Return Procedure
All goods to be returned, whether defective or not, will require a Return Authorisation Number before they can be returned.
To obtain a Return Authorisation Number, please complete this form, or contact our Customer Service staff by e-mail at returns@tweakit.net
You will need to supply the following information, most of which will be on your packing slip or invoice before we can issue a Return Authorisation Number: -
• Name and contact details of original purchaser.
• Our reference number
• Part number of product to be returned
• Date on packing slip or invoice
• Reason for return
• Your name and contact details.
Each Return Authorisation Number is only valid for one (1) product and must match the product authorised for return.
Return Authorisation Numbers are only valid for 7 days, so we must receive the returned product into our warehouse within this period; otherwise, the return may not be accepted if it is returned as "Unopened Product".
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all products are suitably packaged in order to prevent damage during return shipping. The customer must not write on or attach labels to the product being returned; otherwise, the return may not be accepted if it is returned as "Unopened Product".
A copy of the original packing slip or invoice, or other proof of purchase, must be included with the returned product. If such proof of purchase is not provided, we may only be able to offer a replacement product, and not a refund.
The Return Authorisation Number should be clearly visible on the outside of the product-shipping carton and addressed to the following address (unless otherwise directed): -

Tweakit - Returns
11 Tengah Crescent
Mona Vale, NSW 2103.
Sydney, Australia.

For "Dead on Arrival", "Damaged in Transit" or "Incorrectly Shipped" product, Tweakit will arrange for the product to be picked up for return to Tweakit.

Tweakit will test all products returned as "Dead on Arrival" or "Damaged in Transit" within 7 days of receipt into Tweakit’s warehouse.

Where a product is returned because you believe it is faulty and the fault cannot be observed by our internal testing, the product may need to be tested by the manufacturer. In such cases, the testing process may result in delays of up to 28 days before we can determine whether a credit note will be issued.

We will only issue refunds on request. For your security, all refunds will be made either by cash, cheque, or by applying a credit against the credit card used for the original purchase. The actual method of refund will may depend upon the payment method used for the original purchase.
In some circumstances, we may elect that a replacement product or repair is sufficient remedy instead of a full refund.
