What if I want to change my order after it has already shipped?
If you change your mind about an order when it is already in transit, the best thing to do is accept delivery and then set up a return online (please read how to return an item above). You can send the item back to us using the shipping courier of your choice and the refund will be processed after we receive the item. Please note that return shipment charges will be borne by the customer and further refund will be done for the amount after deducting the onward shipping charges. Refunds of products in Transit will not be possible. Refunds for such items will be done after the product is returned to us.
What happens if I was shipped the wrong product or it arrived defective?
Please accept our sincere apologies! In most cases, we can send a replacement or refund you for your purchase, provided the returned item(s) are received back in their original packaging, along with all accessories, warranty cards, manuals, software, cables, etc., where applicable. A small segment of the hundreds of brands we carry require that customers contact them directly if/when problems arise. Don’t worry: these companies are among the top aquarium supply manufacturers in the industry. The reason they ask customers to work with them exclusively is because they have stringent quality control standards and their own specially trained technical support teams. These companies will offer customer support and repair or replace defective merchandise. Keep in mind that we in no way discourage you from contacting us first. We’re happy to help troubleshoot any problems you’re experiencing and will only refer you to the manufacturer if absolutely necessary.
What happens if I ordered the wrong item, wrong size or am unhappy with my purchase?
We will refund you for your purchase (minus the shipping cost), provided the returned item(s) are received back in their original packaging, along with all accessories, warranty cards, manuals, software, cables, etc. and provided your purchase is in new and unused condition. When your return is received, you will be issued a refund to your original method of payment (your credit/debit card for example) for the merchandise only. But remember it needs to be done within 24 hours of receiving the shipment.
Some of the products are not eligible for return at all. You will be prompted for that at the time of check out on your cart. Please read carefully before placing the order to avoid inconvenience. Please note that return shipment charges will be borne by the customer.
What do I do if there is something missing from my order?
The first thing you will want to do is verify you have received a box for each tracking number associated with your order. If all the boxes have been delivered and you are still missing an item, please check all of the packing material, especially for smaller products. If you come up empty-handed, contact us as soon as possible so we can investigate. We want to make sure you get what you paid for! If you received all of the products in your order but are missing a part (a piece of tubing, for instance), please contact us so we can get you the missing component. Sometimes we have spare parts in our warehouse; other times we may have the manufacturer send it to you directly from their factory. Every situation is a bit different, but the bottom line is we will make sure you have a complete, fully-functional product. If the missing part is something minor you can easily pick up from a local store, we may offer you a partial refund. Either way, we will find a solution that makes you happy.
I’m told that the product I ordered is not available or not in a condition to be shipped or may not come in stock again as it’s discontinued!!
We sure take utmost care in keeping the inventory of all the listed products on the website on a regular periodic basis, but there could be unavoidable / unexpected situation where the product you have ordered is gone out of stock or is not in a condition to be shipped or is expired or is being discontinued from production or has been notified by the manufacturer to be stopped from being supplied/distributed. In such an event, you will get a call / notification from our designated team. In case the order is paid, your refund towards the missing product will be processed the same day as canceled through the same mode as you paid us. It will take due course of time as prescribed by the payment gateway or the bank as per the prevailing law/rules. The liability will be maximum up to the paid amount after deducting all discounts. Slice Of Ocean or www.bangaloreaquarium.com will not be liable for any kind of loss or damage caused due to the cancellation of the order. In the event if you have ordered multiple products and only part of the order is missing, you are free to confirm to cancel the part or full order. Our team will help you in getting the partial or full refund based on your communication. It is advised that you proactively send us an email to sales@bangaloreaquarium.com with the details of order number / date and cancellation in such an event to avoid any confusion.
How do I check the status of my return?
We will keep you updated via email/SMS. When you first set up your return, we will send an email/SMS with all the details and instructions you will need to know (the email will basically reiterate key information from this page). If you are returning an item for replacement, we will send an email with your tracking number once the replacement item ships. You will also be able to track your replacement order online. If you are returning an item for refund, we will send you an email to let you know once we have credited your original method of payment (your credit /debit card for example).
How long does it take to process a return?
Once a return has been delivered to easypets.in and inspected, you will be mailed a replacement (generally within 2 business days) or receive a refund to your original method of payment, depending on the Return Type you selected when acquiring the RMA / Airway Bill (AWB). It usually takes credit/debit card companies 3 to 5 business days after a refund is issued to process the transaction and make the funds available in your account.
How do I pack my item for return?
The item itself should be placed back inside the original packaging, along with all accessories, warranty cards, manuals, software, cables, etc., where applicable. If you still have the original shipping box and packing material (bubble wrap, air pillows and/or paper), we encourage you to use them again when you send in your return. If you no longer have the original shipping box and packing material, you will need to make other arrangements. If you are using our pre-paid return label, you can package the return at a Logistics company Office store when you drop it off for shipment. Please be sure to write your RMA # clearly and conspicuously on the outside of the shipping box. If you choose not to use a label provided by us, ship your package back to the registered address by a courier of your choice.
How do I Claim warranty & Service for a product which is not working?
Please note that www.bangaloreaquarium.com (A Slice Of Ocean Company) is only a retail seller of the products listed on the website. www.bangaloreaquarium.com does not provide any warranty on the products as a seller. No claims of warranty will be entertained by Slice Of Ocean or www.bangaloreaquarium.com . All your queries related to warranty should be directed to the manufacturer/India Importer. As such all electronic / Electrical products go through an intense testing process before being shipped by the manufacturer. In case of filters and motor pumps, the products go through the testing in a real scenario. 99% of the products on the website do not carry any warranty. In remaining cases, the details of warranty will be mentioned on the product description. In such case you need to contact the manufacturer/Imported for claiming warranty.

Is my product used ?
Our policies commit that whenever you buy a product from www.bangaloreaquarium.com, you always get a brand new, unused product. Our return policies are made towards achieving this commitment. We do not take return of products once sold, which means you will never get a product which is brought, tested and returned to us. Unlike other big e-commerce companies which boast about NO QUESTIONS asked returns, our policies are a bit different. Most e-commerce companies claim that they have 30% returns. Which essentially means that you have a chance of getting a used or tested product or a refurbished once in every 3 purchases you do on large e-commerce companies. Though the policy is intended to help customers, a lot of times this is mis-utilized.
There may be cases where you will find moisture / water content inside all types of filters and pumps, but that the remnant of the testing done by the manufacturer, Post testing all products go through vacuum cleaning but still there are chances of water particles remaining and hence there is no reason to worry. Testing is done to ensure no leakage or any kind of manufacturing defects remain in the product shipped to you.
