These costs will always be at the customer’s expense and responsibility and are never included in our pricing unless agreed in writing in advance.
When the customs office or courier notifies you by email to make a payment for these fees, you must pay them as quickly as possible.

If the external packaging appears marked or damaged in absolutely any respect, the driver’s note must be marked with the words “Packaging received damaged – goods not checked” and cross out the carrier’s statement saying “Goods received in good condition”. Failure to do this will mean that the customer becomes liable for all damage and has no recourse for replacement or refund of the goods from The Imaging Warehouse Ltd. NEVER discard any of the packaging or goods as they will be required for future inspection in the event of a valid claim against the carrier.

This legislation covers items bought where there is no direct contact between the supplier and the consumer. It does not apply where goods are bought for business use, from showrooms, fairs or exhibitions or any goods made to a custom specification.
Under current legislation, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 allow for a “cooling off” period of 14 days from the date of the customer’s receipt of the last item of goods from an order. Under this law, the Customer may return specified goods for a full refund without any reason following written notification by e-mail, fax or letter (a telephone notification alone is NOT acceptable) – you will be issued with an official returns number which needs to be quoted with all goods returned to our premises – the goods are expected to be returned with a period of 14 days following notification of an intended return. This cooling off period explicitly excludes goods made to a customer’s personal specifications. It also does not apply to goods intended for everyday consumption, video recordings or computer software where the seal is broken by the customer. Goods returned have to be unused, complete, in perfect resaleable condition and including original packaging.
All costs of returning and appropriately insuring the goods until a satisfactory receipt by the company will be borne in full by the customer.
Once all specified goods have been received in good condition by the company, it will ensure that the customer is fully re-imbursed for said items for the original amount paid within a period of 14 days from the date of receiving the goods back. If a complete order is being returned then the company will fully refund any original postage costs (excluding any priority service cost in which case the basic next day charge will be refunded).
