Any applicable duty and tax at destination country are receiver’s responsibility. If unsure, please familiarise yourself with customs requirements and import duty/tax thresholds in your country prior to placing an order.

Please note The Conscious Store does not cover import liabilities that may be applied by the government of the destination country. We not accept any responsibility for customs delays, duties or taxes that may apply in the destination country. Under no circumstance will The Conscious Store accept any orders back due to rejection of customs charges.

The Conscious Store is not responsible if customers are not notified by their country’s postal authority that items are awaiting payment of customs duties and taxes.

We have a 10-day return policy, which means you have 10 days after receiving your item to request a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. To start a return, you can contact us at hello@consciousstore.com.au. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at hello@consciousstore.com.au.

We don't facilitate exchanges. The fastest way is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Shipping charges are non-refundable. If you received FREE shipping on your order and decide to return/refund your items, you will be refunded the order amount minus the actual cost for shipping.

Please check your order when you receive it and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item. Please email us at hello@consciousstore.com.au with your order number, description of the issue and photos. We will replace any defective / damaged items and of course, organise the right product to be sent to you if you've received the wrong item.

DOMESTIC DELIVERIES:

The Conscious Store does not take responsibility for any uncollected parcels that are returned to sender, or incorrect addresses that are returned to sender. If your tracking states that the parcel has been delivered but you don't believe it has been first check around your property and ask neighbours to confirm it's not there. Then first check with your local post office before contacting us. Alternatively, for Domestic deliveries you can call Australia Post with your tracking number to acquire further information on 13 76 78. You can also enter your tracking number directly into the Australia Post website for updates. For international orders, you can contact Sendle with your tracking number or if your parcel has arrived into your country you can call your local Post Office. On the Sendle tracking page you'll find the local postal service tracking number at the bottom of the page - please note this may not be visible until the parcel has arrived into your country and has been passed over to your local postal service.

Please note, if an order is returned to sender due to the goods not claimed within the required time frame or an incorrect address provided, there are two options:

1. Providing the order has been received back to us we can refund the order minus the original shipping charge and return to sender fee

2. Once we receive the order back to us we can resend it, however the shipping charge will need to be paid again by customer prior to dispatch. We will send a link for payment.

If an order is not delivered within the timeframe, we can open an investigation with Australia Post or Sendle to locate the parcel. Please note, we cannot resend/refund the order until the investigation is complete and the parcel is either located or officially classified as lost.

 

If there is any information you aren't able to find on our website please get in touch and we'd be happy to assist. If you've purchased the product, the instructions for use and other information will be found on the product packaging.

Any fragile goods will be wrapped carefully and sent in a sturdy cardboard box.
