Natural Products & Results Disclaimer
Many of the products we stock, including herbs, supplements and natural remedies, may vary slightly between batches due to seasonal growing conditions, sourcing and the natural characteristics of their ingredients.
As a result:
- Variations in taste, colour, smell or texture are normal and do not indicate a fault.
- Manufacturers may occasionally update product packaging or labelling while the product itself remains substantially the same.
- Individual results will vary from person to person.
Returns or refunds are not accepted based on:
- A product not producing the desired result
- Differences in taste, smell, or appearance between batches
- Personal preference or expectations of how a product should work
While these products are carefully selected for their quality and traditional use, results are not guaranteed and will vary between individuals.
This does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law if a product is genuinely faulty, damaged, or not as described.
Exchanges
We are unable to facilitate direct exchanges.
If you wish to purchase a different item, we recommend placing a new order and returning your original item (where eligible) in accordance with our Change of Mind Return Policy.
Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Items
We carefully package every order before dispatch. If an item arrives faulty, damaged or you have received the incorrect product, please contact us as soon as possible.
If an item in your order arrives damaged or faulty:
-
Contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order.
-
Our team may request a photo of the item to help assess the claim.
-
We may provide a return slip for you to return the faulty product. Approved items can be returned either by post (we recommend tracked shipping) or in person at our store. Please use the original packaging if possible.
-
Once approved, a refund or replacement will be processed promptly.
Depending on the circumstances and in accordance with Australian Consumer Law, we may offer a repair, replacement or refund.
Where required, we may provide a return label for the item to be sent back to us. Approved items may also be returned in person to our store.
Please note we are unable to accept responsibility for parcels that are stolen after they have been marked as delivered to the address provided at checkout.
Returned Orders
If an order is returned to us because an incorrect, incomplete or undeliverable address was supplied at checkout, we will contact you to discuss your preferred option.
If you choose to have the order re-sent, additional shipping charges will apply.
If you choose a refund instead, the refund will be for the value of the products only. Original shipping charges are non-refundable.
Sale & Clearance Items
Sale, clearance and short-dated products are covered by Australian Consumer Law but are not eligible for change of mind returns unless otherwise stated.
Products sold as short-dated or clearance items cannot be returned due to their best-before date where this information was clearly disclosed before purchase.
