Returns & Warranty Policy

Last Updated: 01/07/2025

RETURNS AND WARRANTIES POLICY

This policy applies to all products purchased online via our website/s (“Products”) and forms part of the Terms and Conditions which apply to your purchase of Products.

1. CHANGE OF MIND

You can benefit from this Change of Mind Policy which is offered for most of our products in addition to your statutory rights or any additional supplier or manufacturer warranties. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your purchase, we will happily provide you with a refund for an online purchase subject to all of the following conditions being satisfied:

You must present the product to us within 30 days from the date of delivery; and
You must provide us with a satisfactory proof of purchase (such as the invoice).
You must return the product unused, in the original packaging with all tags and stickers still attached, in the merchandisable condition you purchased it in and including any accessories, manuals and documentation.
The product is not an ‘Excluded Product’ (as described below).

Excluded Products

This Change of Mind Policy does NOT apply to:

Gift cards or vouchers;
Clearance items;
Made-to-order, custom made personalised or monogrammed items (including The Custom Chef Personalisioned Products), Made-to-order or Custom Made Rugs;
AFL Premiership Collection;
Items that have an accompanying tag that states ‘no change of mind’;
Repaired or replacement products provided under this policy; and
Mattresses, bath mats, quilts, underblankets, pillows and toppers (for health and hygiene reasons); and
Repaired or replacement items provided under our policy.

We reserve the right to reject any returns that do not meet the above requirements.

Our decision to provide an exchange or credit in accordance with the conditions set out above will be determined in our absolute discretion.

Your entitlements to a refund, exchange, repair or credit are governed by the Australian Consumer Law and this change of mind policy is in addition to those rights.

Please note:

We will refund you the amount you paid, excluding the original delivery charges. Refunds will be processed the way you made your original purchase. The refund guarantee does not include the costs of return postage if you return via post. You are responsible for the cost and the risk of returning the goods to us. We recommend that items are returned to us via courier or registered post to ensure that they are protected and insured during transit. If the returned Product does not meet the requirements of this policy, you will be responsible for the cost of the return of your goods to the postal address that you nominate.
Floor rugs that are not made-to-order or custom-made are eligible for a Change of Mind Return. However, a restocking fee of 20% of the cost of the rug and the cost to collect the freight will be charged if rugs are sent to a PO Box or if rugs are returned for change of mind.
Furniture (including but not limited to bed frames and headboards) purchased online is eligible for a Change of Mind Return. However, these items will be subject to a return fee equivalent to 15% of the price paid.
Below are specific guidelines for returning Products purchased due to a change of mind during certain special promotions. Unless otherwise stated in the promotional terms, the following applies:
Buy One, Get One – Both Products must be returned together for a full refund. If only one Product is returned, the refund will be adjusted to reflect the full price.
Gift with Purchase – The free gift is not exchangeable and redeemable for cash. It must be returned with the purchased Product for a full refund. If not returned, the gift’s regular price will be deducted from the refund.
Percentage Discounts (e.g. “Save 20% off orders over $100”) or Fixed Discounts (e.g. “Save $20 on orders over $100”) –If a return causes the total to fall below a promotion’s threshold, the discount from the transaction will be voided, and the refund adjusted.
Multi-buy Discounts (e.g. “Buy 3 for $50”) – If only some Products from the multi-buy promotion are returned, the refund will reflect the full prices of the Products retained and the discount from the transaction voided.

To return an item due to a Change of Mind, you must follow our returns process. Please refer to ‘Requirement to Return Product’ section below for more information.

2. CONSUMER GUARANTEES

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 failure 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 and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

If you believe a Product purchased from us is damaged, faulty or unsafe or is not of acceptable quality, fit for the specified purpose or does not match the description given to the product, you may return it to us within a reasonable period after purchase. In the unlikely event that your item arrives damaged or faulty, you must also notify us as soon as possible.

If a Product has a minor failure, we may provide a repair within a reasonable time. If we cannot repair the product within a reasonable time, then we may offer you a replacement (if available), refund or credit. If the Product is assessed as having a major failure you may choose to return the Product and receive a refund or an credit or receive an identical replacement (or one of similar value if reasonably available to us). Otherwise, you may keep the Product and request compensation equal to the drop in the value of the Product owing to the problem.

For more information about your rights as a consumer, see the Australian Consumer Law website at consumerlaw.gov.au.

