Selection standard
We list only what we would use ourselves
Every line is chosen deliberately and proven on our own bench. Anything that falls short of the standard is rejected outright, whatever the margin.
Every claim proven before publication
Capacities, wattages, ratings and runtimes are verified against the label. Where a figure cannot be reproduced, we correct the listing or we walk away.
Certified and documented
CE and UKCA documentation, RoHS declarations and test reports travel with the shipment, ready for your own compliance file.
No questions asked returns within 7 days
Bring it back to the London returns desk within seven days and it is settled. Marcus Hale signs the credit himself.
