Refund and Returns Policy
At Australian Paving Centre, we’re committed to providing you with high-quality products and exceptional service. We understand that sometimes, a product may not meet your expectations or may arrive damaged. That’s why we have a straightforward and transparent refund and returns policy. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and have peace of mind knowing that you can return or exchange your product if needed. Our goal is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can shop with confidence.
- APC processes all orders between 1-2 business days, excluding holiday periods. Please choose carefully as refunds cannot always be given after an order has been placed for change of mind or specialty orders.
- Product returns must be approved by the Sales & Operations Manager. All product returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee plus freight costs to return. Substantially unpacked orders from the original packaging will not be accepted.
- You acknowledge that once the products have been installed, you shall be deemed to have accepted the products. APC shall not be liable for the cost of removing products that have been installed.
- If for some reason the items in your order are damaged, incorrect or faulty, APC will replace the affected products. Liability does not extend to costs relating to lifting and re-laying of products.
- To be eligible for an exchange you must be the full paying and invoiced customer. If you did not purchase the items, you are not eligible for an exchange. A receipt or proof of purchase is also required.
- Specialty orders, non-stock items and made to order (MTO) products must be paid in full prior to APC ordering. APC accept no returns or refunds on specialty, non-stock or made to order products under any circumstances. These orders take time to produce & sometimes take longer than anticipated to receive, therefore careful consideration must be taken to understand refunds will not be accepted for change of mind or because they have taken longer to produce than anticipated.
- Claims for damaged or faulty goods must be made within 7 days of delivery.
- To make a return or exchange, you will need to obtain a return authorisation, please contact APC to do so.
