DigitalChoiceHub.com

Last Updated: May 2025

📋  Important Notice  DigitalChoiceHub.com operates as both an online retail store and an affiliate content platform. Digital Choice Store serves customers online within Kenya — if you are based in Kenya, you can shop directly from us. Customers outside Kenya who cannot purchase from our store can shop via our affiliate partner links (e.g., Amazon); those returns are governed by the respective retailer under their policies. See Section 2 for affiliate retailer guidance and Section 4 for international customer support.

1. About DigitalChoiceHub.com

DigitalChoiceHub.com is a dual-function platform operating as:

• An online retail store (Digital Choice Store) — selling consumer electronics and technology products directly to customers within Kenya. We accept orders online and fulfil deliveries to customers across Kenya.
• An affiliate content and publishing platform — providing expert reviews, comparisons, and buyer’s guides for a global audience, with links to third-party retailers such as Amazon for customers who cannot be served by our Kenya-based store.

We earn a small commission when readers purchase products through our affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. Our editorial opinions remain independent and are not influenced by affiliate relationships.

When purchasing through Digital Choice Store directly, your transaction is with us and all return, refund, and exchange matters are handled under this policy. Our direct store currently serves customers located within Kenya only. When purchasing through an affiliate retailer link, the transaction is with that retailer and their applicable policies govern.

2. Returns for Purchases via Affiliate Retailer Links

If you purchased a product by clicking an affiliate link on our website, all returns must be initiated directly with the retailer from whom you purchased. The return experience — including timelines, conditions, and procedures — is governed entirely by that retailer’s policy.

Retailer	Return Window	How to Start	Policy Link
Amazon	Typically 30 days	amazon.com/returns	amazon.com/returns

*  Return windows and conditions are subject to change. Always verify the current policy directly on the retailer’s website.

3. Returns for Purchases Made Directly from Digital Choice Store

🛒  This Section Applies To You If…  You are a customer based in Kenya and purchased a physical product directly through the Digital Choice Store — our own Kenya-serving storefront — rather than through a third-party retailer link. If you are unsure where you purchased, check your order confirmation email: orders fulfilled by Digital Choice Hub will reference @digitalchoicehub.com or “Digital Choice Store” as the sender.

3.1 Return Window

We accept returns on eligible items purchased directly from Digital Choice Store within 7 days of the confirmed delivery date. Return requests submitted after this window will not be accepted, except in cases involving manufacturing defects or mis-shipped items (see Section 3.5).

3.2 Eligibility Conditions

To qualify for a return, the following conditions must be met:

• The item must be in its original, unused, and undamaged condition
• All original packaging, accessories, manuals, and included components must be returned
• The item must not have been assembled, modified, or installed
• Proof of purchase (order confirmation or receipt) must be provided
• The return request must be initiated within 7 days of the delivery date

⚠️ Non-Returnable Items  The following items are not eligible for return regardless of condition: digital downloads and software licences, items marked “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable” at the time of purchase, consumable products that have been opened or used, bundled products where individual items have been separated, and personalised or custom-ordered goods.

3.3 How to Initiate a Return

1. Submit a return request via the Contact page on DigitalChoiceHub.com within the 30-day window
2. Include your order number, the item(s) you wish to return, and the reason for return
3. Our team will review your request and respond within 3 business days with a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) number
4. Pack the item securely, write the RMA number clearly on the outside of the parcel, and ship it to the address provided in the approval email
5. Returns sent without an approved RMA number will not be accepted and may be returned to sender at the customer’s expense

💡  Pro Tip  We recommend using a tracked shipping service for your return. Digital Choice Hub is not responsible for items lost or damaged in transit during the return journey. Keep your tracking number until your refund has been processed.

3.4 Return Shipping Costs

Return Reason	Who Covers Shipping?
Change of mind / no longer needed	Customer

3.5 Defective, Damaged, or Mis-Shipped Items

• Your order number and contact details
• A clear description of the issue
• Photographs of the item, any visible damage, and the outer packaging

Upon verification, we will arrange a prepaid return label and offer one of the following resolutions at your preference: a full refund to your original payment method, a replacement unit (subject to stock availability), or store credit of equivalent value.

3.6 Refunds

Once your returned item has been received and inspected by our team, we will notify you by email of the outcome within 5 business days. Approved refunds will be processed as follows:

• Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout
• Processing time is typically 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card provider
• Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable, except where the return is due to our error
• Partial refunds may be issued where items are returned incomplete or with signs of use

3.7 Exchanges

We are happy to exchange an eligible item for a different size, colour, or variant of the same product, subject to availability. To request an exchange, follow the return process in Section 3.3 and state in your request that you would prefer an exchange. If the requested variant is out of stock, we will issue a full refund instead.

