Dead On Arrival Products - "DOA"
A The Bargain Hunter Product is considered DOA if it shows symptoms of a failure, or is discovered to be broken when first taken from its packaging.
A The Bargain Hunter Customer Service member will provisionally determine whether the Product is DOA. Where a Product is provisionally determined as DOA we will arrange to replace the Product.
Refunds will only be offered where a replacement Product can not be provided.
Where The Bargain Hunter has provisionally determined that a Product is DOA, return shipping will be arranged at the expense of The Bargain Hunter.
If the Product is deemed by Customer Services NOT to be DOA, The Bargain Hunter may in its absolute discretion refuse to replace the Product or offer you a refund for the Product.
When a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned DOA Product becomes our property.
When a refund is given, the returned DOA Product becomes our property.
The Bargain Hunter reserves the right to test any returned DOA Product. If the condition of the Product was misrepresented to us by the customer, The Bargain Hunter will impose a $95 handling and administration fee.
Product Problems After Delivery
If your item arrives DOA (Dead On Arrival) or you find a defect arises after delivery and a valid claim is received by Customer Service within 30 days of delivery, The Bargain Hunter will exchange the Product where possible, or refund you the purchase price of the Product. Should you contact us outside the 30 day period customer service management will consider each claim on a case by case basis on its merits.
