Merchandise
Please keep in mind that while Warehouse Bargains offers a wide variety of discounted factory priced merchandise for sale on the Site, we cannot guarantee availability of any item at a particular time. We reserve the right to change our merchandise offerings and stock quantities at any time. We also reserve the right to change content, features and offerings, pricing and sales, and adjust accessibility of the Site at our discretion.
Return Shipping
Requesting a Change-Of-Mind Return does not grant the customer free return shipping. Warehouse Bargains offers factory direct pricing which means our customers $ave money on every order they make. With the huge reduction in retail price, we are unable to offer free returns too. We'd love to do this for our customers, but its just not financially viable for us to do so. Please respect our difficult decision before purchasing.
All returns shipped to our nominated return center is at the customer's expense unless a prior written agreement has been reached between Warehouse Bargains and the customer. When the customer organises their own shipping carrier (including Australia Post) to transport the return item back to our return center, Warehouse Bargains cannot be held accountable, or liable, if the return item goes missing in the mail or is lost, damaged or stolen during transit. It's important that customers use good tracking facilities and cost-effective transit insurance when returning items to us.
Returning Bulky or Heavy Items
Please be aware that if the item you wish to return is bulky or weighs more than 22kgs metric volume weight as per Australia Post Size Weight Guidelines, you may need to use a different carrier service that can handle the extra weight or bulky dimensions. You can use Fastway Couriers or TOLL Logistics if you wish, or you can use any shipping carrier service you like. All we ask is that you notify us via email of the tracking details so we can keep an eye out for your return parcel.
Please also consider proper insurance to cover you financially in the event your return package goes missing, or is lost, damaged, stolen or shipped to a destination not related to our warehouse. With transit insurance you will be financially compensated should any of these events occur. Warehouse Bargains is not liable nor financially responsible for any Return package that goes missing during transit, is lost, stolen or damaged or shipped to a destination not related to our warehouse.
Non-Returnable Items
Not all products can be returned. We do not accept return requests on Clearance Items, Discontinued Items, Custom-Made products or products that do not qualify for return.
All Clearance Items, Discontinued Items and Custom Made product sales are final. Custom-made products that are custom manufactured to the customer's specific requirements cannot be returned or exchanged.
If you submit a return request on a Clearance item, Discontinued Item, Custom-Made item, or Product that does not qualify for return, we will cancel the request and contact you to explain our decision.
Please Note: Submitting a return request via our website does not constitute automatic return approval as each return request is reviewed by our Returns Dept.
Requesting a Change-Of-Mind Return is not a consumer right under Australian Consumer law and we may, at our sole discretion, reject any Change-Of-Mind Return Request if approving such request opens us up to financial loss. Refusing a Change-Of-Mind Return Request does not impede your consumer Rights & Guarantees under Australian Consumer Law.
Manufactured Faulty Goods
Should you discover a genuine manufacturing fault with your Warehouse Bargains purchase, please contact us as soon as you can. When contacting us through our website, its important you provide concise, detailed information regarding the fault so we can reply with swift customer support and suitable consumer remedies. We process all product fault submissions on a case by case basis.
Immediate information we require:

- The name of the product (can be found on your invoice);
- An accurate description of the fault;
- Clear photos and/or short video showing the fault;
Our support staff will contact you once we receive the information and determine best course of action.

Your Consumer Rights Under Australian Law
When purchasing goods and services from Warehouse Bargains, consumers are provided with automatic guarantees and rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). The Australian Consumer Law states that goods must match the description provided by the business, be safe to operate, quality controlled for acceptable use, present with no faults or defects, and the goods function and/or perform as described on our website. Services offered must be provided with acceptable care, skill, and technical knowledge and give the results that the consumer and the business have agreed on. These guarantees and rights provided by Australian Consumer Law are known as ‘Consumer Guarantees’.
Our products come with Consumer Guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. These Guarantees mean that you are entitled to a replacement, or refund if your purchased item is found to have a major fault or failure, and compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. In other words, if we knew in advance that the product was defective, and we sold it to you anyway, you would be entitled to compensation under Australian Consumer Law.
As a consumer you are also entitled to have the product repaired, or replaced if the product fails to be of acceptable quality, and the failure or fault does not amount to a major failure. Consumer Guarantees generally apply for an amount of time that can be considered 'reasonable' given factors such as the type, and cost of the product, or any representations made by us regarding product usage and longevity.
Misuse Of Products
When consumers deliberately misuse the product(s) they purchase, or they use the product(s) not as intended or described on our website, or they use the product(s) in a manner that is unfit or unsafe for use, or within an environment that fundamentally places the product under extreme temperature changes, or they alter the product(s) (hardware and software) so that the product does not conform to manufacturer guidelines or specifications, or warranty terms, then consumers limit their Consumer Rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Our Discount Pricing
Warehouse Bargains offers factory direct discount pricing on our entire range. Unlike other discount retail outlets, we can sustain our heavily discounted prices 365 days of the year because we do not have a showroom or bricks and mortar store that impacts our discount pricing. This means that our customers (as in, you) win big time by snapping up your favourite retail brands at near cost price!

For multi-item orders, we may split your order into separate shipments depending on what you purchase. This is completely normal as we have warehouses located in Victoria, NSW & Queensland.
