Return Policy
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.

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.

- If we do not receive your returned items therefore can not confirm the fault.
