All goods sold in Australia come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For further information about the Australian Consumer Law and consumer guarantees, visit www.consumerlaw.gov.au. Where Radio Parts considers the goods to have breached a consumer guarantee, any shipping costs to return the goods to us will be at Radio Parts cost.

To return goods we have delivered to you contact our Customer Service team or complete our online RA form or you may return the goods via our store where a Radio Parts staff member will assist you with any return or repair. This may include inspecting the goods, arranging for the goods to be sent for repair, or providing you with a replacement.

Goods must be returned within a reasonable time. This timeframe may vary from product to product and may depend on the type of product you purchased and the price you paid.

Repairs:

The product must be returned with proof of purchase, it must not be modified or mistreated in any way and it must not have been serviced elsewhere. Goods returned for repair will be assessed and/or repaired within a reasonable time. You may be required to pay labour, assessment and/or freight fees, such as where goods are assessed to have been damaged by misuse or accident. We may provide you with an approximate fee; this may vary due to reasons beyond our control. In some circumstances, goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.

Replacements and Refunds:

We recommend you immediately inspect any goods that we deliver to you or that you collect from our store to ensure you are completely satisfied with the goods. If any goods arrive damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. Radio Parts will arrange to have the damaged goods returned and either arrange for a replacement of the goods or refund. Replacements and refunds of new products that are damaged on delivery or faulty from new requires a proof of purchase of the product and be returned with all original packaging, accessories and/or manuals included. Refunds will be made via the method of payment you used to make your purchase.

Incorrectly ordered/Change of Mind:

Refunds are not normally provided where you have simply changed your mind or found the goods cheaper elsewhere. However, if goods have been incorrectly ordered, at Radio Parts discretion, customers may be credited less a restocking fee.

Procedure for returning products:

The Radio Parts web site offers an on-line facility where customers can enter the details of the product and the service required, the completed form is reviewed by our Customer Service team who will provide you a return authorisation (RA) number. This number is used to trace your product from when it is delivered back to us and until we return it to you. If any goods cannot be easily returned to us please contact our Customer Service team and we will assist in the return of the goods. If any goods that you return are capable of retaining user generated data such as files stored on a hard drive, the replacement or repair of the goods may result in loss of the data. In these circumstances, we recommend you back up data to prevent data loss, and remove sensitive or confidential data. We will not be responsible for any data loss.

The RA number should be clearly printed on the outside of the carton. Once the goods are received, our Customer Service will process your return within a reasonable time. In some cases returned goods must be assessed by the manufacturer or supplier. In these cases, extra time may be taken to resend goods to the appropriate service centres for assessment. After the product is serviced or replaced Radio Parts and/or its supplier will pay the return freight cost back to our customers.

3. Cancellation of Orders

Cancellation of orders will not be accepted unless by prior agreement, and then on terms that will compensate Radio Parts for the cost of cancellation.

4. Special Orders and Buy-Ins

Special orders and buy-ins are goods specially bought in on customer's request. Prices for special orders and buy-ins are subject to change and depend upon the supplier's latest pricelist at the time of purchase.

Special orders consist of:

1. Non-stock items – $50 minimum value per line item
   (Note: Delays may occur due to suppliers minimum order value)
2. Orders for bulk quantities – require customer acceptance of price, and estimated delivery date. If the total price exceeds the customer's credit limit, payment upon order is required. After acceptance of the quote by the customer special orders cannot be cancelled or the goods returned unless the Radio Parts supplier agrees to order cancellation and return of the goods.

5. Backorders

The unsupplied items on an order will be automatically backordered if the line item exceeds $5.00 unless the customer stipulates "no backorders".

The balances of orders will normally be dispatched freight free unless;

1. The entire order is backordered, in this case, freight will be charged when the backorder is sent.
2. In the opinion of Radio Parts, the freight cost on the backordered portion is substantial, in this case, freight will be charged.

Due to supply chain issues, backorders can sometimes incur long waiting times and come back into stock with a price rise from the supplier. In most instances, Radio Parts will honour the original purchase price of the backordered item, but if the price increase is substantial, we reserve the right to ask for additional payment to cover the cost of the increase. In such an event, the option to cancel and receive a refund of the original purchase price will also be offered.
