Your satisfaction is our number one priority that is why returning a faulty or incorrectly supplied product will not come at an extra cost to our customers.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement (subject to stock availability) or refund for products that may have a major failure as well as compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Minor faults: Items that have minor faults, such that does not take away from the main purpose of the item may be returned to us for a free repair, replacement, refund or credit. We can choose to give you a free repair instead of a replacement or refund.
Major faults: Items that have major faults, such that does take away from the main purpose of the item, you may choose to return the items for a refund, or keep the product and ask for compensation for the drop in value caused by the problem (partial refund). As we do not hold surplus flash sale items in stock, we will be unable to arrange a replacement or exchange product in most instances.

Additional Information:
- As an online retailer we do not have physical retail stores where you can return your faulty products. As such, it is important that you provide our team with as much information as possible (including photos and/or videos) to ensure your product fault can be diagnosed promptly, and so that we can resolve your issue.
- Please note that where products are faulty or damaged upon delivery, incomplete, or you received a wrong item, please send us at least one clear image of your item and its damaged packaging (including the box) prior to fully opening it. Photographic evidence of the damage or fault must be submitted to us within 3 days of receipt of the product. Failure to do so may result in your claim being denied.
- Damage to the package itself during transit is not covered by our policy, conditions or warranties unless the damage affects the enclosed product.
- Item to be returned must include all original accessories, parts and manuals.
- Faulty items do not have to be returned in their original packaging, but must be packaged appropriately to avoid damage during the return shipping process.
- Please do not stick or write anything on the item itself or its packaging other than placing postage stickers on the outer postage packaging.
- Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. The repair of your goods may result in the loss of any user-generated data (if applicable). Please be aware that data (including, but not limited to, images, music and video) may be lost during the repair process of electrical and electronic products. Please ensure that you have made a copy of any data saved on your goods.
- Please note that we may issue a refund (once discussed with you and agreed) without requiring you to return the faulty product.

What Happens After I Return The Item:
- All goods will be inspected and processed within 1-3 working days from the date the faulty product is received prior to warranting a refund or credit.
- Once your returned item is received and inspected and your request is approved we will send you an email to notify you that we have processed your request for refund and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment. Depending on your bank, it can take up to 10 business days for the funds to appear in your account. If you had purchased the item or items with a Bargain Town Gift Card then the refund will be made to the same Gift Card and its balance will be updated.
- Returned products undergo a professional assessment. If the returned item is found not to have a problem or to have become damaged or faulty by you (consumer) or due to you misusing, tampering or using the product in an unreasonable or unintended manner a return shipping fee of $24 will be deducted from your refund amount (per returned pre-paid label). If the total value of the item(s) you have returned using a single pre-paid label is less than $24, there will be no refund for that return. You may also be required to cover all reasonable postage costs of returning the product or products back to you.
- For repairs (where applicable) we may elect to return the product to the manufacturer’s repair agent to determine the nature of the problem. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired.
In some instances, we may decide not to offer a remedy and may also require you to pay all reasonable postage costs to return the item back to you. This may include if:
- You simply change your mind after the purchase.
- The item has been destroyed, lost or disposed of by you.
- The item has been damaged after being delivered to you for reasons not related to its state or condition at the time of supply to you.
- The item has been incorporated in or attached to any property and can't be detached or isolated without damaging the item.
- The period of time since supply and circumstances are such that we are permitted by the Law to decline to provide a refund.
- We determine that the fault or damages are caused due to negligence, abuse or misuse on your behalf or if abnormal use by the you (consumer) causes a good to be damaged, and therefore less durable, then the good will not fail to be of acceptable quality if the reason for its failure is that abnormal use.
- If we do not receive your returned items therefore can not confirm the fault.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via our "Contact Us" page.
