Coverplus Pre-Owned Warranty

 

CoverPlus Pre-Owned is a 12 month warranty provided by Wilkinson Cameras, included with pre-owned items

Your warranty covers manufacturing faults. With CoverPlus Pre-Owned, we take the standard manufacturer’s warranty for your pre-owned purchase and honour this for 12 months, so that you have the ultimate peace of mind, in case your new-to-you item develops a fault.

Please note that this does not cover accidental damage and is not a form of insurance. CoverPlus Pre-Owned is included with all pre-owned purchases as standard.

Claiming on your CoverPlus Pre-Owned warranty:

If your product develops a fault, the first step is to troubleshoot the problem and get in touch.

1. Look for any obvious reasons for the breakdown and consult the troubleshooting guide in the manufacturer's handbook or on their website
2. If that doesn't resolve the issue, please get in touch for technical help. The best way to do this is to use our Live Help service on the website (Monday to Friday from 9.15am until 5.00pm) or take it to your local store. Out of working hours, please email [email protected]

 

When contacting Support, you will need:

• Your product name and model number. i.e. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
• Your purchase date and proof of purchase* (if you no longer have your receipt, please provide your online order number or postcode, house number and surname so we can attempt to find your original purchase).
If you no longer have your original proof of purchase, then we will try to find your original in-store or online order using the information you provide us. However, we cannot guarantee to be able find it and it is your responsibility to provide proof of purchase. We therefore suggest that you keep your original paper or digital receipt safe.

If Support can’t resolve the problem, then the next step is to get the item to us. You can either take this into your local store (if you haven’t already) or send the item to us.
Please note that if a fault arises after the first 30 days then the return postage costs are your responsibility. Please see “Posting your item to us” for more information including postage options, packaging advice and address information.
