Can you deliver overseas?

Yes. AVSL has customers in twelve European countries, New Zealand, Australia & South Africa. Goods are shipped both from the warehouse in Manchester and direct from Asia to these customers dependant on their requirements.

What is the warranty period?

AVSL offers a 12 month warranty on all goods sold. This warranty period starts from the date of the AVSL Group invoice for the goods.

Do you offer a repairs service?

Unfortunately, AVSL Group does not offer a repairs service.

For those of you who wish to undertake your own repairs, we maintain a small selection of competitively priced spare parts and reconditioned components or the majority of products sold.

We must point out that due to the changing nature of the product we cannot guarantee availability on our complete range.

How do I return an item?

We hope you are satisfied with your order from AVSL, but if for any reason it is unsuitable you must contact a member of the customer services team as soon as possible. Prior authorisation must be sought in the form of a Returns Authorisation (RA) number before returning any faulty/damaged or wrongly ordered goods. This number can be obtained from our returns department.

Are returns free?

Sorry, but we are currently unable to offer a free returns service. All customers are responsible for returning goods to AVSL Group at their expense and for providing proof of delivery. We do not operate a collection service nor do we accept goods returned in person. Goods returned without authorisation will be credited/repaired less a handling charge of 25% of the total value. The processing of these returns may also be delayed.

What if my order is incomplete?

Please check the contents of your delivery as soon as it is arrives. In addition check the seals on the parcels and the number of cartons. Any shortages must be reported to the customer services office within 72 hours of receiving the consignment. AVSL Group will not be responsible for any shortages reported after this time.
