 020 8208 9951 or email mailto:returns@studiospares.com to discuss the return and be issued with a returns number.

Studiospares may be able to arrange collection of unwanted goods during the 14 day "cooling off period". Collections will be charged at £20 per parcel, or £30 per freight parcel (over 32kg in weight or over 100cm in any dimension). |

|
What is a returns number?

PRICING, BILLING & STOCK
Do you Price Match other retailers?
Yes. At Studiospares we try to keep our prices as low and as up to date as possible. However, sometimes other retailers have special offers and deals that we can match. We will do our best to match their price.
If you find the same product in stock with another UK company for a cheaper price, then we may be able to match their price. Please call our sales team on 020 8208 9930 or Email Us sales@studiospares.com with the details of where you have seen the price.
We do reserve the right to decline to match a price under certain exceptional circumstances, for example if the other seller has 'over-stocked' an item and chosen to sell at a loss. This is very rare in our experience.
|
|
How can I pay?
When ordering over the internet you can pay by any card type. You can also pay via PayPal, Klarna, Apple & G-Pay. Other ways of paying are Bank Transfer and Cheque. |
|
Can I get a discount?
Everyone in our industry is in “The Trade”. Practically all Studiospares prices are heavily discounted. Some prices are just a few % above our buying in price. We supply huge purchasing organisations, dealers, schools, charities and acknowledge that such purchasers should pay less if they are purchasing larger quantities. Therefore quantity discounts apply to all products and are shown under that item’s code number.
We do have a student orientated section, however, simply sign up to our Student Hub using your .ac email address for access, as some suppliers offer an educational discount. |
