My product is not what I expected. What now?

Despite the low prices of our products, we do not compromise on quality. We think it is important that the product does what it promises.

What you can expect differs per product. Important factors include the price, the type of product, the brand, the normal lifespan and what is stated on the packaging. Normal wear and tear is not covered by the warranty. An additional manufacturer's warranty applies to some products. This is indicated on the packaging of the product.If the product breaks within 12 months of purchase, it may not meet our quality requirements. If the product breaks after 12 months or longer, we ask you to prove yourself that it really is due to the quality of the product.If you want to make a warranty claim, you must be in possession of proof of purchase.

Other questions

Why can't I order certain items online that are available in store?

We currently offer an 'online only' range in our online shop. This range is specially selected, changes every week and is quite different from the range in our stores. This is why it is not possible to order products you may have seen in store in our online shop.

I saw a cool product on social media, but when I went to order it, it was sold out. How is that possible?

Our latest online deals go live at 12:00 every Tuesday. These deals are for a limited time only and have limited stock. Our online shop has one golden rule: 'when it's gone, it's gone!'. While we make every effort to ensure we have sufficient stock levels, an item is sometimes so successful that it sells out in a matter of minutes.

You can stay up to date on our new online deals through our website, newsletter and social media channels to make sure you never miss out on an offer.

Can I also order items in the Weekly Offer online?

The Weekly OfferContactForm is part of our stores, which means it is not usually possible to order items in the Weekly Offer online.

Items are available once in the Weekly Offer and in the online shop as an online deal. You can then buy the item in store and online at the same great price.

The colours of the item I've received are different to those shown in the product photos in the online shop. How is that possible?

While we do our utmost to provide you with as realistic a picture of our products as possible in the online shop, colours sometimes look a little different in real life. This is usually due to your computer's colour settings or the type of screen on which you're viewing the product.

Where can I see if an item is only available online?

All items in our online shop can be ordered online. Some items can only be ordered online (either on a permanent or temporary basis). You can recognise such items by the light blue 'Online only' banner and the text 'Note: This product is only available online' in the product description.

If a product doesn't have the 'Online only' banner, we'll also sell it in store (subject to stock levels, of course).

Note: Depending on the item and stock levels, some 'Online only' products may be available to purchase in store at a later date. Action reserves the right to make such amendments at any time.

I'd like to include my VAT number on my invoice. Is that possible?

As our online shop is only aimed at private individuals, it's not possible to include your VAT number on the invoice for your purchase.
