Ordering and Payment

 

How do I place an order?

You can place orders with Reactive Parts online at ReactiveParts.com or over the phone +44 (0)203 603 0125 or visit our shop to place your order in person. You can pay online with a debit or credit card, PayPal, or you can apply for finance if you are in the UK (subject to status). We are unable to take PayPal payments over the phone. You can pay in person with a debit or credit card.

Can I place a telephone order?

Yes! If you prefer to talk to our customer services team or have any technical questions then call us on 0844 414 5412 / Outside UK +44 203 603 0125. Our website has been designed to offer you maximum security when ordering online and offers the added option of paying with PayPal – which cannot be used over the phone.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We always aim to offer a very fast delivery time, so once your order is placed it is sent immediately to the warehouse. If you contact us before we have shipped then yes we can amend your order, if we have already shipped your order then you will need to return for a refund or replacement (See returns/exchange). So our advice – contact us immediately if you need to make a change!

The UK Distance Selling Regulations advise you have 14 working days to cancel the contract for your order with us and we will issue you with a full refund.  Here at Reactive Parts we offer the additional flexibility of a 28 day returns policy. The 28 days start from the day after you receive your order. We need written confirmation of cancellation from you, so you'll need to raise a returns request in the ‘My Account’ section of our website. If you have already received your order, you will need to pay the cost of returning the order to us using a secure and signed for service and we cannot be held responsible for items that get lost in transit as this is the responsibility of the sender. The items must be in their original condition and will be inspected once we have received them.

How can I pay?

We accept the following methods of payment:

  • MasterCard
  • Visa
  • Visa Electron
  • Delta
  • Switch/Solo
  • Maestro
  • PayPal (Website orders only)
  • Finance (UK Only / subject to status)

 

What currency can I pay with?

Prices of our products can be displayed in GBP Pounds Sterling.

Please note that after you have placed your order, you will be charged in Pounds Sterling as the currency selector is purely indicative.

What is 3D secure?

At Reactive Parts we invest time and effort into ensuring the highest levels of security possible on all orders placed with debit and credit cards.

To support our high levels of fraud screening, we have implemented Verified by Visa and Mastercard Secure Code to provide added security, making shopping online as safe as possible.

Verified by Visa and Mastercard Secure Code is a level of security which gives you enhanced protection. It allows you to create your own password, personal to you only, for use as an extra security measure each time you use your payment card online.

Why does my payment keep being declined?

This can happen for a variety of reasons; in the first instance we always recommend you contact your bank or card provider for further details.

Will I be charged customs and import tax?

Please be advised that for countries outside the EU, as well as the Canary Islands, there may be taxes, fees or other charges that you will be expected to pay. We recommend that you check with your local customs office before placing an order these charges vary from country to country. We do not have any control over these charges and do not hold current duty rates on file.

If these local import and custom charges are refused or not paid by you, then the item could be returned to Reactive Parts or destroyed. If your order is not returned to us in these circumstances, we may not be able to refund you for your order. We would not be able to refund any original postage costs paid and can only refund for the returned products minus any costs incurred in returning them to Reactive Parts.

Do you have any shops?

Yes, you can place an order in person here at Reactive Parts (Unit 22, Chancerygate Business Centre, Whiteleaf Road, Hemel Hempstead, HP3 9HD). Alternatively, you can also place an order online at ReactiveParts.com or over the phone +44 (0) 203 603 0125.

Is my order in stock?

We carry a stock of over £2m and are constantly monitoring our best selling items to ensure fast delivery as much as possible. In the unlikely event that your order is out of stock, a member of our team will contact you to advise further.

I require more information about a specific product

If you need to ask a question about any of our products or you are not clear on what parts you should order, our customer service is always here to help. Email info@ReactiveParts.com or call +44(0)203 603 0125.

Can I reserve a product and pay later?

Unfortunately not. We do not accept any pre orders. All orders need to be paid for to confirm the order.

 

Shipping and Returns

 

Where is my order?

If your order has been dispatched and not reached you within the estimated delivery period, it could be due to one of the following reasons which will be detailed in the couriers tracking data:

*The carrier has experienced a delay in which case your tracking information should display any delays and a new delivery date.

*The delivery company has tried to deliver and has left you a calling card.

*Your parcel has been left with a neighbour.

*Your parcel has been left in a safe place.

*Delays due to local postal volumes or adverse weather conditions.

*Orders going outside of the EU may encounter customs delays.

If none of these apply, please check with the carrier or your local sorting office as they might be able to locate your parcel and provide you with further information. You can find your tracking details on an email we sent you, or within the ‘My Account’ section of our website under order history.

If you still cannot find your parcel, our customer service team is here to help.

What products are available for international delivery?

Almost all our products can be shipped overseas. In case we are unable to ship a specific product overseas, a message to this effect will be put under the product description. This might be due to carrier or certain brands restrictions.

To return a product, there is no need to call or email us, just follow these simple steps:

To request a return, please contact us at info@reactiveparts.com to speak with a member of our customer service team to discuss returning a product.

2. Repackage your products:

Once discussed with a member of our team, please repackage the products effectively to ensure no damage during transit. Please note that returned products must be unused and have all packaging and tags intact.

3. Return via a secure/signed for service

Returns are made at your own cost unless the part you received is faulty or incorrect. We recommend using a tracked and signed for service as we cannot take responsibility for items not arriving back to us. We suggest that you keep any receipts as they will contain your tracking number.

In the unlikely event that an item is returned to us in an unsuitable condition, Reactive Parts reserves the right not to refund the item and arrange to send the item back to you at your expense.

A refund confirmation email will be sent to you once your return has been processed.

When will I receive my refund?
