Hey.

Bought the gigabyte G32QC from OCUK and decided to RMA it due to significant backlight bleed and other issues. OCUK have decided it's not a fault and must be returned at my own expense.

My go to was DPD but I'm just realising that monitors are on their prohibited list. Same for many other couriers, or uninsurable.

What's the best way to complete this return?

I haven't fact-checked myself but under Consumer Regulations (replaced DSR) as it's not a fault return is at customers expense.

yeah but you can change your mind about a purchase and they can take a restocking fee. could be wrong am not clued up on this at all.

pretty poor that your being forced to accept bad qc products though.

surely if it's within 14 (i think) days you can get a refund no?

Yeah as pointed out above, with it being classed as a 14 day 'changed my mind' return and not the 30 day fault return, it's down to me to arrange. I mean, what am I supposed to do if no couriers will take or insure it?

You simply have to risk it or drive to Stoke yourself.

There is no restocking fee for consumers AFAIK
 
It looks like parcel force will do it. Can't see anything on the restrictions page about monitors or TVs. £300 damage and loss insurance.

Still gonna cost me 30 quid. I've reached out to OCUK anyway over it so parcel force is my plan B.
 
Sorry to say but im sure Parcelforce don't cover monitors.

Monitors on DPD prohibited list but have been delivering monitors for years from OCUK and various other online stores.

I had to deal with UPS when I was doing a RMA on an Asus monitor, might be worth checking with them.

Do you have a link for this as I can't find these restrictions when creating a parcel. They have a list but nothing about monitors and TVs.
 
I would just say I don’t want it anymore and as it’s assumed location is ocuk anyway they can just keep it and sort out a refund.
If not then go somewhere else in the future.

Sounds like the decision has been made based on conversation rather than the monitor already going back to OCUK. OP needs to get it back to them for the refund.

I see now, thanks


I would just drive there, Liverpool to ocuk would only be about 45 mins to an hour.
