Refund & Returns Policy — Sunvisor Store

At Sunvisor Store, we are committed to providing high-quality exterior windscreen sun visors and automotive accessories to customers across Australia. If you experience an issue with your order, this Refund & Returns Policy explains your rights, return eligibility, and refund procedures.

This policy is designed in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and reflects common standards used by Australian automotive accessory retailers.

 

1. Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

You may be entitled to a:

  • Refund
  • Replacement
  • Repair
  • Compensation

if a product:

  • Is faulty or defective
  • Is not as described
  • Is unsafe
  • Does not perform as expected
  • Has a major failure

Nothing in this policy excludes or limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

 

2. Change Of Mind Returns

We understand that sometimes customers may order the wrong item or change their mind after purchase.

We may accept change-of-mind returns within 30 days of delivery provided all conditions below are met:

Return Conditions

To qualify for a change-of-mind return:

  • The item must be unused and uninstalled
  • The item must be in original resaleable condition
  • Original packaging, accessories, manuals, and hardware must be included
  • Proof of purchase must be provided
  • The product must not be damaged after delivery
  • The return must be approved by our support team before sending the item back

Automotive retailers commonly require products to remain unopened and resaleable for change-of-mind returns.

 

3. Non-Returnable Items

The following items may not be eligible for return unless required under Australian Consumer Law:

  • Custom-made or made-to-order products
  • Clearance or final sale items
  • Installed or used products
  • Products returned without original packaging
  • Damaged products caused by incorrect installation
  • Special-order imported products

Many automotive accessory retailers apply similar exclusions for custom or special-order items.

 

4. Faulty, Damaged, Or Incorrect Items

If you receive an item that is:

  • Faulty
  • Damaged during transit
  • Incorrectly supplied
  • Missing components

please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

To help us process your request quickly, please provide:

  • Your order number
  • Photos of the item and packaging
  • Description of the issue
  • Delivery details

Where a product is confirmed faulty or incorrectly supplied, Sunvisor Store may provide:

  • A replacement
  • A repair
  • A refund
  • A prepaid return label

Depending on the circumstances and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

 

5. Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment Responsibility

Customers are responsible for ensuring products are compatible with their vehicle before purchase.

We strongly recommend reviewing:

  • Product descriptions
  • Vehicle compatibility information
  • Fitment notes
  • Installation requirements

If you are unsure about compatibility, please contact our support team before ordering.

Returns caused by incorrect customer selection may be treated as change-of-mind returns and may incur return shipping costs or restocking fees. Similar policies are common among Australian automotive parts retailers.

 

6. Return Shipping Costs

Change Of Mind Returns

For approved change-of-mind returns:

  • Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility
  • Original shipping charges are non-refundable
  • Tracking is strongly recommended for returned parcels

Faulty Or Incorrect Items

If the return is due to:

  • A faulty product
  • Incorrect supply
  • Shipping damage
  • Major product issue

Sunvisor Store may cover return shipping costs or provide a prepaid return label.

 

7. Restocking Fees

Approved change-of-mind returns may be subject to a restocking fee where applicable.

Restocking fees may apply when:

  • Incorrect items were ordered by the customer
  • Returned products are not in original condition
  • Packaging is damaged or incomplete
  • Products require repackaging or inspection

Many Australian automotive retailers apply restocking fees ranging between 15–20% for change-of-mind returns.

 

8. Refund Processing

Once your returned item has been received and inspected:

  • We will notify you of the refund outcome
  • Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method
  • Refund processing times may vary depending on your bank or payment provider

Please allow approximately 5–10 business days for refunds to appear after approval.

 

9. Exchanges

We may offer exchanges for eligible products depending on:

  • Product availability
  • Vehicle compatibility
  • Return condition

If an exchange item is unavailable, a refund or store credit may be offered.

 

10. Order Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled before dispatch by contacting our support team immediately.

If an order has already been processed or shipped:

  • Cancellation may no longer be possible
  • Return procedures may apply instead
  • Shipping and handling costs may not be refundable

Special-order or made-to-order products may not be eligible for cancellation once production or supplier processing has begun.

 

11. Return Procedure

To request a return:

  1. Contact our support team at sales@sunvisorstore.com
  2. Include your order number and reason for return
  3. Wait for return approval instructions
  4. Securely package the item
  5. Send the return using a tracked shipping method

Returns sent without prior approval may be refused. Similar approval processes are standard across Australian automotive retailers.

 

12. Incorrect Installation & Product Misuse

Refunds, replacements, or warranty claims may be refused where damage results from:

  • Incorrect installation
  • Vehicle modifications
  • Improper use
  • Accidents or impacts
  • Failure to follow installation instructions
  • Normal wear and tear

Professional installation is recommended for all automotive accessories and exterior windscreen sun visors.

 

13. Consumer Rights

Some Australian consumers express frustration with restrictive return policies, particularly around store credit and change-of-mind returns. Under Australian law, businesses must still provide remedies for faulty goods regardless of store policies.

Sunvisor Store aims to provide a fair, transparent, and customer-focused returns process while complying with Australian Consumer Law.
