TERMS & CONDITIONS

In using the Vacbagdirect.com.au website, you agree to the terms and conditions as set out below.


ORDERING & DISPATCH

  • If you are unfamiliar with on-line shopping or require assistance, please contact us via email on anne@vacbagdirect.com.au and we can provide you with the steps to guide you through the process.
  • To use the Vacbagdirect site, you can shop as a guest, or, for anyone regularly using our site, we suggest you register with us.  This involves providing us with only the information needed to process and ship your order.  This includes your email address, name and invoice/shipping addresses.  You will be asked to nominate a password - this will enable you to check the status of your order on our site, and place and process any future orders quickly.
  • Should you register, upon completion of that registration, you will receive an email advising your login and password.  If you consider this password information sensitive, we suggest you use something unique for this site – eg the make of your vacuum cleaner.
  • We aim to have any orders placed up to 2pm each business day, dispatched that afternoon. 
  • Upon dispatch, you will receive an email from Vacbagdirect advising the shipment of the goods.  You will also receive a separate email from Australia Post advising the tracking ID for your parcel.  These emails will be sent to the email address you provide with your site registration or order, so please ensure that this is a valid address if you wish to receive these notifications.
  • Should a product be out of stock, we will advise you of this via email.  We will also provide you with the estimated supply date, and you have the option to backorder or receive a refund.  

RETURNS & REFUNDS POLICY

  • All returns must be pre-approved – contact sales@vacbagdirect.com.au prior to posting your purchase back to us.

  • We ask that requests for refunds and returns be received within 30 days of purchase.  As per the Australian Consumer Law, you are not entitled to a refund for a change of mind or a product ordered in error, however we do consider these requests for up to 30 days from date of purchase whereby goods must be returned in an as-new condition and ideally in original packaging. 
  • Where the return is for a product you have ordered incorrectly or a change of mind, return postage is at customer’s expense.  We will refund the value of the goods upon receipt
  • Should an order that was shipped free of charge be returned in part or in full (due to change of mind or your error in ordering), our original outgoing postage charge will be deducted from your refund for the goods.   eg.  if you order 10 items and return 8 items, postage will be deducted (from your refund) for the cost of sending the original shipment of 10 items.

  • If an order for 10 or more bags is placed and a refund requested for part of the order, prior to shipment, the postage fee for the final quantity on the order will be applicable. ie $7.50 for 2 or less items; $8.99 for 3 - 9 items.
  • Returns will be refunded to the credit card or Paypal account used to make the original purchase.  Where the original purchase was a Direct Deposit, please provide BSB & Account details.
  • All replacement goods must be re-ordered and paid for as a new transaction on our site.  Please ask our advise if you are unsure as to what you need. 
  • Where an incorrect size of floor tool is purchased one of our adaptors (products VB129 or VB137) can often be an easy cost effective fix.  Please email us if you would like further information re this option or you can order these products from our site.
  • Should we send you an incorrect product due to a packing error, we will replace the product at no additional cost to you.   We will provide you with an e-parcels returns label to enable free return postage of the incorrect item back to us.

  • Our “Right Bag Guarantee” policy means that goods purchased from Vacbagdirect.com.au may be returned within 30 days of purchase, with proof of purchase, freight pre-paid by customer, unused and in the original packaging should you not be 100% satisfied with your purchase.
  • All products listed on our site are after-market brands unless otherwise stated as genuine.  Suitability of  generic brand bags for machines are based on our suppliers recommendations and not all recommended makes and models will be listed on the packs.  Claims for refund that challenge the suitability information on our website are subject to assessment by our suppliers prior to approval.
