Delivery
We aims to deliver items ordered to you as soon possible. Units with software or components to be fitted please allow an extra 1-2 days. International orders are generally received in under 7 days.
To help you plan for your delivery, we will send you an e-mail with tracking details, as soon as your order has been shipped. You are also very welcome to contact us on the target delivery day, for a tracking update.
Our couriers do not work to predesignated time slots, or contact customers prior to delivery, so someone will need to be 'in' from 8am to 6pm on that day, at the delivery address, to sign for the goods. Because the items we sell are high risk, our couriers are legally contracted to deliver only to the delivery address given on order. If no-one is 'in' at the delivery address to sign, our couriers will not normally deliver to any other address (eg a neighbour's).
Please contact us for further details.
We wish that our delivery conditions did not have to be so stringent, but the IT industry is classed as 'high theft / fraud risk' by the Credit Card issuing banks and insurance companies, so I'm afraid that this has to be reflected in our delivery conditions - and also in our general terms and conditions, as shown below.
We ship Worldwide. International customers must request confirmation of shipping charges before buying or bidding for an item (Unless our system is automatically showing shipping charges for your destination).
Royal Mail Item Not received:
- We rely on Royal Mail and have no control over their system. Royal Mail states that “Items cannot be considered lost until after 15 workings days(UK)/25 working days(International) of postage”.
- We always offer replacement or full refund if parcel is lost in transit. We require a signed NON DELIVERY FORM, which you can fax or scan and email it to us, this is to avoid false claims. NON DELIVERY FORM can be downloaded from: http://microdream.co.uk/form/form.pdf
All items should be checked at the time of delivery for any damage or missing items. Failure to do so may affect any warranty claims that you make thereafter.
We cannot accept any notifications of damages where we are informed later than 7 days after you took delivery.
Warranty, Returns and Cancellations
Order Cancellations
You have the right to cancel your order at any time before a confirmed delivery date free of charge.

Warranty
All orders come with a 12 month warranty (unless otherwise stated). *Free returns apply to orders above £100.
We will arrange collection and pay for the carriage of the replacement or repaired product back to you. It is always better to return the product in the same packaging used by us.
- Normal wear and tear of Product use
- Misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, abuse or other abnormal use (Don't eat or drink over your laptop. Eating on your laptop or even in front of your laptop could lead to bits of food falling into the keyboard. Some liquid food being ingested by a user could also spill over the keyboard and lead to damages in the hardware components on the motherboard.)
- Use of the Product other than for its intended purpose
- Damage caused by improper or unauthorized repair or maintenance
- Warranty is void if repairing without our consent or warranty seal is broken
- Product that has been modified or altered
- Software issues (afile corruption, internet setup etc.)
- Accidental damage like breaking the screen or spilling liquid on it. You would need independent insurance to cover this.
- Used batteries, although we do guarantee that it will hold at least one hour's charge. We will replace batteries which do not meet these criteria if reported within one week of receipt and the battery supplied is returned. Batteries are considered as consumable items - as they are expected to degrade over time. Some may require replacement.
If a product is returned under warranty and has been damaged, there is a software problem or there is no hardware fault at all, we reserve the right to charge for our labour and carriage costs.
Any device returned under warranty is factory reset as part of the repair process. MicroDream is not responsible for the damage to or loss of any programs, data, or removable storage media during the repair process.
Warranty returns will take approximately 7-14 working days to process once the goods have arrived (on rare occasions may take a bit longer due to work load).
Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA)
You must return the product within 14 days from the date we issue the Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA). If you fail to return it within this period, the RMA becomes invalid. Customers will then need to restart the Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) process from the beginning, providing all necessary documentation and photographic evidence of the product if necessary.
It’s important to understand that if the 14-day return period overlaps with the end of the product’s warranty, the warranty coverage will cease if the item isn’t returned within the specified timeframe from the date of authorisation. Any RMA claims made after this point will not be accepted.
Therefore, customers are required to ensure the faulty product is returned within the designated 14-day window following the issuance of authorisation. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in the loss of warranty coverage and the need to initiate a new RMA claim process.
