Our Promise to You

Every part we sell is tested and described as accurately as possible. If something arrives not as described, is faulty, or you simply change your mind, we'll always work with you to find a fair resolution — whether that's a refund, exchange, or repair.

We believe in straightforward, hassle-free returns. If you have a problem with your order, just get in touch and we'll sort it out. No unnecessary hoops to jump through.

Your Legal Rights

As a UK consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and, for online purchases, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. These rights apply in addition to our own policy and are not limited by it.

  • Goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described.
  • If goods are faulty within 30 days of delivery, you have the right to a full refund.
  • If goods develop a fault within 6 months, we must repair, replace, or refund — and we must prove the item was not faulty if we dispute the claim.
  • For online orders, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the day you receive the goods, during which you may cancel and return for any reason.
Our 30-day returns policy goes beyond your statutory 14-day cooling-off right. Where our policy is more generous than your legal rights, our policy applies. Where your legal rights exceed our policy, your legal rights always take precedence.

How to Return an Item

Please follow these steps to return an item. Do not send items back without contacting us first — unauthorised returns may cause delays.

1

Contact us within 30 days

Email info@nugsm.com or call +44 1903 930139 with your order number and reason for return. We'll confirm your return is approved and provide instructions.

2

Pack the item securely

Use appropriate packaging to protect the item during transit. Include all original accessories and packaging where possible, plus your name and order number inside the parcel.

3

Send it back to us

Post the item to: NUGSM, 130 Montague Street, Worthing, BN11 3HG. We recommend using a tracked service. For faulty or incorrectly sent items, we will provide a prepaid return label.

4

Refund or exchange issued

Once we receive and inspect your return, we'll process your refund or exchange within 3-5 Working Days and confirm by email.

6

Faulty or Incorrectly Sent Items

If your item arrives faulty, damaged in transit, or is not what you ordered, we cover all return postage costs and issue a full refund or send a replacement at no extra charge.

Please report faulty or incorrect items within 30 days of delivery. Where possible, include a photo or short description of the fault when you contact us — this helps resolve things faster.

  • Faults reported within 30 days — full refund or replacement at your choice.
  • Faults reported between 30 days and 6 months — we will repair, replace, or refund after inspecting the item.
  • Faults reported after 6 months — we may ask you to demonstrate the fault was present at the time of sale.

We test every item before sale, but if a fault develops after purchase we will always investigate fairly and work with you to reach the best outcome.

Refund Process & Timelines

Once we receive your returned item and confirm it meets the return conditions, we'll process your refund as follows:

Refund MethodProcessing TimeNotes
Original card / bank transfer 3-5 Working Days Most common method — refunded to card used at checkout
PayPal 1-3 working days Refunded to the PayPal account used at checkout
Trade Account Credit Same day Available on request — valid for 12 months
Cash / in-person returns Immediate For items returned in person at our warehouse
Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (wrong item sent, item arrived damaged or faulty). Return postage is at your own cost for change-of-mind returns.

We'll send you a confirmation email once the refund has been processed. Bank processing times are outside our control and may vary.

Exchanges

If you'd prefer to exchange an item rather than receive a refund, we're happy to arrange this subject to stock availability. Please mention your preference when you contact us to begin a return.

  • Exchanges are available for items returned in original, unused condition within 30 days.
  • If the replacement item is higher in value, you'll be charged the difference.
  • If the replacement item is lower in value, we'll refund the difference.
  • If the item you want is out of stock, we'll offer a full refund instead.

Items can also be returned in person at our Worthing warehouse during opening hours. Please bring your order confirmation or proof of purchase.

  • In-person returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase.
  • Items must be in their original condition with all accessories.
  • Refunds for in-person returns can be issued as cash, card refund, or trade account credit.

Warranty Claims

  • Most parts carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of delivery.
  • If a part fails within warranty, we will repair, replace, or refund it at our discretion — including return postage.
  • The warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect fitting, misuse, or modification after installation.
  • Please keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Please note that opening, modifying, or attempting to repair a part yourself before contacting us may affect our ability to diagnose the original fault and could void the warranty.
