Diagnosis and Repair Service for VSB/VSD units
Diagnosis & Repair Service for VSB or VSD Auto Chicken Coop Door Opener Units.
Purchase this service by clicking 'add to basket' above and going through the checkout in the normal way, then return your unit to us by tracked mail or chosen service. If the unit is not repairable, we will call to discuss and look at options.
We offer a VSB or VSD Door Opener Diagnosis-and-Repair Service at Flyte so Fancy, which is especially useful for out-of-warranty units, or if you have bought the unit elsewhere and cannot get that company to offer any backup to the warranty.
If we are unable to repair the unit to make it functional again, then we do offer, under this service, to deduct £20 from the purchase of a new unit.
PLEASE - PLEASE CLEAN YOUR VSB/VSD BEFORE RETURNING IT TO US. WE POLITELY ASK THAT YOU DO NOT SEND VSB/VSD UNITS BACK TO US INFESTED WITH RED MITES.

Checklist for returning units:
1. Send all items in your set up back to us i.e. VSB/VSD unit, light sensor if used, timer if used, NOT the door or the batteries, just the battery holder - suggest by tracked mail - to Flyte So Fancy (VSB/VSD Repair), The Cottage, Pulham, Dorchester DT2 7DX
2. Please, please clean the outside casing of any returned units as we cannot work on units that could potentially carry contamination (bird flu regulations) or red mite infestation. Clean only the outside casing, do not get cleaner or water inside. BUT - please, please, do not send us VSBs/VSDs crawling or contaminated with red mite!
3. A covering letter (or copy of your Diagnosis & Repair order) with your name, address and phone number, date of purchase if known or approximate age of unit, and a brief description of the problem. Also include the Order Number for this service item from your confirmation email.
NOTE: It should be noted that any warranty is a manufacturer's warranty so, if you haven't bought from FSF but it still carries a warranty, then you can send it back to Germany for repair-under-warranty (with proof of purchase). The warranty for units bought after Jan 2014 is 3 years. The warranty does not cover water ingress, battery leakage or circuit board contamination by oils, excessive dirt or red mite infestation. The drawstring cord and battery holder are also not covered by warranty.
The manufacturers ceased production of VSB Door Openers in May 2019. They were covered by a 3-year manufacturer's Warranty (AXT Electronic in Germany are the guarantors, not Flyte so Fancy). We had stopped selling VSB units mid-May 2019 so the warranty on these ran out mid-May 2022.
Purchase this service by clicking 'add to basket' above and go through the checkout in the normal way, then return your unit to us by tracked mail or chosen service. We will return the repaired unit to you by DPD.
