A Return Authorisation Number does not guarantee either a refund or replacement. When issued with a Return Authorisation Number, you will also be provided with details of how to return your goods. You will then be contacted by a Tacklemania representative after your returned item has been reviewed.

All goods returned must be suitably packaged. We cannot accept responsibility for goods damaged or lost in transit back to us.

Shipping costs for original purchases are non-refundable, regardless of reason for return.

 

VALID REASONS FOR RETURN:

Please note that replacements are not given for damaged packaging, only where the goods are damaged. All items must be deemed damaged by a member of our service department prior to replacement.
