Return Policy

1. Background

Furnishd.(ACN 627 330 214) (Furnishd. or we) supplies various goods, including appliances, decorations, furniture and lighting and we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

Furnishd will coordinate the distribution and delivery with the supplier of each of your selected items within the delivery time frame specified by your personal shopper at time of purchase.

We recommend you read our returns policy prior to making a purchase from Furnishd., so you are familiar with:

(a) our policy on refunds, returns and repairs; and

(b) your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

2. Change of mind

Please choose carefully when you buy. We strongly recommend that you check the product’s details online or in person at our supplier’s showrooms, whichever is applicable to you, before purchasing the products. This is to ensure client and designer expectations are met, if you require a swatch/sample, please contact us. Any expectation discrepancies in colour, material or structure therefore become the responsibility of the purchaser, and in buying through us you agree to have checked the product or agree to these terms? At our discretion we may begin a customer concern application on your behalf, in this instance we will arrange the best outcome as our ability allows.

You do not automatically get an exchange or refund for simply changing your mind or making an incorrect purchase. We may, as per each supplier’s policy, decide to agree to this on a case-by-case basis. We will, to the best of our ability, suggest alternate options to address any concerns, however any associated costs remain the responsibility of the purchaser.

Return of any goods that are not damaged or faulty, including associated return shipping costs, remain the responsibility of the purchaser.

3. Delay in delivery of your products

We will not be liable for any delay in performing any of its obligations including where any delay is caused by suppliers beyond our reasonable control.

We will use reasonable endeavours to co-ordinate with our suppliers to meet the estimated delivery date.

4. Consumer Guarantees

Where the ACL applies, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL, which cannot be excluded, including guarantees that the products will be of acceptable quality (Consumer Guarantees).

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure (the product is unsafe) and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Consumer Guarantees have no set time limit but generally last for an amount of time that is reasonable to expect given factors including the cost and quality of the product or any representations made.

5. Remedies available

All products sold by Furnishd. come with warranties provided by the manufacturers. We will arrange for the repair or replacement (at our discretion) of any defective parts of goods or defective goods directly purchased from us.

Many manufacturers have dedicated support centres designed specifically to deal with issues in relation to their products and may even provide in home support and advanced troubleshooting. You may therefore prefer to contact the manufacturer direct rather than Furnishd., although you are not obliged to do this.

If we elect to replace the defective goods, we will replace the goods with the same type of goods or a comparable or close equivalent, taking into account features, quality, specifications and availability of the goods.

If Furnishd. is unable to repair or replace the defective goods, we will provide you with credit for the value of the price paid for the goods, unless we are required to provide a refund under the ACL.

6. Conditions for claiming a refund

To claim a refund or a credit, the following additional conditions must be met:

(a) you must have installed the goods properly;

(b) you must have used, handled, installed, maintained and operated the goods in accordance with our instructions and, if applicable, the manufacturer’s instructions, in normal environmental conditions;

(d) you must be the original purchaser of the goods from us;

(e) you must provide proof of purchase of the goods (eg order number, receipt or invoice); (f) you must follow the claim procedure outlined in section 6 below; and

(c) provide complete details about the issues you are experiencing with the goods.

Furnishd. needs to be satisfied that the product is faulty, the cause of the fault and that the problem with the goods was not your fault.

Furnishd. reserves the right to have returned goods assessed within a reasonable timeframe by the manufacturer to determine this, including whether the goods are defective or simply require some form of basic troubleshooting. Where a product is damaged through misuse, accident or abnormal use, the ACL or any manufacturer’s warranty may not apply, and Furnishd. may choose not to provide a refund, exchange or repair (if applicable)
