Faulty Returns
If you receive a faulty item or if there are any issues with your order, please contact our Customer Support Team to request a return of faulty goods. MedCart Customer service will ask you for evidence of the fault and for your proof of purchase. MedCart Customer Service will investigate the issue with the Seller and advise you on next steps.
Next steps may require you to provide further video or photo evidence to have your faulty return approved. It may also require you to send the products for physical inspection of the fault. If your product requires physical inspection, MedCart support team will provide you information on how and where to return your goods for inspection.
The seller will provide a pre-paid return label for return of faulty goods, upon approval of return based on photo or video evidence.
If the seller requires a physical inspection, and the seller deems there is no fault with the item (for example, where the seller believes the goods have been misused, or there was a failure to use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, used it in an abnormal way or there has been a failure to take reasonable care), the seller will reject your claim and return your goods to you.
You must cover the cost of return shipping in order to receive goods that the seller has rejected on inspection. MedCart will provide you with instructions on how to make this payment.
Due to hygienic and safety reasons, returns of certain faulty goods are not necessary. However, remedies for faulty goods are still available in these cases.
Please see the following list of products not requiring physical returns (Video & Photo Evidence required):
- Cosmetics & Beauty products (If hygiene seal is broken)
