Electrical Items

Due to warranty implications, electrical items cannot be returned outside of the 30-day returns period.
After this time, any reduction or activation of the manufacturer’s warranty would render the item unsellable, and therefore returns cannot be accepted.

  • A completed returns form and a valid returns number are required for all returns.
  • Returns numbers can be obtained by emailing support@alertelectrical.com prior to sending any items back.
