General Returns
Store Returns: Please choose carefully as we are not obliged to refund or exchange due to a change of mind. If the goods are faulty we will meet our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act to provide a remedy.
All product returns need to be returned to base at the customers cost.
For Online Purchases: You can return an item for a full refund subject to approval by the management team within 7 working days providing the item is in the same condition it was in when purchased i.e. Brand New. Once an item has been used* it cannot be returned for a refund. Items must be returned with all included accessories and packaging. You MUST have the original receipt for a refund, without this receipt we will not refund the item or accept it into service. If an item is faulty, it will fall under our Warranty Policy as described below and will not be eligible for a refund. We do not sell used items and will not accept any item with any indication that it was used. In such cases, the item will be returned to the purchaser. Please note that consumable items such as batteries are excluded from this policy and will not be accepted for an exchange or refund. Special orders or bulk order returns will be subject to approval by the management team.
Backordered and Hot Deal Item Return Policy: These items can take up to 12 working days for delivery and sometimes even longer. Please note that all ‘Hot Deal’ orders are specifically ordered in on your behalf. If you choose to cancel the order after it has been placed and falls inside the stated 12 working day delivery time frame, you will be charged a cancellation fee of 10% of the order total or $20 whichever is greater. Hot Deal product names on our website end in (HD) to indicate this is a ‘Hot Deal’. We will get in touch at least once a week to update you on your order, if you do not wish to wait after 12 working days we will refund you the full amount. Normal back ordered items (These are products that are simply out of stock) do not incur a cancellation fee and can be cancelled at any time. Once you have received your hot deal product, if you wish to return it within 7 days of receipt for anything other than a fault, you will also be charged a restock fee of 10% of the product sale price.

Warranty Policy
Parallel Imported will fulfill all of our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
All our products carry a standard 1 year warranty. All accessories carry a 3 month warranty.
Our warranty works on a Return To Base basis. This means that should a fault occur with your product, it will need to be returned to us for assessment.
Once we have received an item, we will book the item in and send to an independent service agent for assessment. All items are repaired if possible, if a repair is not possible or feasible, we will arrange a replacement item, if a replacement is not possible we will arrange a credit or refund.
All service items are subject to a $60 deposit payable at the time of booking item in. This deposit will be refunded should the item be repaired, replaced or credited under warranty. Should the item be found to be non-warranty, this deposit is kept as an assessment fee and will not be refunded.
Any repair/replacement comes with a minimum of 90 days warranty. Any cover after 90 days is dependent on the date of the original phone purchase.
Booking in a Service
If your device is suffering from lag, freezing, or not powering up correctly, we recommend a soft reset. This method can be found online and is specific to each model. We also recommend restoring the device to the original settings as this may rectify issues that pertain to an update. Please ensure your device is backed up prior to this.
We charge a $60.00 assessment fee which is refunded should the issue/s be the result of a manufacture fault. Should we find that the issue/s are a result of user fault (e.g. impact or water damage), the $60.00 charge will not be refunded and instead will cover the cost of your assessment. Your device will then be returned to you.
