Feels brand New

Replacement Policy

Effective Date: August 2026

At Feels Brand New ("FBN", "Company", "we", "our", "us"), customer trust is at the heart of everything we do. Every refurbished device sold on our platform undergoes extensive diagnostic testing, quality control checks, cosmetic grading, authentication procedures, and functionality verification before dispatch. Because many of our products are professionally refurbished, certified pre-owned, limited-availability devices, each unit is unique and inventory may not always be replaceable on an identical serial-number basis. This Replacement Policy explains the circumstances under which a replacement, refund, or other resolution may be provided. By purchasing any product from Feels Brand New, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Policy.

Everything you should know about replacements.

The packaging, seal, or box condition of a product shall not, by itself, determine the product's functionality, quality, warranty eligibility, merchantability, or fitness for its intended purpose. A product shall not be considered defective solely because its original packaging has been opened, unsealed, replaced, or shows signs of prior handling, inspection, testing, activation, or transit.

The condition of every product is clearly disclosed on the product page and invoice.

02

Order Cancellation

Before Dispatch

Customers may request cancellation of an order before the product has been dispatched. Where a cancellation request is approved before dispatch, FeelsBrandNew shall process the refund after deducting any non-refundable payment gateway charges, transaction processing fees, banking charges, payment collection charges, financing charges, third-party platform charges, or other costs actually incurred by the Company in processing the order.

🚚

After Dispatch

If an order is cancelled after dispatch, shipping charges (both ways) and gateway charges (if any) will be deducted before refund.

03

Replacement-First Resolution Policy

FBN follows a Replacement-First Resolution Model. Where an eligible issue is verified under this Policy, the Company will first attempt to provide a replacement solution before considering any other remedy.

The Company reserves the right to determine the most appropriate resolution including:

  • Like-for-like replacement
  • Equivalent replacement
  • Repair of the product where the Company determines that the reported issue can be effectively resolved without replacement
  • Dispatch of missing accessories
  • Store credit
  • Refund where replacement is not reasonably possible
04

Eligible Return & Replacement Reasons
Feels Brand New operates a strict No-Return policy on all products sold through its platform. All sales are final.
Returns, replacements, or refunds are permitted only in the specific circumstances expressly set out under "Eligible Return & Replacement Reasons" and subject to verification by FeelsBrandNew.

Returns or replacements may be considered only in the following circumstances:

🔴

A. Dead on Arrival (DOA)

The product: does not power on; does not charge; cannot boot into the operating system; is completely unusable upon delivery.

⚙️

B. Verified Functional Defect

A material hardware defect exists that substantially impairs normal use. Examples: display failure, touchscreen failure, charging failure, motherboard failure, camera failure, keyboard failure, trackpad failure, speaker failure, hardware malfunction verified by FeelsBrandNew (HDMI/USB/LAN ports).

📦

C. Wrong Product Delivered

The delivered product materially differs from the product ordered. Examples: wrong model, wrong storage, wrong RAM, wrong processor category, wrong colour (where specifically ordered).

D. Missing Item

An accessory specifically listed in the product description is missing from the package.

🚚

E. Transit Damage

The product is damaged during transit and such damage is reported within 24 hours of delivery together with an uninterrupted unboxing video clearly showing: the sealed package; the shipping label; the opening process; the damaged condition of the product.

🎨

F. Material Cosmetic Grade Mismatch

Where a refurbished, open-box or graded product is delivered in a condition materially inconsistent with the cosmetic grade expressly represented in the product listing. Normal wear and tear, minor cosmetic variations, and conditions disclosed in the listing shall not qualify.

Failure to report transit damage within 24 hours of delivery, or failure to provide the required unboxing video, shall render the claim ineligible for return, replacement, refund, or warranty consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, no transit damage claim shall be entertained after the product has been used, activated, installed, configured, or put into service.

The following shall not constitute valid grounds for return, replacement or refund:

  • Cosmetic characteristics consistent with disclosed grading
  • Open-box, activated, inspected, tested, displayed, unsealed, repackaged, or previously handled products where such condition was disclosed at the time of sale
  • Packaging condition, seal condition, activation status, or box condition alone shall not constitute a defect
  • Wireless performance variations relating to Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity, pairing, synchronization, signal strength, wireless range, audio latency, environmental interference, telecom providers, or third-party devices
  • Sound quality preferences, bass response preferences, microphone quality expectations, volume expectations, wireless range expectations, latency concerns, or subjective dissatisfaction with audio characteristics
  • Cable fraying, bent connectors, broken pins, damaged insulation, loose connections, twisting, stretching, crushing, improper storage, pet damage, rodent damage, liquid exposure, voltage fluctuations, power surges, misuse, or unauthorized modification of chargers, cables, adapters, accessories, speakers, AI devices, or other products

Except in the limited circumstances expressly set out under "Eligible Return & Replacement Reasons", all sales are final and all products sold by FeelsBrandNew shall be deemed non-returnable, non-refundable, and non-exchangeable.
06

Mandatory Unboxing Video Requirement

To protect both customers and the Company from fraud and shipping disputes, a continuous, unedited, uninterrupted unboxing video is mandatory for claims involving: transit damage; wrong item received; missing accessories; physical condition disputes.

Inspection & Verification

All claims are subject to verification. FeelsBrandNew may: conduct remote diagnostics; request additional evidence; verify serial numbers and IMEI numbers; inspect the returned product; perform technical testing.

Customers must provide: order number; invoice copy.

Approval of a return request does not automatically mean the claim is accepted. Final eligibility shall be determined after inspection and verification.
08

Serial Number & Component Authentication

Prior to dispatch, FBN records and maintains digital records including: IMEI numbers; serial numbers; hardware identifiers (usb, vga/hdmi, lan ports); cosmetic condition records; internal quality reports (battery health, keyboard functionality, mike, camera, touch pad, speakers, Hard disk health, RAM testing, WIFI/bluetooth testing); device photographs; security markings (warranty seal should not be broken); component specifications.
