We encourage customers to make full use of this reassurance, as our aim is to provide exceptional vehicles and outstanding service.

This guarantee is subject to the following terms and conditions:

Eligibility Criteria

This policy applies exclusively to used vehicles purchased through our online website and only when customers utilise our shipping services. To qualify for a return, the vehicle must be returned in its original condition, free from any modifications or damage. Please ensure that all vehicles are returned in accordance with these requirements.

We encourage customers to review these eligibility criteria carefully to help ensure a smooth and straightforward return process.

Timeframe for Returns

The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee begins on the date the customer receives the vehicle and remains valid for 30 days thereafter. The vehicle must be returned within this period to remain eligible for a refund. Customers are advised to adhere strictly to this timeframe to ensure a smooth and efficient returns process.

Usage Limit

The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for eligible vehicles is subject to a specified maximum usage limit, which may vary depending on the type of vehicle. Any vehicle that exceeds this usage limit will be deemed ineligible for return under this programme. We encourage all customers to review this condition carefully to help ensure a smooth and trouble-free return process.

Return Shipping Policy

We would like to inform our valued customers that DS Global Solutions will arrange and cover the cost of return shipping. All return shipments will be handled exclusively through our approved shipping carriers to ensure a safe and seamless process.

Inspection Policy

Upon receipt of the returned vehicle, our dedicated team will conduct a thorough inspection to confirm that it is in the same condition as when originally purchased. If any modifications or damage are detected during this inspection, a restocking fee may be applied on a case-by-case basis.

Refund Policy

We are committed to providing a smooth and hassle-free return experience for our valued customers. If you choose to return your vehicle, please be assured that, provided it meets all eligibility criteria and successfully passes our inspection process, we will promptly issue a refund to your original payment method. Any applicable restocking fees will be deducted from the refund, as outlined below.

Restocking Fees Policy

We would like to inform our valued customers that a restocking fee may apply to vehicles returned in a condition that differs from their original state. This includes vehicles missing parts or accessories, as well as returns made after the 30-day policy period. Restocking fees will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure a fair evaluation, and will not exceed 10% of the original purchase price.

Exclusions

Please be advised that our 30-day Money-Back Guarantee does not apply to vehicles sold “as-is”. We encourage customers to review this policy carefully when making their purchasing decisions.
