2. If you wish to return to the online store of purchase, please contact that store by email or phone for next steps. All returns will be processed once we have received the items back.
3. Please ensure you send your parcel back to the store with tracking capabilities or registered post as all returned parcels are your responsibility.

SPORTFIRST RETURNS POLICY CONDITIONS

You are entitled to a replacement, credit or refund where item(s) have a fault, such as:

• when it is faulty;
• wrongly described; or
• different from a sample shown to you.

We are not required to refund your product if you simply change your mind.

If you have changed your mind on a purchase, we will happily exchange your item or offer you a gift card provided that:

• You return the item within 14 days (inclusive) from the tracked date of delivery.
• You produce your original SPORTFIRST online receipt when you return the item.
• The item is in an original saleable condition.
• All original tags & box (for footwear) are in original condition.
• In an unworn, unopened and unused state.
• The original shoe box needs to be sent (even if the box is damaged). Please note we will not be able to process any exchanges without the box as we cannot resell the shoe without original box & the shoes will be sent back to you.
• Any sewn labels are still attached.

If you are not able to comply with these requirements, SPORTFIRST reserves the right to refuse an exchange on change of mind items.

PRODUCT ASSESEMENT

email our store directly that the goods were purchased from. Also please keep the tracking

number from your return label as a record.

FAULTY GOODS

SPORTFIRST returns and exchange policy is consistent with the ACCC guidelines.

The policy only applies to footwear, apparel and small sports equipment and accessory

items normally stocked by most SPORTFIRST stores

If a product or service you buy fails to meet a consumer guarantee, you have the right to ask for a repair, replacement or refund under the Australian Consumer Law. A consumer can ask for their preference of a free repair, replacement or refund, but are not always entitled to one. For example, the consumer guarantees do not apply if you got what you asked for but simply changed your mind, found it cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or had no use for it. If the consumer has a minor problem with a product or service, SPORTFIRST can choose to give you a free repair instead of a replacement or refund.

When the consumer has a major problem with a product, you have the right to ask for your choice of a replacement or refund.

If seeking a refund on what you deem a faulty product, we will assess your product looking to see if it is faulty or not as advertised. This may take up to 2 weeks. You will be notified of the outcome. Where possible, we will offer to repair faulty items. If the issue is not repairable or the same product is not available, you are entitled to a full refund in the original tender.

GIFT CARDS

Gift cards cannot be exchanged or refunded and will expire 36 months from the purchase date. Please be aware that gift cards are treated as a legal form of tender, like cash if they are lost then they will not be replaced.
