Costs of Returns not covered by Warranty or Australian Consumer Law.

• Have been opened and their packaging breached or damaged.
• Have been installed.
• Have been altered.
• Have been damaged. 

The restocking fee varies from product to product. For most products, the restocking fee is 15% of the total price of the returned good(s). The restocking fee is 50% of the total price of the returned good(s) for products that have been altered or cut to fit a vehicle that has been incorrectly selected.

Please note that these costs are not applicable to products covered under manufacturer's warranties or Australian Consumer Law.

The vast majority of our items are shipped from our warehouse in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

We use third-party couriers for deliveries. Our most commonly used courier partners are:

1. Star Track Express
2. Australia Post
3. TNT/FedEx
4. Fastway/Aramex
5. Mainfreight

You may select to have your goods delivered and insured during shipment.

We do offer a pickup option from our premises in Kotara, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia by appointment only. 

We do not offer shipping to any countries other than Australia at this stage. 

We aim to dispatch all orders within 1 business day of your full payment. If you need to cancel your order after it has been dispatched, our standard Returns & Refund policy may apply.

We may dispatch some items from our supplier's warehouses in cases where the products are particularly bulky which we do not have in stock at the time of you placing your order. These warehouses are located in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. 

We regret that our supplier's warehouses are not open to the public and we are therefore unable to offer a pickup option for products being dispatched from these locations.

We ship the vast majority of our products with TNT/FedEx Express but we reserve the right to use other carriers should the need arise due to your location, the size of the consignment or the cost of shipping.

Some shipments may be dispatched in more than one carton.
