5. SERVICE & REPAIRS
5.1 No work will be undertaken before the item has been examined, the repair price verified and the customer has agreed to proceed with the repair. An approximate turnaround time will be provided. Occasionally, either due to high volumes of work or because the repair requires parts that need to be sourced, the repair time may be extended. In such circumstances the customer will be notified as soon as possible.
5.2 Although we carefully examine all repairs and give very accurate estimates to the best of our ability, we reserve the right to charge for any unforeseen work, extra work or parts which may be required to complete a repair, further to the initial estimate provided. The customer will be informed as soon as possible should this situation arise. Babla's reserves the right to charge accordingly for work already carried out when the customer requests a watch to be returned un-done for any reason.
5.3 Babla's provides price guides for repairs and servicing and gives free online estimates for repairs via E-mail. The accuracy of the online estimates relies on the accuracy and quality of information given to us by the customer. All estimates are provided on visual assessment of the watch. Should further work be required once the watch has been dis-assembled, we reserve the right to re-estimate for the work.
5.4 Babla's offers free hands on estimates but reserves the right to charge for return postage and packing should the customer not wish to proceed with any work. In the case of watch repairs within the UK, this is usually £5.95.

5.8 We recommend that repairs are sent to us by the most appropriate method available. It is the customer's responsibility to choose suitable methods of postage that will ensure safe delivery and adequate compensation in the event of loss or damage. Babla's is not responsible for any goods lost or damaged in transit to us. All repairs are returned by the most appropriate method available. In the event of loss or damage in transit, only the retail value when new can be compensated and not any sentimental value there may be.
