Returns & Exchanges Policy

Returns & Exchanges Policy

Our team are here to help, please treat them with respect. Aggressive or inappropriate behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated.

30-Day Change Of Mind Return Or Exchange Period

You can return or exchange a product that you have purchased in-store or online for any reason within 30 days. Products must be unworn, unwashed, unused, in original packaging with seals unbroken, and in original condition, with all packaging, tags or labels still attached.

This 30-day return period does not apply to tailor-made customer orders, modified products, products that have been misused contrary to their instructions/labels, underwear (including thermals and swimwear) or socks, water bottles, food products or gift cards.

We require proof of purchase for any return or exchange.

Faulty, Damaged Or Incorrect Products
If the product is faulty or damaged when used and cared for as per the user manual, doesn’t meet its description, or if you have been sent the wrong thing, we will happily exchange, refund or send the product for repair with proof of purchase in accordance with the Consumer Guarantees Act for NZ. You can visit us in-store or contact our Customer Care Team (for Retail Customers) or our Trade Team (for Trade Customers) to discuss your options. Please provide your proof of purchase.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure 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.

We may need to assess your product to determine an appropriate remedy. Some products may need to be sent to the manufacturer or their repair agent for assessment.

You may be refused a refund, repair or replacement in certain circumstances, including where you have substantially modified or misused the product.

How To Return Or Exchange
You can return or exchange in-store, including for online purchases, at any Supercheap Auto store. Postal returns are available for online purchases but not exchanges. A shipping fee may apply to returns including postal returns and the return of bulky items. Check our Store Locator for all store locations and trading hours.

Contact your local store before returning any toolchest, fuel operated or bulky products, such as compressors, generators or pressure washers, so that we can assess whether an on-site inspection is appropriate or if the product needs to be sent away for assessment.

Receiving A Refund
Refunds will be processed via the original payment method, except where you have used a gift card, in which case we will provide you with a replacement gift card of equivalent value. Refunds can take up to 7 business days to appear in your account from the day the refund is processed by our team member.

For Supercheap Auto Club members, we may reverse Supercheap Auto Club Credits that have been allocated to you in relation to a refunded product. For our Trade Customers, any purchases completed with 30 Day Credit will be refunded in full back to your 30 Day Credit Account. Delivery charges, any installation fees and shipping fees for change of mind refunds are non-refundable.

    How is my return assessed?

    We may need to conduct an assessment of your product to determine whether a repair, replacement or refund is appropriate. Certain technical products may need to be sent to the manufacturer or their repair agent for assessment,
    Technical products that require assessment may include:

  • Sound, electrical and motor driven products
  • Compressors
  • Power tools
  • Custom or Special Order Items that are not stocked in store

    For some product assessments you may have the option to liaise directly with the manufacturer, or their repair agent.
    Our store team members can provide you with the relevant manufacturer’s contact details.
    Products assessed as having a minor fault will be repaired by the manufacturer and returned to you. We offer a refund or replacement if the product is assessed as having a major failure.

    Repair Notice: The repair of your goods may result in the loss of user-generated data. Please ensure that you have made a copy of any data saved on your goods. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
