ONELAB TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY INFORMATION:

For items in stock please allow 2-5 working days from receipt of your order.   Items that are not available in stock can take up to 14 weeks for delivery.  Freight costs from our warehouse to your site are chargeable and based on New Zealand commercial freight rates. 

CREDITS & RETURNED GOODS POLICY:

Returning Goods

We are committed to ensuring you are satisfied with your purchase, and that you have received the right products, delivered in full and in accordance with your expectations.

Where this does not occur, we are happy to accept returns for goods that are sent in error or do not meet product quality expectations. We ask that you contact us within 72 hours of receipt of the

product to obtain a Returned Goods Authority (RGA) Number.  Please do not send goods back to us without an RGA number, as we cannot guarantee they will be received or placed back into stock.

For items that are ordered in error or surplus to requirements, if these are an ex-stock line, where possible we will provide an RGA number with a restocking fee chargeable. 

When you contact us to obtain an RGA number, we will provide you with a label to affix to the item for return. We will then organize a courier to collect the goods from your facility at your cost. Please ensure the goods are ready for our courier to collect.

To assist in processing your returns we require the goods to be in the original packaging without any stickers or labels attached to the packaging. If you are sending it back to us, please place an outer cover, or packaging around the original item.

Sensitive or Sterile Products / Indent / Back order items

Please be aware that due to the sensitive nature of some products (e.g., sterile products), we may not be able to accept these back.

Check with us before placing your order to ensure you understand which products this may include.

Where goods have been ordered for you specifically (i.e., we have purchased this item based on your order – as a Indent/Backorderd item), we may not be able to accept it back unless the manufacturer of the goods agrees to take them back.

Refund / Credit

Where we have sent the goods in error, you have received an incorrect product or the goods are damaged, we will provide you with a full refund/ credit for the amount of the goods. The payment will be processed using the original method of payment, unless otherwise requested.

Postage and delivery costs are non-refundable for all returns, unless goods are damaged in transit.

Where the return occurs as a result of customer error, we charge a restocking fee.

STOCK UNAVAILABLE:

In the case you place an order for product that subsequently becomes unavailable, the remainder of your order will proceed, and the stock that goes on to back order will be delivered on a subsequent delivery docket.
