Shipping

The Customer’s signature will be required at the time of receipt and goods cannot be left without such a signature.

Please examine your parcel on delivery and note any damages when signing for the goods. All damages should be reported to us within 24 hours. Providing you contact us within 24 hours, and can supply appropriate photographic evidence, we will arrange to have the damaged item collected and get a replacement out to you as soon as possible, normally the next working day.

If you receive an item and it is incorrect, or there is a shortage you must let us know as soon as possible within 72 hours. If you receive incorrect goods we will arrange to have them collected and get the correct items out to you. Incorrectly shipped goods remain the property of Eclipse Sound & Lighting and do not constitute unsolicited goods.

All shipments in transit from Eclipse Sound & Lighting are covered by the carrier’s insurance.

Claims for non-delivery must be made within 7 working days of the expected delivery date. Claims will not be accepted after this time.

In the event of your item being DOA (dead on arrival) we will either arrange collection of the faulty item, or supply you with a freepost return label to send the item back to us. Once the item has been received by Eclipse Sound & Lighting and the fault confirmed (this may require the item being returned to the manufacture for inspection) we will provide either an advance replacement or a refund of the transaction. The supply of a replacement is subject to availability. For an item to be classed as ‘DOA’ you must contact us within 14 days of receiving your goods, with a fault description.

Please be aware that we can only respond during normal business hours.

RETURNING AN ITEM

Before you return an item please contact us for a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number. This must be clearly marked on any packages returned to Eclipse Sound & Lighting.

We use this number to offer a faster returns service to our customers, so we know whom it is from & details about the return, and cannot accept back items without a returns number.

It is important that this number is clearly visible on the outside of your package – not doing so can prevent us from being able to process your return quickly.

All returns are the responsibility of the customer until received by Eclipse Sound & Lighting, and we recommend that customers use an insured delivery service and keep the proof of postage. The cost of returning all items is the responsibility of the customer.

PACKAGING A PRODUCT FOR RETURN UNDER WARRANTY

We recommend that you retain all the packaging that the product was shipped with, in case you need to repackage it in the future for transportation.

Please make sure that the product is safely wrapped for transport and the RMA number is clearly marked on the outside of the package.

Also, please make sure that a copy of the RMA Form is in the box.

Physical damage to a product in transit is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

PACKAGING AN UNWANTED ITEM FOR RETURN

Our returns policy states that products must be returned as new, un-opened and un-used – so please follow these instructions carefully, or we will not be able to accept your item back.

The product must be complete – returned with all accessories, power supplies, manuals, cables, etc. Cables & accessories should be packaged as arrived – not lose as a connector could scratch a product in transit, resulting in us not being able to accept the product back.

All packaging must be intact – we cannot accept a product back if the box is ripped, there is missing or broken packaging. Do not cover a products box or packaging in brown tape/gaffa tape etc – Bag, wrap in packaging paper or double box your product to protect it in transit and to prevent it getting marked – do not write on the products own box or original shipping carton – if you do, we won’t be able to accept the product for back.

We will supply you with an email containing an address label with the returns number. Print this out & stick it on the package you are returning with clear tape. We recommend you cover the whole address label with clear tape to protect it.

Make sure the returns number is clearly visible on the outside of your packaging so that we can see it, if you don’t include it, we won’t know who’s sent it, and this will delay us being able to process your return.
