Refund policy

Please check your order when you receive it! Returns are easy if we know about them straight away but can be a bit tricky if we don’t hear back from you for a while. 

Items MUST be checked within 24 hours of the receipt of goods. We understand that this might be difficult if your job is delayed and you don't require the items straight away or if you are busy and you simply store it in your shed until you need it. We hope that you, too, understand that we have people contact us to get a refund on damaged items that have clearly been damaged on site (tools being dropped on them, products are dragged across construction sites, products are dropped, inexperienced tradespeople sometimes cut items in the wrong area or scratch the tap finishes and the list goes on!) so in order to be 100% sure that the damage is our responsibility we need to be advised straight away. If you choose to store your products without checking them please understand that we will see this as acceptance that the goods have arrived in perfect condition.

If you change your mind after receiving a new bathroom product, contact us at info@bathwaredirect.com.au within 14 days of delivery to exchange it for a similar product or return it for credit toward your next purchase.

Credits and exchanges are for the full value of the returned goods only and do not include the cost of postage/freight unless an item is faulty/defective in which case we will pay for postage/freight. You can only exchange for change of mind once for any given order (i.e. you can't decide to change your mind on the replacement product and get another replacement or return for credit). We comply with every aspect of Australian Consumer Law, of course, so if an item is faulty we will always rectify this for you. Change of mind does not apply to goods that have been installed or used. Items must be in perfect condition to be eligible for a change of mind credit. 

How do I return an item?

1. Fill out the Returns Form and mark the items that you are returning on your customer invoice (both forms will be enclosed in your order).

2. Pack your item/s for return. Label the products using the return shipping label supplied with your order and ensure they are packed carefully to avoid damage (items that are damaged in transit due to inadequate packaging will unfortunately be unable to be refunded).

3. Once we receive your return we will inspect the item/s to see if our returns policy has been met. We will let you know if the return has been approved and process the refund/credit/exchange. This will be done within 2 days of receiving the item. *If the returned item does not meet our returns policy we will call you to discuss options.  

OR

Simply bring it into our showroom at 8-10 Vesper Dr, Narre Warren and we can inspect and process the return on the spot.

Returns Policy

There are three options for a return:

  • you can opt for a 110% credit to your account to spend within 6 months,

All our items are checked for damage and missing parts prior to delivery. They are sent out in good and brand new condition. It is important to thoroughly check your goods upon delivery and to notify Bathwaredirect.com.au within 24 hours of receiving the order. Evidence of damage will be required i.e. photographs.

If goods remain boxed and in perfect condition you may return them within 14 days for a full refund. The cost of return delivery will be incurred by the customer.

All boxed items will incur a 15% restocking charge if returned after 14 days and the cost of return delivery will be incurred by the customer.

All refunds will be issued when goods have arrived back to the Bathwaredirect.com.au warehouse and have been inspected by a member of our team. Refunds will be made by the same method used for the purchase.

If an item has been installed or used and you would like a refund please contact us before removing the item as it should be inspected in the installed state to ascertain whether the warranty is to be actioned.

If an item is installed when it is faulty the original warranty applies (i.e. if the warranty is replacement only Bathware Direct will provide a replacement product but will not pay for associated labour costs).
