Warranty By Default Covers Repair

The TBS warranty means we will repair your faulty item for free and send it back to you for free. Other compensation is not normally available. If an item is impossible to repair to a good working condition we will credit you instead. When does the 2 years warranty start from? The warranty period begins from the receipt of the goods by the initial consignee. In the case of resellers, this is when the vendor receives the goods from TBS. The period is exactly 2 years from that time. For example, a product on the 2 years is covered, but a product on the 2 years is no longer covered.

Who pays for what?

Cost of shipping a probably faulty item back to Hong Kong or China: paid by the customer, cannot be reimbursed. Cost of import duties on the China side and restocking fees: waived, paid by TBS in full. Cost of shipping repaired item back to customer from China: paid by TBS in full. If a product cannot be repaired: your original shipping fee will be credited in addition to the original product value so you can place a new order for a brand new replacement or a different product. Any new import duty or sales tax for the consignee for the returned repaired products sent from China is their responsibility as per the usual policies.
