Store Credit Validity: Store credit vouchers are valid for one year from the date of issue.
No In-Person Returns: We do not accept returns delivered in person to our depots, offices, or warehouse facilities.
3. Your Rights Under the Australian Consumer Law
Consumer Guarantees: The ACL provides consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Acceptable Quality: Goods are of acceptable quality if they are fit for purpose, acceptable in appearance and finish, free from defects, safe, and durable.
Major Failure: A major failure occurs when the goods are significantly different from their description, unfit for their intended purpose, unsafe, or have a problem that cannot be easily fixed within a reasonable time.
4. Faulty or Damaged Goods
Damaged in Transit: If a product arrives with significant damage to the packaging or the product itself, please:
Take photos or videos of the damage.
Refuse the delivery.
Contact us immediately.

Take photos or videos clearly showing the problem.
Contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 3 days of receiving the delivery.

If we accidentally ship you the wrong product, please let us know within 3 days of receiving your delivery. We will send you the correct product and arrange for the incorrect product's pickup and return at no cost to you.
