Mikki & Me's Refund Policy

EFFECTIVE DATE: 1 March 2025

Mikki & Me strives to ensure that all our customers are satisfied with their purchases, however, we understand that there are occasions when items may need to be returned for a store credit or refund (depending on the circumstances) so we have established the following policy to ensure this process is as simple as possible.

Our Returns and Refunds Policy forms part of, and must be read in conjunction with, our Website Terms and Conditions.

Please note: our Returns and Refunds Policy does not affect your statutory rights to return products that are incorrect, damaged or faulty/not fit for purpose.

when can i initiate a RETURN

We ask that you let us know within 5 days of receiving your order that you wish to initiate a return via support@mikkiandme.com.au.  

I RECEIVED THE WRONG ORDER

If you receive an item that you did not order, or if the contents of your order are incorrect, we apologise for the inconvenience and are committed to making things right as quickly as possible. We will ask you to return the incorrect product and let us know if you would like us to:

- send the correct item; or

- provide you with a refund.

Damaged Products (Damaged During Shipping):

Despite our best efforts and those of our shipping partners to protect your products during transit, damages can sometimes occur. If your product arrives damaged as a result of the shipping process, we want to make it right. We will ask you to provide images of the package delivery (i.e photo of the damaged box prior to opening) and let us know if you would like us to:

- send a replacement to you; or

- provide you with a refund.

My order has a manufacturing fault (or i think it does!)

Faulty Products:

If a product is found to be faulty or not working as intended upon receipt, we are here to help. Our goal is to ensure you have a product that meets our high standards and your expectations.

- send a replacement to you; or

- provide you with a refund.

I have changed my mind, can I return my product?

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we will happily accept returns if you are the original purchaser and the item is unused with the original tags still attached and in the original packaging which must be in the original condition.

Upon receipt, we will inspect the item and we will issue you with a credit note, if you notify us within 30 days of purchase. Please note that we do not refund the postage fees for change of mind returns. Please see “HOW TO RETURN CHANGE OF MIND PRODUCTS” for details on how to return.

Can I return a sale item?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns for sale items or clearance items (unless they are faulty, damaged upon receipt or do not match the description of the product you ordered).

I ordered the wrong item - CAN I return it for a refund?

We are unable to offer refunds for incorrect purchases, however we can offer a store credit for the product once the originally purchased, unopened product has been returned to us.

CUSTOM AND PERSONALISED PRODUCTS 

Personalised or custom-made products are unable to be returned (unless the product is incorrect, damaged or faulty).

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REPORT A DAMAGED OR FAULTY PRODUCT?

We will arrange for the incorrect, damaged or faulty product to be returned to us and you can let us know whether you would like us to either:

- send the correct item;

- send a replacement to you; or

- provide you with a refund.

Please see details below on how to organise a return.

DO YOU NEED TO UNDERTAKE A Quality Check?

Yes.  Upon receipt of a returned item reported as damaged, we will perform a quality check to assess the extent of the damage and confirm it aligns with the customer's description. This check is crucial to ensuring that we address the issue appropriately and provide a solution such as a replacement, repair, or refund, depending on the specific case and customer preference. If the damage is confirmed to be due to shipping or a manufacturing defect, we will proceed with the corrective action at no additional cost to the customer.
