Returns & refunds

 

1. 30-day returns
We offer 30-day returns from the date your order is delivered.

Please ensure:

  • The item must be returned within 30 days of delivery.
  • The product must be in original condition.
  • All accessories, manuals, and packaging must be included.

2. Hygiene Consideration
 

For hygiene reasons, change-of-mind returns can only be accepted where the item is unopened, unused, and still sealed in its undamaged product box, with the thin protective plastic film around the product box still intact.

 

Please note this refers to the sealed product box itself, not the outer postage box or shipping satchel.

 

3. Return Process
To initiate a return, contact us with your order number. We will provide return instructions.

 

4. Return Shipping Costs

  • For change-of-mind returns, the item must be unused, unopened, in its original packaging, and in resaleable condition. The customer will be responsible for return postage.

    Faulty, damaged, or incorrect items are handled in accordance with your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

5. Refunds
Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the returned item has been received and inspected. Please allow up to 5–10 business days for processing after approval.
