All products which are sold on Dickens Direct have been tested and graded to ensure no dispute occurs. It is highly unlikely that a customer receives a defective/broken product. If such an incident happens with a customer, they are entitled to an Dickens Direct warranty which can be availed in the first year of purchase.
Our warranty covers manufacturing flaws or problems with workmanship. Any faults that appear with time due to the customer's usage pattern aren't covered under warranty.
If the fault occurred due to an accident, misuse, exposure to liquid, or any other external factor, or if you have tampered with the phone or attempted a repair yourself and your action invalidates the warranty.
If the phone is not received in the same condition as it was dispatched, it voids our warranty and so we will charge the customer towards repair and if not interested OR the customer doesn’t contact us within 3 calendar days the phone will be returned back in the same condition as it was received.
Seller refurbished Airpods/Earbuds/AirPods are those where the seller has replaced some under-performing parts with the best available Grade A OEM aftermarket parts to ensure optimum performance. Because few parts have been replaced their model/serial numbers no longer exist and remain valid to be tracked by the manufacturer at any time.
The performance of these items is up to the mark, however, we still can expect some difference with a couple of items in a batch compared to the Brand New Airpods/Earbuds. Considering the price difference between Manufacturer Refurbished and Seller Refurbished, these differences are minors.
With new software updates in the case in the future if these Air pods/Earbuds/AirPods are not verified by the particular brand/manufacturer due to their changing brand policies, the company would not be responsible for any such connectivity issues.
By displaying this information in our Terms & Conditions section we aim that these items cannot be reported for a refund after the warranty time period as per the consumer law or any other related law and nobody can challenge us. By placing the order our customers show their consent and agree to our Terms & Conditions.
We're always available to issue a refund and send replacements within the warranty period as mentioned in Company's T&C as well as on the product page. For example, any functionality or performance issue. Anything besides the aforementioned issues will not me facilitated.
We strive to provide the best services to our valued customers keeping the Terms & Conditions in mind. We again confirm that these are seller-refurbished Airpods/EarPods/AirBuds and we don't provide a Manufacturer's warranty on them or the parts used in refurbishment.
We have a 30 Days, No Questions Asked return policy. If the customer desires to return the received product because of any reasons:
