We accept change-of-mind returns and process returns required under the Australian Consumer Law. Review the conditions below before starting a return.

  • Items that do not match the description on our website at time of purchase
Non-Returnable Items
Not Eligible for Return

The following are not eligible for a change-of-mind return. These exclusions do not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Return freight and restocking fee: for change-of-mind returns, the customer is responsible for return freight and a 15% restocking fee applies, deducted from the refund. We recommend a tracked, insured freight service, as we can't accept responsibility for items lost or damaged in return transit. If the return is due to our error or a product fault, we arrange and cover the cost of return freight, and no restocking fee applies.

Resolutions

How We Resolve Returns

The resolution offered depends on the nature of the return. Faulty product claims are handled in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

Change of Mind
Refund, Less Restocking Fee

Approved change-of-mind returns are refunded to your original payment method, less the 15% restocking fee and return freight. Refunds are issued once the item has been received and inspected and meets the eligibility conditions above.

ACL — Minor Fault
Repair or Replacement

Where an item has a minor fault, we're entitled under the ACL to repair it or provide a replacement within a reasonable timeframe. We assess minor fault claims and advise on the resolution within 5 business days of receiving the returned item.

ACL — Major Fault
Refund, Replacement, or Compensation

If an item has a major fault as defined under the Australian Consumer Law, you're entitled to choose a full refund, a replacement, or compensation for the drop in value. A major fault includes an item that's unsafe, significantly different from its description, or doesn't perform its intended function.

Return Process

How to Return an Item

Contact our team before sending anything back. We'll assess your return request and issue a Return Authorisation (RA) number. Returns received without a prior RA number may be refused and sent back to you.

1

Contact us before returning

Email info@bodycoatfarmequipment.com.au with your order number, reason for return, and photos. Don't ship the item before receiving authorisation.

2

Receive your RA number

We assess your request and issue a Return Authorisation number within 2 business days if approved, along with packing and freight instructions.

3

Pack and ship the item

Securely repack the item in its original packaging. Mark your RA number clearly on the outside and use a tracked freight service.

4

We inspect on arrival

Once your return arrives, our team inspects it against the original return request, typically completed within 2 business days of receipt.

5

Refund issued

Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days of inspection, back to your original payment method, with email confirmation once complete.

Australian Consumer Law

Your Rights Under the Australian Consumer Law

Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You're entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You're also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure doesn't amount to a major failure.

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any consumer guarantees, rights, or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation. If you believe your rights under the Australian Consumer Law haven't been met, you can contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or your state consumer protection agency for guidance.

Common Questions

Returns & Refunds — Questions Answered

What is your return window?
We accept change-of-mind returns within 30 days of the delivery or collection date. The item must be unused, uninstalled, and in original packaging with all documentation included. Returns requested after 30 days aren't accepted for change-of-mind, but your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply regardless of timeframe for genuine product faults.
Do I get a full refund if I change my mind?
For change-of-mind returns that meet our eligibility conditions, we issue a refund to your original payment method less a 15% restocking fee, once the returned item has been received and inspected.
Who pays the return freight?
For change-of-mind returns, the customer is responsible for return freight. We recommend a tracked service, as we're not liable for items lost or damaged in return transit. If the return is due to our error, an incorrect item, or a verified fault, we arrange and cover return freight at no cost to you.
My item arrived with a fault. What do I do?
Contact us at info@bodycoatfarmequipment.com.au as soon as possible with your order number, a description of the fault, and photos or video showing the issue. Don't attempt to operate equipment if you suspect a fault. We assess the claim and advise on the resolution — repair, replacement, or refund — under the Australian Consumer Law.
Can I return an item I've already fitted or used?
No. Attachments or equipment that have been fitted, mounted, or used are not eligible for a change-of-mind return. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law — if a used item develops a genuine fault, you may still be entitled to a remedy. Contact us to discuss your situation.
How long does it take to receive my refund?
Once we receive and inspect your returned item, approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days. You'll receive email confirmation once your refund has been issued. Bank processing times may add a further 3–5 business days depending on your financial institution.
Do I need to contact you before sending a return?
Yes — you must contact us and receive a Return Authorisation (RA) number before sending anything back. Returns received without a prior RA number may be refused and returned to sender. Email info@bodycoatfarmequipment.com.au with your order number and reason for return to begin the process.
What are my rights under the Australian Consumer Law?
Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded. You're entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You're also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure isn't a major failure. Our change-of-mind policy operates separately from, and doesn't limit, your statutory rights.
