In which cases is the product replacement provided?
The product replacement on fluid-hub is one of the solutions proposed by the team after the approval of a return request, in 3 main cases:
- Defective product: the product has a manufacturing defect and the customer needs a replacement
- Wrong product: an item different from the one ordered has been shipped
- Product damaged during transport: the goods arrived in such conditions that they cannot be used
The fluid-hub team tends to propose the replacement when the customer has an operational need for the correct and functioning part (for example to complete a plant or a job in progress); the refund is proposed when the customer no longer needs the product or prefers the return of the amount.
Attention to availability: The replacement is subject to the availability of the product in stock at the time of the case management. Should the product not be available, the fluid-hub team will agree with the customer on an alternative solution (refund or other commercial agreement).
As with all B2B after-sales processes, the final decision rests with the fluid-hub team, which will evaluate each case individually and agree with the customer on the most appropriate solution.
