Shipping policy
Hines Hardware ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website hineshardware.com.
By placing an order through this website, you agree to the terms outlined below. These terms are provided to ensure clarity and protect both our customers and our business.
General
All orders are subject to product availability. While we aim to maintain accurate stock levels, occasional discrepancies may occur.
If an item becomes unavailable after your order has been placed, we will dispatch available items, contact you regarding the unavailable product, and offer the option to wait for restocking or receive a refund.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the weight, size, and delivery destination.
All applicable shipping fees are displayed before completing your order.
Returns & Refunds
Change of Mind
We accept returns for change of mind under the following conditions.
Requests must be made within 30 days of receiving the item. Items must be unused, in their original packaging, and in resellable condition.
Customers are responsible for return shipping costs.
Once the item is received and inspected, eligible refunds will be processed to the original payment method.
Original shipping fees are non-refundable, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Warranty Returns
We honour valid warranty claims submitted within 90 days of receiving the item, subject to any additional rights available under Australian Consumer Law.
Customers may initially be responsible for return shipping costs. If the claim is approved, eligible return shipping costs will be reimbursed.
After inspection, depending on the circumstances, customers may be offered a refund, store credit, or replacement item where available.
Processing typically takes up to 7 business days after the returned item is received.
