General Returns Information
Returns Policy
There may be times when you need to return your in store or online purchase. Our Returns Policy is designed to assist you in returning your product. We would like to remind you that the benefits given by our Returns Policy are in addition to other rights & remedies you may have under Australian or New Zealand consumer law.
Product Assessment: We may need to conduct an assessment of your product to determine whether a repair, replacement or refund is appropriate. Certain technical products may need to be sent to the manufacturer or their repair agent for assessment, such as:
- Bicycles
- Sound, electrical and motor driven products
- Compressors
- Power tools; and
- Customer orders - non store stock items
For some product assessments you may have the option to liaise directly with the manufacturer, or their repair agent. Our store team members can provide you with the relevant manufacturer contact details. Products assessed as having a minor fault will be repaired by the manufacturer & returned to you within a reasonable time. We offer a refund or replacement if the product is assessed as having a major failure.
How long do you have to claim? Consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law & New Zealand Consumer Guarantee Act are not limited by a defined time period & can vary from product to produc depending on factors such as the nature of goods, price & statements made on packaging & product labels. Our Store Managers can assist you with further information about the warranty period for the product you return.
Expenses: Any expenses relating to the return of your product to store will normally have to be paid by you. For online store purchases, we will pay for return freight for any product assessed as having a major failure.
Exclusions: In some cases a refund, replacement or repair may not be offered if you:
- Substantially modify the product
- Misuse the product contrary to user instructions or packaging labels
- Simply change your mind
Certain products are excluded under our Returns Policy unless they are faulty, these include:
- Tailor made customer orders (seat covers, dash mats and floor mats)
- Storage discs (CD's and DVD's)
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law: 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 & for 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 & the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law: This Returns Policy is in addition to the conditions & guarantees which are mandatory as implied by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ).
