Damaged or Faulty Goods

We ensure that all consignments are packaged properly, in order to reduce the risk of damaged goods during transit. However, from time to time, damaged goods do occur.

Always check boxes upon delivery for signs of external damage, and also check the picking note for the number of items which should have been delivered.

All deliveries should be checked upon, or within 24 hours, of delivery and any damage should be reported immediately to the Customer Service team. Please ensure that each consignment is fully checked. If packaging is damaged, you should refuse consignment upon delivery. The delivery will then be returned to the courier depot and a Customer Service representative will get in touch to discuss your order with you. Please inform Customer Service as soon as possible, if you have refused the delivery.

The Customer Service team may ask for a photo to be taken of the item if they have been accepted damaged. Please email photos to  customerservices@telecomscentre.com.
