Returns & Exchanges

Serious Detecting offers a simple 30-Day Money Back Guarantee*. Within 30 days of receipt of your order you may return or exchange any detector or accessory for a full refund, as long as all items are new, unused, unassembled, in the original unopened packaging, with the manufacturer’s warranty and instruction manual. When you are returning products, return shipping, insurance, etc. are your responsibility. If your item was shipped under a free shipping promotion, shipping charges will be deducted from your refund. Alternatively, you can get the refund in the form of store credit if you prefer. No shipping charges will be deducted from the store credit.

If the return is a result of our error or if the item is defective (out of the box), please send it back within 14 days of purchase for an exchange. We will pay the shipping costs.

If you are returning an item that has been opened or used, but not damaged, you will be charged a 15% restocking fee within the 30-day period. We are unable to accept returns after the 30-day period.

Any bundled items with a product will have to be returned in new condition with the original product it was bundled with. If you are returning a bundled item that has been opened or used, but not damaged, you will be charged a 15% restocking fee within the 30-day period deducted from the original item's price.

*All sales of Tero Vido Products and Nokta Invenio Metal Detectors are Final Sales. No Returns or Refunds are offered.
