Returns Policy and Extended Warranties
We want you to be satisfied with every purchase you make. If an item you purchased arrived broken, faulty or it is not what you ordered we’re here to help, subject to the below terms.

7 Days Exchange and Refund Policy
We will refund or exchange faulty goods if you return them within 7 days of purchase, provided:
- it is in its original packaging and condition, including all attachments, accessories and documentation;
- it is unused
Goods that show a manufacturing defect within the first 1 month(s) of purchase will be repaired, replaced or refunded at no cost to you. See Repairs and warranties
NOTE: There is no refund on products correctly supplied, special orders and outsourced goods.
Defective or Damaged Goods
If your goods turn out to be defective, Triple Js Services will repair them, replace them or give you a refund. We can help you to arrange a third party courier OR shipping company.
The courier service will be charged at the going rate for your area and Product specifications. Please note that a technical assessment will take place to determine whether goods have been damaged or what the cause of a failure or defect may be. This is important as it determines whether the goods may be repaired, replaced or refunded.
If your goods show a defect after the initial 1 month period, but still within the manufacturer’s warranty period, equipment supplier will send the goods to the manufacturer for repair and the manufacturer will decide whether you have a valid claim and if so, whether they will repair or replace. If the goods become defective once the manufacturer’s warranty has expired, we can arrange with the manufacturer or its agents to repair them at your own expenses. No repairs will be done without you approving a quotation first.
Should an item be damaged or defective, please contact our Online Customer Support Centre or email info@3jss.com immediately to arrange for the earliest convenient collection date. Please make a note on the delivery waybill of damages as well. Once returned to the store, the Product will undergo an assessment following which a decision be made on the replacement of the item. Promotional free or bundled items that were part of a purchase must also be returned.
