Returning an Unwanted Item
We understand that sometimes you need to return something to us. We accept returns, subject to the conditions below. None of these affect your statutory rights. All returns must be pre-authorised with a
"Returns Authorisation Number" which must be quoted and accompanied by a copy of the invoice when returning the goods - please see below.
All returns are subject to a physical inspection, and we must have received and inspected the goods before an exchange, credit, or refund can be issued.
We regret that we are unable to accept the return of parts specially ordered or manufactured for you.
Overseas customers should also refer to the 'Returns - Refunds of VAT/Other Worldwide Tax & Duty' section below.
Please ensure that all returned goods are adequately packaged to avoid damage in transit, that you insure them with the carrier used, and obtain a proof of shipment.
Please note that all returned goods must be in the condition supplied at the point of sale and be complete with their original, undamaged packaging. Return carriage charges are non-refundable.

Customer Service Generated Returns
If you prefer, our
Customer Service Team will be happy to help you through the return process.
Returns of Parts Not Required - within 14 days
All goods sold by Mail Order are covered by the Consumer Contracts Regulations, which allow for a 14 day 'cooling off ' period during which you may cancel your order by either using our
On-line Returns Form or contacting our
Customer Service Team via telephone, email or chat, at any time up to and including the 14th working day after the day on which you received your order. If you exercise your statutory right to cancel, you must immediately return to us (at your own cost), the item(s) that you do not wish to keep.
Returns of Parts Not Required - within 14 - 28 days
As an added benefit to Rimmer Bros customers and in addition to your statutory cancellation right (as detailed above), returns can be considered outside the 14-day cooling off period, either by completing our
On-line Returns Form or contacting our
Customer Service Team via telephone, email or chat, up to and including 28 days after you receive your order. Please note that this will be at our sole discretion.
We can offset the full value of the return against another order, or we can offer a credit (for the full goods value), to be used later. Please note that any refund for correctly supplied goods, will be subject to a handling charge (typically 15% or £10, whichever is greater) to cover administration and re-stocking costs.
Returns of Parts Not Required - Outside 28 days
No returns will be considered after 28 days unless covered by the terms and conditions of our
Warranty. We don't accept returns for unwanted items after the relevant returns period above. If you try to make a return, we may have to send it back to your default delivery address and ask you to cover the delivery costs.
Returns of Warranty Parts
For items that have failed in service within the warranty period, please refer to our
Warranty page for details, as well as terms and conditions.
Return of a "Kit"
Where a kit has been supplied (either pre-packaged or as discounted items individually listed on our invoice), then the whole kit must be returned for exchange, credit or refund (as per conditions listed above). No refund will be offered for the return of a partial kit.
Returns of Exchange 'Old Units'
Please
click here to create an On-line old unit return, or scroll to the bottom of this page. Alternatively, our
Customer Service Team will be happy to help.
There is no specific time limit for the return of old units (core) unless of Genuine Jaguar Land Rover or MG Rover origin, where the core must be returned to us within 80 days of purchase for the surcharge refund to be honoured.
Please note that returned core must be complete, serviceable, and be drained of fluids where applicable. We reserve the right to retain all or part of the surcharge refund if the core is irreparable, damaged, or not identical to the type supplied.
Returned core should NOT have been cleaned by abrasive methods such as sandblasting/glass beading or dissembled for inspection purposes. If such cleaning methods have been used and damage has occurred, or the core is a 'box of bits', the return will be rejected, and no refund will be issued. The core MUST also be returned in any special packaging used for the supply of the original part AND must be safely fixed/fastened in that packaging - failure to comply may result in a charge being levied for any resulting or consequential costs incurred.
