How to use the automated returns system

The simplest method to return a system or component is to use our automated online returns procedure.

Simply go to your account page and under the list of previous orders select the order containing the item to be returned. For each item on the invoice you have the option to initiate a return. Simply click on it and complete the form with all relevant details.

Standard collect and returns warranties

All Wired2Fire systems are provided with a two year offsite warranty as standard. The first year is on a "collect and return" basis where all carriage and repair costs are met by Wired2Fire. The second year warranty covers "labour only". Please check here for full warranty terms.

Before returning a system you should run through all the troubleshooting steps outlined in our support section. Please ensure the system has an actual hardware fault. A large proportion of PCs that Wired2Fire receives simply have misconfigured software or customer installed hardware, which is not covered under the warranty. If a system is tested and no hardware fault is found you will be subject to a delivery charge of £50. We will not charge any labour costs. If you are unsure, it is usually best to contact us to discuss the nature of the fault. Often a simple system restore will fix the problem.

Turn around on system repairs will be no less than 48 hours. Depending on the nature of the fault and the availability of replacement hardware it may take several days to resolve. To ensure systems are not sent out with potentially faulty components they are subject to the full 24 hour burn in test. Whilst this does add to the total time of repair, we believe that it is better to be totally thorough so that you, the customer, can be confident you will receive your system back in full working order. Please understand we will be doing our utmost to get the system back to you, but that it may take some time. Replacement hardware will be of the same or better performance than the original hardware. Redelivery will be Monday to Friday between 9a.m. and 5.30p.m. We can deliver to any UK address and this does not have to be the original billing address.

Packaging for computer system returns

In the unlikely event you should need to return your Wired2Fire system for repair, you should ensure adequate packaging:

Systems should be packaged in there original packaging, with all inserts and padding included. The packaging should be securely taped at top and bottom. These simple steps will ensure your system arrives without any problems. In these circumstances carriage is fully insured.

In the even that you do not have the original packaging we can provide replacement boxes, with sufficinet padding, at a cost of £15. This will ensure your system arrives to us in one piece.

If you are providing your own packaging please note that you may be held liable for any damage incurred during shipping should the packaging not be adequate. The courier system is not perfect and a computer in a box with little or no padding will invalidate the carriage insurance and massively increase the chances of your system being damaged.

Onsite computer warranties

First, you should run through all the troubleshooting steps outlined in our support section. If this does not resolve your issue then please contact Wired2Fire on 0845 388 9051 to talk to one of our support staff. Please have as much detail to hand regarding the nature of the problem as possible. This will ensure a fast and efficient service. Our staff may ask you to run through several tests or steps to identify the cause of the fault. Once the faulty hardware has been identified a replacement part will be shipped to you by next day courier. The onsite engineer will then contact you to arrange a convenient time to replace the faulty component. Repairs will usually take less than 48 hours.

In certain circumtances, the faulty component can not be readily identified, then the system will be collected as per the standard collect and return warranty above. Please note that a system that is tested and has no hardware fault will result in a small charge to cover delivery costs as described above.