3.8 Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled without penalty within 24 hours of placement, provided they have not yet been dispatched. To cancel, contact us immediately via the website. Once an order has been shipped, the standard return process applies.

4. International Customers

🌍  This Section Applies To You If…  You are located outside Kenya and are therefore unable to purchase directly from Digital Choice Store, which currently serves customers within Kenya only. In such cases, we recommend purchasing through one of our international affiliate retail partners who ship to your region.

4.1 Recommended International Retailers

The following affiliate partners offer international shipping and can serve customers in regions where Direct Choice Store does not currently fulfil orders:

Retailer	Ships To	How to Access	Notes
Amazon (Global)	150+ countries	amazon.com or local Amazon store	Use amazon.com or your regional Amazon (e.g. amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.co.jp)

⚠️  Note  International purchases made through affiliate links are subject to that retailer’s individual return and shipping policies. Digital Choice Hub is not responsible for customs duties, import taxes, or cross-border shipping charges that may apply in your country.

4.2 Customs, Duties & Import Taxes

When purchasing from international retailers, please be aware:

• Import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer and are determined by your local customs authority.
• Declared values on shipping documents reflect the actual purchase price and cannot be modified.
• Rejected or returned international shipments due to customs non-payment are typically handled by the originating retailer under their policy.
• We recommend checking your country’s import thresholds before placing high-value orders.

4.3 International Returns via Affiliate Retailers

If you purchased via an affiliate retailer link and need to return an item from outside the retailer’s home country, the process is governed entirely by that retailer. General guidance:

• Contact the retailer’s international support team directly — most major retailers offer multilingual support or online return portals.
• Retain all documentation including customs receipts, as these may be required for international return processing.
• Return shipping costs for international orders are typically the buyer’s responsibility unless the item is defective or incorrect.
• Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee may offer additional protection for international buyers on eligible marketplace purchases.

4.4 Contact Us for Regional Guidance

If you are unsure which purchasing channel is best for your region, or if you are experiencing difficulty with an international order or return, please reach out via our Contact page. While we cannot intervene directly in retailer disputes, we can help guide you to the right resources.

5. Amazon Returns (Our Primary Affiliate Partner)

The majority of our product recommendations link to Amazon. Amazon’s return policy generally allows returns within 30 days of delivery for most items. Here is a general overview:

5.1 Standard Return Eligibility

• Items must be returned within 30 days of the delivery date
• Products must be in original or near-original condition
• All original accessories, manuals, and packaging should be included
• Some categories (e.g. software, consumables, digital content) may be non-returnable

5.2 How to Initiate an Amazon Return

• Visit amazon.com and sign in to your account
• Navigate to “Returns & Orders” in the top right corner
• Select the order and item you wish to return
• Choose a return reason and preferred refund or replacement option
• Print the return label and drop off at an approved carrier or Amazon Hub location

💡  Pro Tip  Amazon Prime members often benefit from free return shipping on eligible items. If you are not a Prime member, return shipping costs may be deducted from your refund depending on the item category.

6. Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Items

If you receive a product that is defective, damaged in transit, or does not match the product description, we strongly recommend taking the following steps:

6.1 Document the Issue

• Take clear photographs of the product, packaging, and any visible damage
• Note the order number, delivery date, and product condition upon arrival
• Keep all original packaging until the matter is resolved

6.2 Contact the Retailer Immediately

• Most retailers prioritise reports of damaged or defective goods if raised promptly
• Provide your order number, photos, and a clear description of the issue
• Request a prepaid return label — most reputable retailers will cover this cost

6.3 Escalation Options

If a retailer declines a legitimate defective-item claim, you may consider the following escalation paths:

• File a dispute with your credit card provider or payment processor
• Contact the product manufacturer directly for warranty support
• Submit a complaint to consumer protection authorities in your jurisdiction

7. Warranty Claims

Many of the products we review and recommend carry manufacturer warranties. DigitalChoiceHub.com is not party to any warranty agreement between the consumer and the manufacturer or retailer. However, we encourage you to:

• Register your product with the manufacturer immediately after purchase to activate warranty coverage
• Retain your proof of purchase (receipt or order confirmation) for the full warranty period
• Review the warranty terms included in the product packaging or available on the manufacturer’s website
• Contact the manufacturer’s customer support directly for warranty-related service or replacement

⚠️  Watch Out  Third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon may have different return and warranty policies than Amazon itself. Always check the seller’s individual return policy before completing a purchase, especially for high-value electronics.

8. Affiliate Disclosure & No Liability
