How many times can I use my code, and can I use it on multiple products?
The discount code can only be used once.
When will my current product be collected?
Once you have made your order with your 25% discount code the Trade-In team will book a DPD collection for your returning product. Collection will usually take place the following week from your order being placed. Please ensure you place your order for the new product as soon as possible, so that you receive your new product before the returning one is collected.*
DPD will send you a text message regarding the collection, and you can specify a day for the collection to make sure it's at a time most convenient for you.
There is no return label to print off for the collection, the DPD driver will take care of this, all you have to do is ensure the product is boxed and ready to give to the DPD driver.
What about postage and packing my current product?
We'll cover the cost of shipping your product. Simply pack the product in an appropriately sized box. Affix the prepaid shipping label and we will collect the product from you. You do not need a Focusrite or Novation box or the original packaging.
There may be a slight delay in collecting your product over the holiday period due to high order volumes. But don't worry we will be in touch as soon as we can.
What happens to my old product?
Once we receive your old product our team will test and evaluate it. If it's in good shape, we'll help it get ready to go to a new home. If not, we'll send it for recycling where parts will be reused for spares and repairs, helping us to reduce the quantity of materials we create and use.
Does my discount code expire?
Yes, codes will expire up to a year after being issued.
