1. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
- Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. This policy is in addition to those rights.
- If a product has a major failure (for example, it is faulty, unsafe, significantly not as described, or unfit for its normal purpose), you are entitled to choose a refund or replacement, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
- If a product fails to be of acceptable quality but the failure is not a major failure, you are entitled to have it repaired or replaced.
- ACL rights are not limited by any time window or condition in this policy if the law gives you a remedy, you have it, even outside the periods below.
2. Change-of-mind returns (30 days)
- If you simply change your mind, we will accept a return within 30 days of delivery, provided the item is:
- unused and unopened,
- factory-sealed with all seals, wrapping and tamper-evident packaging intact, and
- in its original packaging with all contents.
- For health, hygiene and safety reasons we cannot accept change-of-mind returns of opened, unsealed or used vaping products. This restriction does not apply where you are returning a product under the ACL (section 1).
- Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at your cost, and we recommend using a trackable service. Risk remains with you until the item reaches us.
- If a change-of-mind return brings your order total below $500, the Free Delivery discount no longer applies and the standard delivery fee ($15.99) will be deducted from your refund.
3. Faulty, damaged, incorrect or dead-on-arrival items
- If your order arrives faulty, damaged, incorrect, incomplete, or a device does not work on first use (“dead on arrival”), contact us at info@vapewellaustralia.store as soon as practicable and within 30 days of delivery, with:
- your order number,
- photos or a short video showing the issue (for a dead-on-arrival device, showing it charged/connected as instructed), and
- the batch/serial details on the packaging where visible.
- We will respond within one business day. Where we accept the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect, we will arrange the remedy at our cost, including return postage where a return is needed (we will provide a prepaid label or refund your postage).
- Depending on the circumstances and your ACL rights, we will offer a replacement, store credit, or full refund a major failure is your choice of refund or replacement.
- Please do not dispose of a faulty item or its packaging until we have resolved your claim, as we may need it back for inspection.
4. Items we cannot accept
- Opened, unsealed or used vaping products (change of mind only see sections 1 and 3 for ACL and faulty-item rights).
- Items not in their original condition, damaged after delivery by misuse or accidental damage, or missing parts for reasons not due to us.
- Items returned more than 30 days after delivery for change-of-mind reasons.
- Products purchased from another retailer (contact that retailer or the manufacturer).
5. How refunds are processed
- Once your return arrives, we will inspect it and email you within 2 business days to confirm approval or rejection.
- Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5 business days of approval. Depending on your bank or card provider, it may take a further 3–10 business days for the funds to appear.
- If a refund is delayed beyond these timeframes, contact us and we will chase it with your payment provider.
6. Exchanges
We do not offer like-for-like “exchanges” as a separate process for change of mind: return the original item under section 2 and place a new order for the flavour or device you prefer. For faulty or incorrect items, we will ship the correct or replacement item as soon as your claim is approved — you do not need to wait for the return to arrive first where photos clearly show the issue.
7. Order cancellations
- You may cancel an order free of charge at any time before it is dispatched by emailing info@vapewellaustralia.store with your order number.
- Once an order has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled, but you may return it under this policy when it arrives.
- If we cancel an order (for example, a pricing error, stock issue, age-verification failure, or legal compliance reason), you will receive a full refund including any delivery fees paid.
8. Delivery problems
- Lost in transit: if tracking shows no movement for 10 business days (standard) or 5 business days (express), contact us. We will raise a carrier investigation and, at your choice, reship the order or refund it.
- Damaged in transit: report to us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the parcel and contents; we will replace or refund at our cost.
- Failed delivery due to an incorrect or incomplete address you provided, or an unclaimed parcel: we will contact you to arrange re-delivery at your cost, or refund the order less shipping if you prefer not to proceed.
