Returns, Refund & Exchange Policy

ABN 27 120 678 104

Sales from this webstore are subject to Ace Workwear Pty Ltd Terms and Conditions of Sale.
This policy explains how returns, exchanges, cancellations, shortages, decorated-goods claims, and warranty processes are handled.


1. INCORRECT SUPPLY OR SHORTAGES

If goods have been incorrectly supplied or are found to be faulty, they may be returned for replacement or credit. Ace Workwear reserves the right, at its discretion, to resupply or credit shortages.

1.1 Responsibility When Goods Go to a 3rd Party (e.g. Your Decorator)

If goods are delivered to a third party (such as your embroidery/printing decorator), it is the customer’s responsibility (or their agent’s) to inspect the order before decoration, including:

  • Style
  • Colour
  • Size
  • Quantity

1.2 Notification Timeframe

Any discrepancies (incorrect supply, faults, shortages) must be:

  • Reported in writing
  • Within 48 hours of delivery

1.3 Decorated Goods Where Supply Was Incorrect

If incorrectly supplied goods are decorated before the discrepancy is identified, Ace Workwear will still meet its obligations under the Australian Consumer Law for the garments themselves (e.g., replacement or credit).

However:

  • We will not cover decoration costs
  • We will not cover consequential losses from third-party processing
  • Shortage claims made after decoration do not include decoration reimbursement

2.1 Cancellation After Dispatch

If an order is cancelled after it has been shipped, the customer must cover:

  • Return freight
  • Restocking fee (see Section 3)

2.2 Cancellation After Packing but Before Dispatch

If an order is cancelled after it has been packed but before dispatch, a restocking fee applies:

  • $22.00 including GST OR 10% of the stock item price — whichever is greater

2.3 Incorrectly Ordered Goods (Customer Error)

If goods are incorrectly ordered by the customer:

  • They may be returned within 21 business days of delivery

For exchanges:

Customers are entitled to a remedy under the ACL if goods are faulty, damaged, or significantly different from described.

Remedies include:
