Returns & Refunds

The company will always supply parts based upon the information provided by the customer during the enquiry process, the company may not accept returns if this is subsequently found to be incorrect.

Before any part can be returned an authorised returns number is to be obtained from AS Catering Supplies Ltd; failure to obtain a returns number may result in the part being refused for credit and returned back to you.

Customers are advised to always obtain Proof of Posting in case of loss in carriage as the company will not accept credit for any items lost in transit to us. Where this occurs, the customer should claim for loss against the carrier used.

Returns numbers will not be issued after 14 calendar days (from invoice date) unless the item to be returned is a warranty claim. Once a returns number had been issued all parts need to be returned within 7 days – No credits will be issued after this period. Returns carriage will be at the customer’s cost unless the reason for the return is due to an error by ASC.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will the company consider any credit beyond 30 days from the original supply.
