Return & Refund Policy

Policy at a Glance

1. Overview

Thank you for visiting DeviceBuzz (devicebuzz.com). This Return & Refund Policy outlines how returns, exchanges, and refunds apply to products that users discover on our platform and purchase through our affiliate links.

DeviceBuzz is an independent smartphone specifications, review, and price-comparison website serving a global audience — with a primary user base in Pakistan, India, and other international markets including the UAE, UK, USA, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. We provide consumers with detailed technical specifications, pricing data, and expert insights to assist in making informed purchase decisions.

When you click a product link on DeviceBuzz, you are redirected to an authorized third-party retailer — such as Amazon, Flipkart, Daraz, or an official brand store — where the transaction takes place. DeviceBuzz does not process payments, hold inventory, or fulfil orders, and is not the merchant of record for any purchase. All return and refund requests must be submitted directly to the retailer from which the product was purchased.

2. Our Affiliate Model

DeviceBuzz participates in affiliate advertising programs. When you click a "Buy Now", "Check Price", or similar button on our website, you are redirected to a third-party retailer's website. If a purchase is completed, DeviceBuzz may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you. This relationship does not make DeviceBuzz a party to your purchase contract — which is solely between you and the retailer.

• DeviceBuzz does not collect or store any payment information.
• DeviceBuzz does not ship, warehouse, or handle physical products.
• DeviceBuzz has no access to order history or transaction data held by retailers.
• DeviceBuzz cannot issue refunds, process returns, or intervene in retailer disputes on your behalf.

3. Return Window

All products purchased through affiliate links on DeviceBuzz carry a standard return window of 30 days from the date of delivery, consistent with the policies of the major authorised retailers we partner with globally, including Amazon, Flipkart, Daraz, and official brand stores.

• Standard Return Window: 30 days from the date of delivery.
• Applicable Regions: Pakistan (PK), India (IN), UAE, UK, USA, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and all other regions where our affiliate links are accessible.

Return requests must be initiated within 30 days of the delivery date. Requests submitted after this window has expired may not be accepted by the retailer. Individual retailers may apply shorter windows for specific categories — always verify with the retailer before completing your purchase.

• Pakistan note: Daraz.pk may apply a 7-day return window for certain electronics categories.
• India note: Flipkart applies a 10-day return window for smartphones. Amazon.in typically offers 30 days.
• International note: For UAE, UK, USA, and other markets, please confirm the applicable return window with the local retailer at the time of purchase.

4. Return Fees & Shipping Costs

Return fees vary depending on the reason for return and the retailer's policy. The table below reflects the general structure applied by major retailers:

Note: DeviceBuzz does not charge any return or handling fees. All fees listed above are levied solely by the third-party retailer. Always review the retailer's specific fee schedule before initiating a return.

5. Refunds & Exchanges

Refund Type

Eligible returns are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price, credited to the original payment method used at the time of purchase. Partial refunds may be applied by the retailer for opened or lightly used items at their discretion.

• Refunds are credited to the original payment method (credit/debit card, bank account, UPI, digital wallet, or COD reversal).
• Processing time is typically 3–14 business days after the retailer receives and inspects the item.
• Restocking fees may apply for opened items depending on the retailer's policy.
• Original delivery fees are generally non-refundable unless the return is due to a retailer error or defect.

Exchanges

Exchanges are accepted through the respective retailer, subject to product availability. Common scenarios include replacing a defective unit, exchanging for a different color or storage variant of the same model, or requesting a different device (which typically requires a return and a new purchase).

DeviceBuzz cannot process, approve, or track refunds or exchanges. All such requests must be directed to the relevant retailer's customer support team.

6. Retailer-Specific Return Policies

The table below summarizes return terms for major retailers referenced on DeviceBuzz. Always check the retailer's current policy before purchase, as terms can change.

• Pakistan users: For Daraz.pk, Telemart, or local Pakistani retailers, refer to their Pakistan-specific return pages. Local windows may be shorter than the standard 30 days.
• India users: For Flipkart, Amazon.in, Croma, Reliance Digital, or other Indian retailers, refer to their India-specific return pages. Flipkart's standard window for smartphones is 10 days.
• International users: For UAE, UK, USA, and other markets, consult the return policy of the specific retailer in your country at the time of purchase.

7. How to Return a Product

Since all purchases are fulfilled by third-party retailers, please follow the steps below:

1. Identify the Retailer

   Check your order confirmation email or receipt to confirm which retailer fulfilled your order (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart, Daraz, or an official brand store).

2. Initiate Within 30 Days of Delivery

   Ensure your return request is submitted within 30 days of the delivery date. Requests after this window may not be accepted.

   Follow the retailer's instructions. You will typically need your order number, registered email address, and reason for return.

5. Pack and Ship the Product

   Repackage the device in its original box with all accessories, manuals, SIM trays, and documentation. Affix the retailer's return label and ship via their designated courier service.

6. Track Your Refund

   Once the retailer receives and inspects the item, your full refund will be processed within 3–14 business days. You will receive a confirmation email when the refund is issued.

8. Non-Returnable Items

The following items are commonly excluded from return eligibility by retailers and manufacturers:

• Devices that have been activated on a carrier or mobile network.
• Products with broken seals, physical damage, liquid damage, or buyer misuse.

Please review the retailer's excluded items list before initiating any return request.

9. Return Eligibility Conditions

To be eligible for a return through the relevant retailer, the following general conditions must be met:

• Proof of purchase (order confirmation email, invoice, or receipt) available and presented to the retailer.
