Shipping, Handling and Freight

Depending on the size and value of your order YankeeRoo may use Registered Post, Express Post, Airmail, Standard Postal or Courier services. Shipping charges include one or more of: postage, freight charges, registration, packaging costs, handling fees and/or additional charges levied. All charges are automatically calculated by online shipping calculators provided by Australia Post and other services; based on parcel weight, dimensions and shipping destination provided.
 
YankeeRoo operates an online sales service for various battery and measurement retail and wholesale organisations located throughout Australia. When you make a purchase from this service - and after we receive notification of confirmed payment - we send this information onto our business partners for product fulfilment. Australian domestic orders are usually processed within a fortnight of payment clearing (excluding Christmas and Easter periods and orders containing custom battery packs).
 
Orders to International Destinations are advised to review additional terms and conditions as outlined on the International Orders page. All international shipping orders that have opted for "No Tracking" shipping services do not have any claim for non-delivery refunds, as the customer has chosen to carry all risks associated with non-delivery.

Orders Containing Product Refurbishments

Some products are listed as "Refurb" or "Refurbishment". These orders are non-refundable, cannot be cancelled and require the customer to send the original unit in to us for refurbishment processing. Generally the refurbishment process takes about one fortnight (excluding holidays) to turn around and reship back to the customer; following receipt of original battery pack. If we do not receive the original unit within four calendar weeks, we will contact the customer and so advise. If the customer is non-contactable or requests early termination of the order (prior to sending in the original battery pack) we will issue a refund (less 15% processing fee, and any payment processing surcharges & fees (if any)). In the event that the refurbishment cost changes, we will honour the original sale price for a period not exceeding two months to commence work. Outside of this timeframe we will contact the customer regarding additional costs payable.

Product Descriptions

At YankeeRoo we attempt to be as accurate as possible in our item descriptions. However we do not warrant that product descriptions, images or other content of this site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Some products have product assembly options. In respect to these products, we will fulfil the order to the specification of options selected. For example the 4/V150H has a connectors option, should your order advise no connectors, then the product will be shipped with no connectors. Products such as these, that require custom assembly, are not eligible for refunds or exchange.

Product Availability and Substitutions

YankeeRoo is an authorised reseller of Master Instruments products, but we do not track their stock volumes. If, by chance, you order a product that they do not have in stock - we will refund you the difference between those products fulfilled and ordered. If you would like to backorder a specific product, please let us know at time of ordering.

In the event that a product ordered is superseded or becomes no longer available, for whatever reason, the national supplier (Master Instruments) may substitute the affected products with new or replacement products at no additional charge. If product substitution is not acceptable, please so state in the customer notes section during time of order; failure to so advise is acceptance of any such suitable substitution as advised by the national supplier.  

Backorders

Should you request a backorder you commit to awaiting for backorder fulfilment - irrespective of time to complete order. Cancelation of backorders attract a 15% order cancellation fee.

Product Pricing

Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalogue may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an incorrect pricing, we will (at our discretion) contact you regarding the pricing error. Should the our supply cost be greater than the sale cost we will request additional payment or order cancellation. If we overcharge, we will provide a credit certificate to be used in conjunction with future purchases.

Some products/services require the initial supply of battery casings for repacking. Please note that the repacking service has a minimum fee of $25, which is payable in the event that the unit cannot be repacked or repaired for whatever reason. Should this occur, the fee will be deducted from any refund credit due.

Product Warranties

By default all products are sold AS IS and EXCLUDE any warranty. Product warranty options have been added to enable the customer to select a warranty coverage period which suits their needs and cost appetite.  Products dispatched are exactly the same regardless of which warranty option is selected. Warranty selection cannot be changed once the items have been shipped. If an item is not purchased without warranty, it cannot be returned or refunded whatsoever.
