WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ITEM IN STOCK?

We will always try to get your ordered items to you as quickly as possible. However, if we do not have your ordered items in stock we may need to ship the product(s) from overseas. This may delay delivery of your order by up to four weeks. If this is the case we will contact you as soon as possible on receipt of your order to advise the actual delivery date. Items temporarily out of stock at time of shipping will be notified as "on backorder". Where products are no longer available, you will be issued with a refund.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM NOT HOME WHEN YOU DELIVER?

Australia Post will leave a card notifying that they attempted to deliver your order. You will then need to collect your parcel from their depot. Something New will not be responsible for misplaced or stolen orders left at your premises or with other parties.

RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL.

Contact Something New by email at somethingnewinvitations@outlook.com or telephone or text on 0412 696 940 before returning goods for any reason.

All return claims must be made within 14 days of purchase. Proof of purchase is required for all authorised returns.

IMPORTANT

Returns will not be accepted on opened products, food and candy items, candles or items that have been personalised correctly as requested and as per order. Candles shipped by ground during the summer months cannot be returned. Goods that arrive faulty, damaged or incorrectly personalised must be reported to Something New immediately upon receipt.

NOTE

Our handmade products are designed, drafted, measured, cut, glued, assembled and packed by hand in our studio. We take care to ensure each piece is as much like the next as possible, however due to their handmade nature, discrepancies between device screens and printers and changes to paper and fabric dye batches: variations may occur from piece to piece. Any irregularities should not be considered a defect, flaw or fault, just a quirk of their handmade nature.

It may be impossible to achieve an exact colour match for every item. Small variations in colour serve to enhance the overall effect of your colour scheme. Products seen on the online catalogue do not always represent an identical colour match. Colours may vary slightly due to the manufacturing process specific to each product or by various situations beyond our control such as the hue/contrast on your device screens.

In the unlikely event of a faulty product or damaged item on delivery, please return the defective product back to Something New for inspection in original condition with the original packaging (where possible). Credit for the return will apply only to the purchase price of the product. Shipping and processing charges will not be refunded. Return delivery costs are the responsibility of the customer. Registered post with a tracking number is recommended. Something New is not responsible for items damaged or lost in the return delivery process and a refund will not be paid on returned goods that are not received by Something New.

A considerable amount of time and love goes into our handmade creations and it is important to Something New that you are happy with your purchase. 

Please remember to choose carefully.

In accordance with the relevant Australian Consumer Protection laws and regulations, refunds are not provided if you simply change your mind after your purchase or make a wrong selection. 

Refunds / exchanges can be made if the product you buy is defective, faulty, wrongly described, different from a sample shown or do not do what they are supposed to do.

Something New reserves the right not to offer a refund, exchange or repair where the fault or damage is a result of misuse or lack of care. 

Personalised items cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged. However, if the item has been personalised incorrectly the mistake will be rectified at no cost to the customer.

Proof of purchase will be required for all refund / exchange claims. Please retain your order / tax invoice / receipt as your proof of purchase.
