Returns, Refunds & Warranty

  • 7 Calendar Days - Eligible Online Returns: applicable online purchases may be cancelled after receipt under the ECTA cooling-off rules, with the customer responsible only for direct return costs where permitted. Faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed goods are not limited to this ordinary return window.
  • 6 Months - Statutory Quality Protection (CPA Section 56): qualifying failed, unsafe or defective goods may be returned at POTATOTECH’s risk and expense for the remedy selected by the consumer as provided by law.

See our full Returns & Refunds Policy.

A Dry Test means connecting the new part to the device motherboard to verify it works before applying glue, removing protective films, or completing assembly.

If glue has been applied, protective films removed, or flex cables damaged before the dry test is completed, the item may not be covered by the commercial warranty. This does not affect any right you have under South African consumer law.
