Faulty/Damaged Products

Please ensure that you read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before using a product as improper use can sometimes result in the product becoming unfit for purpose and may result in a return not being accepted by us.

Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law and you are entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures. If a failure of an item does not amount to a major failure, we may choose to give you a free repair or replacement instead of a refund if this is possible. Further information is available on the ACCC website.

Subject to the rest of the policy and Australian Consumer Law, we accept the returns for faulty/damaged items provided that:

You notify us in writing within a reasonable timeframe subject to proof of purchase; the item is returned to us with accompanying proof of purchase and at your cost within a reasonable time of us providing you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number

We may have the faulty product returned to us assessed by a third-party or the brand or manufacturer to determine the nature and cause of the fault. Many manufacturers have dedicated support centres designed specifically to deal with issues in relation to their products and may be able to provide a quicker assessment of, and remedy for, any issue with your purchased product. You may, therefore, prefer to contact the manufacturer directly although you are not obliged to do this. We may also return the item to the manufacturer to determine the nature of the problem.

We reserve the right to decline an exchange, refund or repair where any product fault is caused by improper use, general wear and tear, or neglect.

• Description of item to be returned

• Reason for return

• Satisfactory Proof of Purchase (being your online proof of purchase, such as a tax invoice)

• Photos and/or videos of any faults or issues

The product remains your responsibility until it has been received at the address supplied by us and we do not accept any liability for any loss or damage which may occur during transit.

As a dedicated online retailer, we do not have physical retail stores where you can return your products. As such, it is important that you provide our team with as much information as possible as described above and follow the returns process exactly to ensure your product issue can be determined promptly, and so that we can resolve your issue in a timely manner.
