1. Bella Barista Back to Base Fully Transferable Warranty* (UK ONLY)
Many warranties are only supported by the retailer not the manufacturer, this is especially true of coffee machines. A warranty only becomes important when the unexpected happens. Then it's important you speak to someone who understands, is in the same country and is able to support you. We all to often hear from people who are unable to get support for their expensive coffee machine purchased on line from a box shifter or from another country.
Our Bella Barista Back to Base warranty means you're covered. If you sell the item and it's still in warranty, please contact us and we will provide a transfer warranty form and the new owner can enjoy the remainder of the warranty, please note the warranty is not transferable without this form. Many times we have heard of people upgrading their espresso machine after a year…it's much easier to sell when the new owner can buy with the confidence of knowing it has 1 year of Bella Barista UK Back to Base warranty remaining.
As standard...
Espresso machines - *Bella Barista 2 year Back to Base Warranty.Coffee Grinders - *Bella Barista 2 year Back to Base Warranty.
Other items - 1 year warranty.
Please Note: Not every item is covered by our own Bella Barista 2 Year Back to Base warranty. Please contact us to confirm that your coffee equipment is directly supported by this warranty prior to contacting us for service.
To receive warranty support on your equipment through Bella Barista, you must provide proof of purchase in the form of your original order number. For orders placed online or over the phone, or purchases in the Bella Barista showroom this information would have been emailed to you at order confirmation and also referenced on the packing slip. You may have received a Warranty card with expiry date and SN number of the product. This information is also on the original sales receipt that you received at purchase.

2. Trade (Commercial Warranty )
Where a product is advertised as TRADE or COMMERCIAL it is considered that the purchaser has a certain knowledge and engages in the trade appropriate to the use of the machine or equipment In this case the warranty is for 180 days (unless otherwise stipulated on individual products) and is a back to base parts only warranty.
What is a trade? For the purposes of clarification HMG describes as follows, a consumer is an individual who, in his dealings with a trader, is not acting for the purposes of a business. Where a consumer presents himself as a business (for example, by buying goods for personal use from a trade outlet on a trade account) the law does not consider him to be a consumer. Therefore if you are buying an item from us that is identified as a “Trade” product we do not consider that you are purchasing it as a consumer
3. International Warranty
Warranty for all goods shipped outside of UK mainland is a 12 months Parts ONLY warranty.
The customer is responsible for carriage both ways if product has to be returned to us. It is very important that you check the delivery before signing the delivery note. We take more care than most companies that ship coffee machines internationally we double pack even where a machine is in an “export” box and use extra shock resisting foam this is a considerable extra cost which we absorb. But damages can still happen and it is important that you are aware that you are responsible for the cost of return to us.

VAT - If the shipping destination selected is outside of the UK and EU member countries, the shopping basket will automatically deduct 20% off the price.
