Where can I find your warranty policy?

Our warranty policy can be found here

How do I return an item?

The process is as follows: 


Step 1: Get in contact with us


If an item develops a fault, the first step is to email us to info@cinegearpro.co.uk or to call our store team on 020 7998 0905 to learn more about our returns.


You will then be put through to a product specialist in the field of your item. The product specialist will ask you questions and troubleshoot the fault to determine if it can be fixed without being returned.


Step 2: Troubleshoot


- Check the manufacturer's product website for known issues.

- Check the item's instruction manual for a troubleshooting section.

- Check for visible marks which may suggest the item has been damaged.

- Where applicable, ensure you have the latest drivers & software downloaded for hardware.

- If an item works on a power supply or batteries, try using it on battery power only - the power supply itself may be at fault.

- Any attempt to open items to try and repair them yourself will void your warranty!


Step 3: File a Return


If you are unable to resolve the problem yourself, and you wish to return goods under the 14-day refund policy, 30-day exchange policy or 1-year limited warranty policy, then please contact us. A customer service representative will get back to you soon after you have submitted your returns request.


Step 4: Post-Claim


You will be given an RMA number which you should quote whenever contacting us about your item. Depending on the nature of the return, your item will be inspected in-house and, if necessary, sent back to the manufacturer or a company specialising in the repair of your product. Your item will be repaired or exchanged as they see fit if under warranty. We will contact you to let you know when your repair is ready, and organise for you to collect your item, or for us to deliver your item to you.*


If your item develops a fault within the first 14 days of purchase, we will do our best to exchange your item as soon as possible. Once your item is repaired we will send instructions on how to get your item returned to you. If your item is outside of its warranty period, charges for parts, labour and delivery will apply. We will advise you of any charges before going ahead with your repair.


For extra security please inform us once any return has been posted (tracking number, courier info).

Who covers the return shipping cost for returning items? 

This depends on the situation of the return. If the item you are returning has been damaged upon receiving it or develops a fault within the 1-Year warranty, we can cover the shipping costs. If you are returning for a refund/exchange, you will be reliable for the return shipping costs. 

Am I eligible for a refund?

We understand that circumstances may change or that a product may not meet your needs. Therefore, we offer a returns policy that allows you to request a refund within 14 days of purchase. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, simply contact our customer service team within this timeframe, and they will guide you through the return process. Please note that the item must be unused, in its original packaging, and in resalable condition to be eligible for a refund or exchange. Failure to meet the returning conditions may result in a up to 25% re-stocking fee. After our team provides you with the return shipping instructions, you must return the item/s to us within 7 days to be eligible for a refund. Any items returned after the 7 days will not be eligible for a refund. In such cases, the customer will be responsible for any shipping fees to return the product. We strive to process refunds promptly once the returned item has been received and inspected. However, please allow up to 14 days period for the refund to be reflected in your account. For more details on our returns policy or to initiate a return, please reach out to our customer service team.

What is the warranty on B-Stock/Demo items?

B-Stock or Demo/used items will vary on the warranty they have and this depends on the condition of the actual item. On the product page for the B-Stock/Demo item, the warranty will be stated. 

How long does a repair take?

Once you have returned an item for repair, we cannot determine a repair time. We may be able to provide you a rough ETA but this is not guaranteed. Every repair is different which means that our technical team will need time to review the issue. Some repairs may need more time than others so we can not guarantee an accurate time of fix. We will update you as much as we can during the time of your repair. 

I have equipment that I didn't buy from you, can you repair it?

Usually, we do not accept repairs on items that have not been purchased from us previously. We can source bits and pieces from multiple brands so if you need a single part, please contact us at info@cinegearpro.co.uk. 

Do I need to repackage the equipment back to the original box before returning?

If you are returning an item, we encourage you to repack the item in its original packaging with additional support so it does not get damaged in transit. If you fail to use the original packaging, it could result in a restocking fee on returns for refunds and exchanges. 

Can I return this in-person?

Yes, you may but please make sure that we are aware beforehand so we can expect you. You can do this by calling us on +44 020 7998 0905 or contact us at info@cinegearpro.co.uk. 

Can you book a collection for my return product?

Usually, customers will have to arrange the returns themselves. Only in special cases can we arrange collections. If you need help with a return, please contact us at info@cinegearpro.co.uk.

What should I do if the return period has expired?

If you fail to return the item for a refund within the return window, you will not be eligible for a refund. If you believe that you deserve a refund, please email us at info@cinegearpro.co.uk. 

Do you offer a trade-in program?

No, we do not offer a trade-in program. We can only offer exchanges within 30 days and the item has to be purchased from us beforehand.
