Our money back guarantee policy lasts 30 days, which really is our "Risk Free - Money Back Guarantee." If you receive your item and you change your mind within those 30 days, then you are entitled to a refund.
If it’s been over 30 days and you request a refund due to a broken product, please be prepared to show us how the product arrived broken and an honest explanation as to why it took over 30 days to inform us of the faulty product. We may require that you provide us with either an image or video showing that the product was damaged and not working.
Note, based on Australian Consumer Law, there is no time limit on refunds if the item has arrived broken. But we encourage you to be honest and inform us at the earliest inconvenience.

For refunds, we can often grant them without the need for a return, meaning we issue a refund and let you keep the product. But we still ask that the product remain in good physical condition, if we decide to return it.
