Returns Policy

The consumer has a statutory right to cancel their order at any time up to 14 whole days after receipt of the goods and receive a full refund. Weather Shop extends this to 30 days.

To cancel an order; notify us by email, post or fax at the above address and, where the goods have been despatched or delivered, make arrangements to return them to us. Before returning goods, you must obtain an RMA number. Processing goods returned without an RMA number may be delayed or even rejected. Postage or Carriage due returns will be refused.

Where these goods have already been despatched and / or paid for, a refund will be made within 14 days.

We will refund the cost of the goods but not the original shipping to the customer.

Goods and their packaging that are the subject of a cancelled order must be returned at the customer's expense in merchantable condition. As you would expect, all of our products offered for sale are new and unused and consequently we are unable to restock goods that have been used rather than simply inspected, as they might at our Collection Counter.

Once you have opened a software package or are in receipt of a license key that has been generated for you, the product is not returnable.

Additional services such as enhanced delivery services that have been completed are not refundable.

Returning an Item that has a Fault

All products are supplied with a one year guarantee against fault. In some cases, an additional guarantee is provided by the manufacturer; we will endeavour to facilitate this for you. Proof of purchase will be required.

In the event of an apparent fault within warranty, please contact us at the address above. If we are then unable to resolve the fault, we will ask you to return the goods or relevant part thereof to us in order that we can ascertain any fault. Occasionally we may ask you to return the product directly to our suppliers in order to expedite the resolution. Subject to such a fault we will either repair, replace or refund as appropriate. Where a fault is found, the cost of simple return postage will be refunded. Any refunds will be made within 30 days.

Before returning goods, you will need to obtain an RMA number from us. Processing goods returned without an RMA number may be delayed or even rejected. Postage or Carriage due returns will be refused.

Please do not bring unsolicited returns to our premises.

WEEE - Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment

Please do not throw electrical equipment including those items marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol in the bin as they should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.

The WEEE regulations cover all electronic devices purchased from us and any batteries included with them. They vary depending upon whether you are purchasing from us for "household" or "business" use. For full information regarding these regulations we suggest you visit the Environment Agency web site.

In the UK the amount of waste electrical and electronic products we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Recycling reduces the environmental impact along with any associated health risks in sending such products to landfill. At Weather Shop we would encourage you to recycle your old electronic instruments when you purchase from us.

The regulations require us to offer you the opportunity to return your old product to us for disposal when you purchase a replacement and we are happy to facilitate that. If you are a "householder" and have bought a product from us to replace another with the same or similar functionality then you are able to return the old one to us and we will ensure that it is correctly disposed of.

However you might consider that the expense of sending (not simply the postage cost but also the carbon mileage cost) the old product or bringing it in person to us outweighs the recycling value. Indeed a better way might be to collect several items of mixed waste to make a visit to your local household waste recycling site worthwhile. They too will ensure that WEEE products are correctly recycled.

This applies to old product that has the WEEE symbol - a crossed out wheelie bin. Before you return any goods you should contact us for a return number and to confirm that the product you are returning is eligible. The goods for recycling must be returned within 28 days.

All of this includes disposing of used batteries. However as well as your local household recycling centres many retailers have recycling points for your old batteries whether or not you purchase new ones from them.
