How to Return an Item

Follow the steps below to help us process your return as quickly as possible.

1

Check Your Product Is Eligible

Before returning an item, please make sure that it:

  • Is within the applicable return period
  • Is unused and in its original condition
  • Includes all supplied parts and accessories
  • Has an order number or proof of purchase

Some products are subject to return restrictions. See the section below for full details.

2

Return Your Product

Eligible products can be returned to your nearest TJ O'Mahony branch.

Please bring the product, your order number or proof of purchase, and all supplied components and accessories.

For Extra Large, Large & Heavy, faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied items, please contact Customer Service before arranging a return.

3

We'll Inspect Your Return

Returned products must be in a re-saleable condition.

We may be unable to accept products that have been used, installed, damaged, altered, are incomplete or are otherwise unsuitable for resale.

These conditions do not restrict your statutory rights where goods are faulty or non-conforming.

4

Refund or Exchange

Once your return has been inspected and approved, eligible products may be refunded or exchanged.

Approved refunds are processed within 5 working days to the same payment method used for the original purchase.

Your bank or payment provider may require additional time before the funds appear in your account.

Return Costs & 15% Restocking Charge

If you're returning an eligible product because you've changed your mind, you are responsible for arranging the return.

A 15% handling and restocking charge will normally apply to change-of-mind returns, calculated on the value of the returned product(s). TJ O'Mahony may, at its discretion, waive this charge depending on the circumstances of the return.

This charge does not apply where doing so would restrict your statutory consumer rights. If your product is faulty, damaged or was supplied incorrectly, please contact us before arranging a return so that we can advise you on the appropriate next step.

Cancelling an Order Before Dispatch

If you wish to cancel an online order that has not yet been dispatched, please contact us as soon as possible.

Where possible, we will cancel the order before dispatch and process the refund to your original payment method. If the order has already been dispatched, the appropriate returns process will apply.
