If you are concerned about your entitlement to a refund or exchange, we recommend that you read on to learn about your rights and our obligations to you.
30-Day Guarantee
We want you to love your purchase with us. However, if you are in some way disappointed with your purchase then we would want to know about it. So, with respect to any Item that you purchase from us, if you are not satisfied with the quality of the product then please let us know you and we will happily provide you with a refund or exchange.
Our money-back guarantee is available for up to 30 days from the purchase date (the Guarantee Period) and does not apply to sale items, custom jewellery, rough opal or rubbed opal that has been worked in any way.
Any refund requests outside of our Guarantee Period must be made in accordance with the below section titled ‘Your entitlement to a refund or exchange’
Your Entitlement to a Refund or Exchange
You will be entitled to a refund or exchange where we are required to do so under any relevant laws, including the Australian Consumer Law. You may ask for a refund or exchange, if an item has a major problem, or is significantly different to what you asked for.
In the event that you believe that you are entitled to a refund or exchange, you must provide us with:
Your full name and address;
The original order number; and
The reason for claiming the refund or exchange.
Returning Items to Us
If you wish to return an item to us, we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible after becoming aware of the issue prompting your request for a refund or exchange. Delayed claims for refunds or exchanges may lead to your request for an exchange or refunds being rejected.
We reserve the right to assess the condition of a returned item prior to offering a refund or exchange. This may result in a refund or exchange being refused by us. You may be entitled to a refund equal to the cost of the item only. You may be entitled to an exchange for an identical item, or one of a similar value.
How to Return Items:
IMPORTANT: Please contact us prior to shipping as valuable items such as opal, if not disclosed correctly, may be liable for customs duties and taxes including an unrefundable 10% GST component.
Package the item/s in a shipping bag or box that will prevent damage in transit. We recommend similar packaging to what you originally received the item/s in. If possible, include the original packaging for the returned item.
