Returns Policy
At Secrets of Australia® we are committed to providing our customers with the best products and Service.
Only products that are faulty or otherwise returnable under a statutory warranty or a manufacturer’s warranty will be accepted for return. Freight costs will be factored in or waived accordingly.
Within 7 Days of Purchase
1. Unopened Products
As part of this commitment, we go beyond our legal requirements by offering a 7 day return policy for products returned in their original, unopened and undamaged packaging except those products sold on a "no return" basis.
A credit will be issued for the original purchase price of the product, less any associated freight costs.
Where products are sold on a "no return" basis we will bring this to your attention. Examples of products sold on a "no return" basis include sale products. The "no return" basis means that, unless the product is dead on arrival, damaged in transit, incorrectly shipped or otherwise returnable under a manufacturer’s warranty or by law, the product will not be accepted for return.
2. Opened Products
We will not accept any opened product for return unless the product is returnable under our Returns Policy, a manufacturer’s warranty or other contract or by law.
3. Dead On Arrival, Damaged In Transit or Incorrectly Shipped
If your product is dead on arrival, damaged in transit or incorrectly shipped, contact our Customer Service staff immediately upon receipt of the product. They can arrange to collect the goods for return transit.
We will test all products returned as "Dead on Arrival" or "Damaged in Transit" within 7 working days of receipt into our warehouse. Some products may need to be returned to the manufacturer for testing. If the product is defective or was incorrectly shipped, we will issue a credit for the original purchase price of the product and associated freight costs.
If you return a product claiming it was dead on arrival, damaged in transit or incorrectly shipped but we find the product is in full working condition, any defects or damage were caused after you took receipt of the product or the product was shipped correctly, it will be returned to you.
You will be invoiced a processing fee and any freight costs associated with the return, payable within 30 days of receipt of invoice.
Outside 7 Days of Purchase
1. Return of Faulty Products
Products that do not match their Description or otherwise under Statutory Warranty . Upon receipt of a product claimed to be faulty, where the fault cannot be observed by our internal testing, we will forward the product to the manufacturer or its authorised service centre or agent for assessment.
If the fault could not have been detected at purchase, and is not due to wear and tear or misuse, we will offer you a repair, replacement or refund, as appropriate.
If the fault does not fit the above criteria and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty or extended warranty (where applicable), then we will provide you with a quote for the repair costs and ask you if you wish to proceed with the repair.
Returns Procedure
To return a product purchased at Secrets of Australia® you will need to request a Return Authorisation Number (RAN) by contacting our Customer Service Department . Secrets of Australia® will not accept goods for return which do not have a Return Authorisation Number issued in accordance with our Returns Policy.
Customer Service Department Returns and Manufacturers Returns
1. To request a Return through Secrets of Australia® Customer Service Department:
We will need the following information, before we can issue you with a Return Authorisation Number (RAN):
• Name and contact details (original purchaser)
• Invoice Number or Order Number
• Part Number of product to be returned
• Item Serial Number(s)
• The number of items being returned
• Date on packing slip or invoice
• Whether the product box has been opened
• Reason for return
Return Authorisation Numbers are only valid for 7 days, so we must receive the returned product into our warehouse within this period, or you will require a new Return Authorisation Number.
Please ensure that all products are suitably packaged in order to prevent damage during return shipping. We will not accept responsibility for goods, which are damaged whilst in transit back to us.
Please do not write on or attach labels to the product being returned; otherwise, the return may not be accepted, as it will be deemed damaged.