Please note:

Products that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, failure to take reasonable care or failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions are not considered to be faulty.
If a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned Product becomes our property. When a refund is given, the returned Product becomes our property.
If you are returning a faulty Product, please contact our Customer Service Team and provide your order number and a full detailed description of the problem. You may be required to provide supporting photographic evidence. Depending on the problem our Customer Service team will determine how best to resolve it with minimum inconvenience to you. Where during the preliminary assessment, we agree that a Product is defective and needs to be replaced or repaired, return shipping will be arranged at our expense. You are nevertheless entitled to recover reasonable postage costs if the product is confirmed to have a defect later. We recommend that items are returned to us via courier or registered post to ensure that they are protected and insured during transit. Please keep the receipts of any shipping costs you incur.

To return a faulty item, you must follow our returns process. Please refer to ‘Requirement to Return Product’ below for more information.

3. MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

Many of our Products come with a guarantee or warranty from the manufacturer. Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions on or in the packaging, however nothing in those warranty terms and conditions excludes the application of the Consumer Guarantees that apply under the Australian Consumer Law and our change of mind policy.

Please note:

You may also be required to send us images of the damage to help us with our assessment. If your claim relates to a warranty from the manufacturer, once we have received your returned Product, wee will then contact the manufacturer to finalise your warranty claim. Please do not attempt to return an item before speaking to one of our specialists (as you may be responsible for associated expenses where your product is found not to be in breach of warranty).
Products that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse, failure to take reasonable care or failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions are not considered to be faulty.

4. REQUIREMENT TO RETURN PRODUCT

Products must be returned whenever we agree to provide you with a refund or replacement or ask you to return the Product to us for inspection.

To return an item you purchased from us, for any reason, you must arrange the return by return postage through Australia Post.

Where during the preliminary assessment, we agree that a Product is defective and needs to be replaced or repaired, return shipping will be arranged at our expense. You are nevertheless entitled to recover reasonable postage costs if the Product is confirmed to have a defect later. We recommend that items are returned to us via courier or registered post to ensure that they are protected and insured during transit. Please keep the receipts of any shipping costs you incur.
When products with a major fault are too large, too heavy or too difficult to remove, because of the very nature of the fault, we will be responsible for the cost of returning the products.

Responsibility for returned Products

It is your responsibility to ensure that the Products are protected from damage or loss in transit. Returned Products that are damaged or soiled in transit may not be accepted and may be sent back to you and/or a refund refused. We recommend paying for tracking or product insurance.

5. CUSTOM CHEF PRODUCTS (CUSTOMISATION SERVICE)

Our Custom Chef Service allows you to have pre-selected knife products laser-marked with (depending on the design), a monogram of up to 3 characters, word of up to 30 characters or a design from a limited selection \s (“Custom Chef Products”).

Whichever option you select, it is your responsibility to ensure that you check the characters or design you choose prior to submitting your Order. You are also responsible for ensuring that your selection is not unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harmful, fraudulent or infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.

We reserve our rights to refuse or cancel your Order at our sole discretion. We will not be held responsible if you provide incorrect or unclear information in your Order. While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the appearance of the laser design, there may be slight variations on the Custom Chef Products themselves.

We may cease to offer The Custom Chef Service at any time at our sole discretion, although we will fulfil any prior Orders that have been received prior to such cessation.

The Custom Chef Service is provided ‘as is, where is’ and without any manufacturer’s or express warranty. However, consumer guarantees apply to the Custom Chef Service and the Custom Chef Products under the Australian Consumer Law, and nothing in these terms and conditions excludes the application of those guarantees.

If your Custom Chef Product has a minor failure, we may provide a repair within a reasonable time. If we cannot repair the Product within a reasonable time, then we may offer you a replacement (if available), refund or credit. If your Custom Chef Product is assessed as having a major failure, you are entitled, within a reasonable time, to reject the Custom Chef Product and receive:

a refund for the purchase price of the Custom Chef Product and the Custom Chef Service; or
an identical replacement, or one of similar value, if reasonably available to us.

Otherwise you may keep the Product and request compensation equal to the drop in the value of the Product owing to the problem.

6. AGREEMENT TO REFUND

Where we agree to refund you for a Product, the refund will be credited to your original method of payment.

7. AGREEMENT TO REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS

Where we agree to replace a Product:

A replacement for the Product that you ordered will be shipped to you at our expense after we have received your returned Product (Note: This does not apply to change of mind returns).
The delivery time for the replacement Product will be the same as stated for the original Product.
Replacement products are subject to the same warranties and consumer guarantees as the original product, other than our change of mind policy which will no longer apply to the replacement Product.
