FAQ
How do I return my item?
You’re welcome to return your item at any of our TKD stores (locations here), or reach out to our Online team at CustomerCare@toolkitdepot.com.au and request an AusPost return shipping label for items that do not exceed 22kg and/or 105cm in length. This return label will allow you to take your item into your local Australia Post store to return to us, return shipping costs may apply. Please note, you may need to re-package the item at your own cost for safe transport and return. Our return includes AusPost orders only, and TKD does not accept liability for any items damaged or lost during return process.
What if my item is big and bulky or oversized?
Aside from the option to return to one of our TKD stores, if your item is classed as Big & Bulky and/or Oversized, you may contact one of the following freight providers to return your item: Fed/EX TNT, Toll Australia, Allied Express or your preferred alternate courier. Tool Kit Depot does not cover the cost of returning Big & Bulky and/or Oversized items for change of mind returns or customer incorrect ordering, and does not accept liability for any items damaged or lost during return process.
How will my return be processed?
Once you’ve made the decision to return your item, we will arrange to inspect the item to ensure it’s in a saleable condition and, once confirmed, we will arrange to process your refund via your original payment method. We cannot process a refund using an alternative payment method and cannot process your return until goods are confirmed as being in saleable condition.
How long will the return process take?
Depending on how you choose to return your item (in-store or via AusPost return shipping label), please allow 7 – 10 business days for your return process to be completed once you've handed items over. Please then allow a further 3 – 5 business days for your original payment method to be accepted and settled into your account.
What if my order contained an aerosol?
When purchasing aerosols online or other dangerous goods, please be aware that they must be returned or exchanged in-store due to dangerous goods packaging requirements. For further information, please contact our Online team at CustomerCare@toolkitdepot.com.au.
