FAULTY ITEMS | Major failure 

We have a strict quality control procedure, but if for some reason you think you have received a major faulty item or items are missing from your order, please contact us by email within 7 business days of receiving your order. Faulty items do not include change of mind. By consumer law if your item has a major fault we offer a full refund within 7 business days and are happy to do so. Please submit clear photos detailing the faulty items and send to us via email. Once we have received your email we will send you the address so that you can return the faulty items.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major fault and 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.

A major fault means the product:

• is unsafe
• is very different from the description or sample
• has either one serious problem or several smaller problems that would stop someone buying the product if they knew about them beforehand
• can’t be used for its normal purpose, or another purpose the consumer told the seller about before they bought it, and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time.

Please take care reading our product descriptions and note that our photos show clearly the items that you are purchasing. We clearly point out any defect in a product. If in doubt please call us or email with your concerns and we are happy to help you. When you look at our products and scroll through you can clearly see "Further Information | Contact" whereby we have added our phone number and email. Purchasing online can be difficult, so please contact us if you have any doubts or questions before placing an order. We are here to help!

A minor fault:

• According to consumer law - The business does not have to offer a replacement or refund for a minor problem, although it can choose to do this.

Please contact us by email and show clear photos of the minor fault and we can offer  a partial refund into your account or a credit note. This would be negotiated so that we both come to a fair agreement.

Extract From Consumer Affairs

• Consumers’ responsibilities – goods The law aims to give consumers and sellers a fair go. It is not designed to protect consumers if they are careless or make unreasonable demands. There are several circumstances when consumers are not entitled to a remedy from the seller. Sellers do not have to give refunds, credit or exchanges if consumers: • change their minds, decide they do not like the goods or have no use for them (except in cases where other legislation provides for a ‘cooling off’ period – for example, door-to-door sales) • discover they can buy the goods cheaper elsewhere (except where the seller provides a guarantee that the goods cannot be purchased cheaper elsewhere) • examine the goods before buying and ought to have seen any obvious fault • had the defect drawn to their attention before buying (for instance, when goods were labelled as seconds, or faults were clearly marked) • damage the goods by using them in a way they were not meant to be used.
