REFUNDS & RETURNS
Please choose your products carefully, as we don't offer refunds and returns, as stated in our "Delivery & Returns Policy".
Unfortunately, the nature of powder coated fencing and glass products does not lend itself to being returned. Our Discounted Online Pricing Structure also does not factor in the time and cost to always be returning leftover and unused items from fencing orders.
Fence Guru™ only sells quality products from Australian Companies. We do not expect that you should ever need to use this returns policy… however in the unlikely event that any of our products are proven to be faulty or defective, you may return the goods for replacement or refund (at our discretion).
Return of goods is also accepted if our goods did not match our product description. Do not return goods without first contacting us and we have confirmed that you have a valid reason to return your goods (Photo evidence will need to be supplied or we may need to inspect the goods).
Refunds may take up to 14 days to process. For a return to be accepted you must notify us within 30 days of purchasing that you wish to return your product.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept returns if you have simply changed your mind, found the product cheaper elsewhere, or decided you don't like or need the product.
To summarise, we ONLY accept returns if the goods you were provided with are FAULTY/DEFECTIVE, or if the goods DIDN'T MATCH THE DESCRIPTION.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR OVER-ORDERS OR CHANGES OF MIND.
Our 'In Stock' Guarantee is for those wishing to collect immediately from the warehouse. We will confirm your order within 24 business hours. If, for any reason, your order is not 'in stock', you will be given a once-off opportunity to cancel your order (within 3 business days of ordering) and receive a full refund OR accept a new supply date.
PLEASE CHOOSE AND ORDER WITH CARE:
Fence Guru customers are required to accept full responsibility for their decision to purchase and for doing the due diligence that their purchase is correct before finalising. Paying for your order is a commitment to purchase. Your purchase order cannot be cancelled after payment has been made. If you decide for any reason that you no longer want your purchase, you would need to sell your materials via a place like Gumtree etc. or an order cancellation fee of 30% will apply. (with a minimum fee of $66.00). The handling fee will not be refunded. Any packing fees (if applicable) will not be refunded.
GOODS CAN NOT BE RETURNED:
As stated in our "Delivery & Returns Policy" we do not offer returns, exchanges or refunds for leftover or unwanted goods because you have simply changed your mind, found the product cheaper elsewhere, or decided you don't like or need the product or have over-ordered etc. Any extra items you may need will require you to place a second order, and any unneeded items would need to be sold via Gumtree etc. In exceptional circumstances, we may accept the return of goods to stock, but only after they are inspected and determined to be in 100% condition and never after eight weeks. In this case, our buyback and restocking offer will be 60% of the order value (with a Minimum fee of $99). Handling fees and shipping fees will not be refunded.
IMPORTANT TIME FRAMES
Important order note: The average time frame for a direct delivery is 3 to 10 working days. Please allow up to 24 business hours for us to confirm your order and provide you with pick-up or delivery details. Please advise us if you require an ASAP pick-up!
