We will do our best to have the incorrect item returned as soon as possible and the correct item sent out to you. However, you need to advise us as soon as possible to ensure a speedy resolution. 

 

Faulty Product

 

If a product is defective, please contact us as soon as you become aware of the issue. A repair, replacement, or refund will be organized, and we will generally consult with the manufacturer or supplier before proceeding with any product return requests.

If a repair cannot be made, then we will replace the item, or a refund will be offered.

 

Change-of-Mind or Incorrect Choice

 


Order has not been dispatched:

We are happy to refund your order in full, however, any special order products and back order products are non-refundable.  

 


Order has been dispatched:

If you change your mind or purchase an incorrect item, Outback Hobbies offers up to 30 days from the time of delivery to return the product at your own cost for an exchange or store credit.

Please contact us via our website chat function if you are considering returning an item. The items must be returned in their original, undamaged condition, in the original packaging before an exchange or store credit can be made for the value of the item. Once the returned item is received, it will be assessed to ensure it is accepted. 

If the item isn't in the full resalable original condition, a restocking fee may be applied based on the assessment or rejected.

Pre-Orders:

When you place a Pre-Order with Outback Hobbies, it means we're working to source the product within a timeframe of approximately 6 months unless a date is listed. 

This timeframe serves as a guide and is not guaranteed. If you have any questions or concerns about Pre-Order details, such as estimated arrival times or bulk pricing, please don't hesitate to contact us for clarification.

While we strive for accuracy, Pre-Orders do not guarantee final pricing due to external factors beyond our control that may arise once we've submitted our import order to suppliers. Changes in pricing will not affect existing paid customers. 

Due to the nature of Pre Orders, change of mind, reasonable time frame and incorrect purchase selection are non refundable.

Should you change your mind, we can convert your order's value into store credit. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

Back-Orders:

A Back-Order is essentially the same as Pre-Order, the difference is how the order is placed. Back-Order is a status we use for your order in the event that the item ordered is not available from our suppliers in a reasonable time-frame set out in our Shipping and Delivery page.

It's essential to note that once you, as our customer, accept the Back-Order status, change of mind, reasonable time frame and incorrect purchase selection are non refundable.  Your understanding and cooperation in these matters are greatly appreciated.

 

Out of stock/discontinued items, and additional Back-Order information: 

When you make a purchase with Outback Hobbies, as our valued customer, you enter into an agreement to abide by the following terms and conditions. In the event of discrepancies including, but not limited to, incorrect listing prices, product unavailability, or discontinuation, we commit to resolving the issue efficiently and to your satisfaction, with minimal disruption to the dispatch of goods.
