OUR DCC AND SOUND "Goof Proof" DECODER POLICY
Decoders and DCC components purchased from us are guaranteed to do the job expected. If a decoder fails, for any reason, within 30 days of first use, it can be returned regardless of why it failed; we will replace it. There are no long waits for factory service; a new decoder will be its way immediately.
If a decoder we sell does not perform to expectations, it can be returned for credit towards a different decoder or for refund. Often it is impossible to know how a decoder works until it is installed. This is especially true for sound decoders. We want you to try our decoders with minimal risk.
To return a decoder or DCC component, just give us a call or send an email prior to sending it back. Once you have contacted us, we will make arrangements for return or replacement. |
