If you buy an Ace & Taylor tool from a reseller, check whether it's an officially recognized sales partner. Only then can you be sure you're getting an authentic product with full warranty coverage. Order directly through aceandtaylor.com and you know without a doubt that you get the full warranty and the 30-day money-back guarantee, handled directly by Ace & Taylor itself.
Quick summary
- Not every seller offering Ace & Taylor is automatically an officially recognized partner.
- Buying directly from Ace & Taylor gives you certainty about warranty, return policy, and an authentic product.
- With a recognized reseller, the same product warranties apply, but the return process may run through that store itself.
- With an unrecognized or unclear seller, it's harder to claim warranty if something goes wrong.
- Not sure about a seller? Check whether they're a recognized official partner before you order.
Below is exactly what to look out for before ordering from a reseller.
What's the difference between a recognized reseller and buying directly?
Buying directly means your order, payment, shipping, and any warranty or return request all run entirely through Ace & Taylor itself. You have one point of contact for everything, from ordering to any potential complaint.
A recognized reseller is a store or platform with which Ace & Taylor has an official partnership. The product itself is identical to what you'd get buying directly, but the ordering and return process runs through that store, with their own terms for delivery and customer service.
Why is it important to check whether a seller is recognized?
With an unrecognized seller, for example an unknown account on a marketplace, you don't always know for sure whether the product is new, unused, and authentic. It's also unclear whether such a seller can or will actually handle warranty claims on behalf of the brand.
With a recognized partner, such as the exclusive partnership Ace & Taylor has with beauty webshop John Beerens in the Benelux, you know it's official stock with the same warranty as a direct purchase.
Does the return policy differ between a reseller and buying directly?
Order directly from Ace & Taylor and the 30-day money-back guarantee applies exactly as described on aceandtaylor.com, and you handle this directly with Ace & Taylor.
With a recognized reseller, a return often runs through that store itself, with their own return process and timelines. So it's smart to check with a reseller before buying how they handle returns and warranty, rather than assuming it works the same way.
| Aspect | Direct | Recognized reseller |
|---|---|---|
| Product warranty | 2 years, directly through Ace & Taylor | 2 years, product is identical |
| 30-day money-back guarantee | Directly through Ace & Taylor | Depends on that store's policy |
| Customer service | One point of contact: Ace & Taylor | Through the reseller, possibly with its own wait times |
| Certainty of product authenticity | Always guaranteed | Guaranteed with officially recognized partners |
How do you tell if a seller is officially recognized?
Check whether the store or platform explicitly states that it's an official Ace & Taylor partner, or check directly with Ace & Taylor's customer service if you're not sure. A price that's noticeably lower than the price on aceandtaylor.com is a signal to be extra careful.
If in doubt, ordering directly through aceandtaylor.com is the simplest way to be sure you're getting an authentic product with full warranty and a clear return process.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get less warranty if I buy from a recognized reseller?
No, the product itself and the manufacturer's warranty are the same. The return and customer service process may run through that reseller instead of directly through Ace & Taylor.
Why shouldn't I just buy from the cheapest seller?
A strikingly low price from an unknown or unrecognized seller can indicate a used, damaged, or non-authentic product, with all the warranty uncertainty that comes with it. Always compare the price to the one on aceandtaylor.com.
Is Ace & Taylor also available through physical stores?
Ace & Taylor works with recognized sales partners, including an exclusive partnership with beauty webshop John Beerens in the Benelux. For the most current availability, it's best to check directly with Ace & Taylor or the partner itself.
What do I do if I'm not sure whether my tool is authentic?
Contact Ace & Taylor's customer service with your purchase details. They can help you assess whether your product was bought through a recognized seller.
