- Please can all customers be aware that upon receipt of goods via our courier’s, should they be damaged or incomplete in any way as a result of transport to you, it is the responsibility of the customer to sign for it as ‘damaged’. Not signing for goods as ‘damaged’ will effectively leave Solent Towbars unable to claim for damages and therefore result in us being unable to replace the goods free of charge to the customer or issue a full credit.
- In the rare instance that the goods you have received are damaged, faulty or incorrect due to manufacturer error, a replacement or credit will be issued by Solent Towbars.
Return of unwanted or incorrectly ordered goods due to customer error

- The purchaser must inform Solent Towbars prior to the return of goods and the purchaser must have the sales invoice number for the goods they wish to return.

- Where goods are required for return at no fault of Solent Towbars there is minimum re-stocking charge of £10 per item returned. We will complete a thorough check upon receipt of the goods to ensure the quality of the product is the same as when it was initially sold and this check will ensure that the goods have been returned complete and in a re-saleable condition.
- Solent Towbars reserves the right to deduct more from any credit refunded should the product(s) returned be found to be incomplete or in a condition that then requires any re-packaging work to be carried out by us.
