RETURNS
At MSEL, we strive to provide high-quality products and excellent customer service. Our goal is to maintain fair and transparent return policies that balance the needs of our customers with the practicality of our business operations.
As some of our products are highly technical and application-specific, we encourage our customers to carefully consider their purchases before making them. We provide as much information as possible on our website. We ask that you consider this and make an educated decision prior to purchase. If you are still uncertain about a product's compatibility or suitability for your project, please contact our sales department for assistance before making a purchase (phone +64 9 5252991 or email sales@msel.com).
We do not offer refunds if you change your mind. As per the Consumers Guarantee Act (NZ), changing your mind is not a valid reason for either cancelling or returning an order.
All returns must be accompanied by a completed RMA form. If an item is returned without an RMA form, no refund will be granted. Further, returns are subject to inspection to ensure that they meet our requirements. Products that appear to have been used or installed contrary to the manufacturer's instructions, improperly handled, packaged, or shipped by the customer will not be eligible for exchange, refund, or warranty consideration.
Inspections of returned merchandise are usually completed within three days of receipt of the return. Additional time may be needed if the merchandise must be returned to the manufacturer / vendor for further testing.
We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee or refuse a return.
Some items may qualify for return if they are in new / unused condition with all paperwork, tags and packaging intact within 14 days of receiving the product. All returns must be approved by MSEL in advance. An RMA number will be provided by MSEL once the return has been authorized. MSEL reserves the right to refuse returned packages which do not arrive with a valid RMA number.
If an item is being returned for exchange a full credit for the value of the goods will be issued and applied to the cost of the replacement. The customer is responsible for all shipping costs to and from MSEL. The customer is responsible for any damage that occurs as a result of improper packaging of the returned goods.
If a product is being returned for refund a minimum 15% restocking fee (minimum $20 fee) will be deducted along with shipping costs (to and from MSEL). This is to cover administrative, evaluation and repacking costs. Any returns must be in an as new condition and be able to be sold again as new (i.e.. no courier labels on packaging and seals not broken).

There is no return possible for the following products:
- Software Licenses (eg. Motec enable codes, Life Racing enables)

- Custom-made items and product cut to length (eg. wiring looms, DR-25 heat shrink and wire)

Package up the product well and return it to Motorsport Electronics.
We will do our best to turn around the warranty claim within 3 days. Please note that the product warranty is covered by the original manufacturer (not Motorsport Electronics) so there maybe a hold up if they are asking for more information or if they want to repair the product.
