We are having a ‘spring clean’. Do we really need keep the boxes that navigational equipment (chartplotter/radar scanner etc) comes in, in case the equipment ever has to be returned to the manufacturer for repair?
"You don't have to return the item in its original packaging, but you do need to make sure it’s packaged in a way that means it doesn’t get damaged. Sellers can ask you to pay if something gets damaged because it wasn’t packaged properly."
"If your contract says you must use the original packaging, this is likely to be considered an ‘unfair contract term’. You can tell the seller this and see if they’ll agree to accept the return without the original packaging."
