Returns/Exchanges

As Lone Kiwi Parts Finder is an auto parts broker, we are bound by the warranties of our suppliers. There is no return on electrical items.  Engines are sold as longblocks, though parts may be left on for convenience. Body parts (including lights and interiors) are sold “as is”. Any parts returned and any orders cancelled for any reason, may be subject to freight, finders and/or restock fees. For this reason, we ask you to contact us if there is a problem. While used parts generally offer a large savings over new parts, the buyer also understands there is a risk in used parts, and assumes that risk.  We do retain the right to exchange or replace any part, and substitute comparable parts. We will commit ourselves to finding suitable replacement parts, and if none are available, we will offer a refund based on this agreement.  If a replacement is available at higher than the original purchase price, the buyer has the option of paying the difference or returning the part for a refund minus finder's fees.  Defective or incorrect parts must be returned before an exchange is issued, and in the original (not altered or damaged) condition as when purchased. Finder's fees are non-refundable.  If payment is made through Paypal, buyer agrees to pay finder's fee in the event of any return.  Any transit times given are estimates only. Other factors such as weather, supplier’s schedule or freight company issues can alter delivery times and are beyond our control. For this reason we do not offer tracking numbers until 7 business days after the purchase date. Please inspect your item closely upon receipt.  Any damages should be marked on the freight bill, as this may be the only way to ensure items damaged in transit (and unfortunately, it does happen) will be credited by the freight company. Business addresses are preferred for deliveries. Exceptions can be made, with additional charges being the responsibility of the customer. Mileage quotes are based on information supplied by vendors and have not been verified.  Lone Kiwi Parts Finder assumes no liability for inaccurate listings.  Part interchangability is based on the Hollander interchange system.  The part you order is sold as for and not from any specific model or automobile, as a recycler cannot know if a part has been changed before a vehicle goes to salvage.  Lone Kiwi accepts no responsibility for inaccurate Hollander interchanges, but will work with you to secure a replacement part. The purchaser understands that Lone Kiwi Parts Finder is acting as a broker and is not responsible for any loss caused from purchase, installation, removal, repair, replacement or use of any merchandise, or from any action by our suppliers. Any returns or exchanges outside of this agreement are at the sole discretion of Lone Kiwi Parts Finder.

We do accept non-refundable deposits to hold parts for 30 days. If the balance is not paid within 30 days, the deposit is forfeited. There are no exceptions, as we have to pay non-refundable deposits to our suppliers.
