Returns & Warranties

LAST UPDATED: 30/01/2025

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

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 and an exchange or store credit for an in-store purchase subject to all of the following conditions being satisfied:

1. You must return the Product to us within the following timeframes:

2. You must provide us with a satisfactory proof of purchase (such as the invoice or register receipt).

3. 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.

4. The product is not an ‘Excluded Product’ (as described below).

EXCLUDED PRODUCTS

This Change of Mind Policy does NOT apply to:

1. Gift cards or vouchers;

2. Sale items purchased in-store;

3. Clearance items and Products sold as ‘seconds’;

4. Made-to-order, personalised or monogrammed items (including The Custom Chef Personalised Products);

5. Items that have an accompanying tag that states ‘no change of mind’;

6. Repaired or replacement products provided under this policy; and

7. Mattresses, bath mats, quilts, underblankets, pillows and toppers (for health and hygiene reasons).

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

Our decision to provide an exchange or in-store 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:

To return an item due to a change of mind, you must follow our returns process. Please refer to ‘Organising the Return of Products’ below for more information.

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 in-store credit. If the Product is assessed as having a major failure you may choose to return the Product and receive a refund or an in-store 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:

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

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.
