Return Policy
TRAINERS ONLINE RETURNS POLICY
There may be times when you will need to return an item purchased from us. Our Returns Policy is designed to assist you with your return. The benefits given by our Returns Policy are in addition to other rights and remedies you may have as a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
If you wish to return any item(s) you have purchased, you can either return the item(s) via post to our online store or in person to a Trainers store within Australia (only) within 30 days from the date of delivery. Return postage costs will be at your expense, unless the item(s) returned is faulty or not as ordered. In this instance, postage will be incurred by Trainers. Please contact customer service to organise pre-paid postage.
We encourage you to return your parcel via registered or traceable postal services as all returned parcels remain the responsibility of the purchaser until received by Trainers.
Store purchases can not be returned or refunded online.
Items on ‘Sale’ will only be exchanged (not refunded) for change of mind except where the item is faulty or defective. All SALE items exchanged will incur a $20 restocking fee.
Returns Policy Conditions
At Trainers we want to ensure you are happy with the items you purchase. If you have changed your mind on a purchase we will exchange your item, provide an exchange card or refund your original method of payment provided that:
- You return the item within 30 days (inclusive) from the tracked date of delivery
- You produce your original trainers invoice (receipt) when you return the item
- The item is in original saleable condition:
- With all original tags
- In an unworn, unopened and unused state
- Any sewn labels are still attached
- A returns form is completed and accompanies your returning item(s)
If you are not able to comply with these requirements, Trainers reserves the right to refuse an exchange or refund on change of mind items. Trainers will not accept a bank statement as proof of purchase.
We regret that we are unable to accept the exchange or return of the following items for change of mind for hygiene reasons:
- Swimwear
- Underwear / Skins / Technical Gear
- Earrings and Jewellery
Gift cards cannot be exchanged or refunded and will expire 12 months from the purchase date.
FAULTY ITEMS
If you have a faulty item that you would like refunded, repaired or replaced, please contact our customer service team before sending the item back. If emailing regarding a fault, please attach pictures of the fault so the item can be assessed before a return is approved. In cases where a faulty item was received a pre-paid shipping label can be emailed to cover the return costs on the faulty item. Faulty items may be returned outside of the regular returns time frames providing the item is still under warranty. Please contact customer service or the brand directly for warranty periods.
We aim to have your refund processed within 24 hours of receiving; however some faults must be approved by the manufacturer before a refund or replacement can be issued. In this case we will keep you informed on a regular basis via email updates. This process usually takes around 2 weeks and once completed you should receive your refund or replacement within 1-7 business days.
INSTORE EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS
As per Australian consumer law, we do not refund for incorrect choice or "change of mind". However, we are happy to exchange the product for anything else in the store, give store credit or gift voucher. Items are to be in original condition with all tags and labels intact. No exceptions.
If the item has a manufacture fault or does not do the function it was designed for, we are happy to give a refund on approval from our manager.
Our in store refund policy is different from our online refund policy, So please choose carefully when selecting products in one of our physical retail locations.
Signs are visibly displayed in our stores to advise of our in store refund and return policy.
