Returns & Warranty
X-Mods UK provides a near limitless opportunity to build your own personalised custom controller individual to you. For a completely bespoke gaming accessory, our build your own option allows you to personalise and customise every aspect of your controller with thousands of possible combinations.
Warranty
All of our controllers are earmarked as custom products, including our pre designed controllers. While yes they do have a set design, that does not indicate that they are not custom.
Our custom controllers are not covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 as they are by definition, a custom product. This means that you will get a 6 month warranty that has been set by us. You have the option to upgrade to 12 months if you so wish.
Why can I not return for refund?
Any item that is personalised or made to order is not eligible for a refund in any capacity. This includes any controller with an engraving, no matter how small.
These controllers have been personalised or made bespoke for you and as such are in eligible for a refund. They are however eligible for return for repair or replacement (in the event of a faulty or incorrect item) in accordance with our returns policy.
Bespoke and personalised items are made to order and are so exempt from the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as such, they are not eligible for refund under any circumstance. They cannot be resold and as they are resource heavy to create, would not be profitable in any way to dismantle and recreate. It would also go against our high standards of only using brand new, unused controllers for every customer.
Any item that develops a fault and is within its warranty period will be offered a repair or replacement. Any item outside of warranty can be fixed through our Send in Repair service. However please note, this only covers specific areas.
Please be aware that we will not repair or replace any custom items that have been designed incorrectly due to customer error, including typos in text or accidental selections. We may be able to change these for a charge to cover our time and associated costs, please contact us to find out more.
Returning a Faulty Item for Repair (Within 14 Days)
Please use the form linked at the bottom of this page to start the return process. Your item must be sent back within 14 days of delivery.
A small number of orders may have faults despite our rigorous testing. If you wish to use your own courier, you can at your own cost but we cannot be responsible for it being lost or damaged in transit.
You must make the fault clear when contacting us as this is what your return will be assessed against. We welcome the use of photography or video to illustrate faults.
The item must be in its original packaging with no signs of damage or tampering with the exception of the agreed fault. Our controllers are sent with a warranty sticker and this must remain in-tact.
If you wish to send your controller for repair, sending your controller in its original packaging is not necessary though please ensure it is securely wrapped to avoid damage in transit.
If any returned items are shown to have signs of damage or tampering caused by the customer, the return will be refused and there will be a charge of £10 for us to return the item to you plus any delivery costs as currently calculated at checkout. This also applies where the fault has not existed in an attempt to return the item free of postage, where double the amount of postage will be charged to cover both the fraudulent attempt and return postage.
Damage and tampering include but is not limited to:- the controller be opened in any way, screws being removed, dirt or foreign materials clogging or breaking buttons, water damage, accidental or intentional damage through dropping the controller or unreasonable force.

For the item to be returned to you, you will need to pay for 2 lots of postage costs plus a £10 handling fee to account for the free postage fraudulently obtained. Postage is at our current rate.
Royal Mail do not currently allow us to offer an international returns label. Because of this, we may have to ask you to post the item back at your expense for which we will refund you upon proof of postage.

Postage will be refunded up to a maximum cost of our original shipping rates for your country.
