Returns Policy

Scruffys main aim is for you to be completely satisfied with every item that you purchase from our on line shop. We understand that there may be times when you will need to return a product that you have purchased from us, and we aim to make this process as easy and hassle free as possible. Our returns policy has been constructed to comply with the relevant consumer rights and retailer obligations as set out under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

All returns must:

Have proof of purchase is required for all returns, which can be in the form of your receipt/tax invoice, a debit/credit card statement

All refunds will be processed using your original method of payment as seen on your receipt (if the item if faulty).

All refunds must be returned to the centre within 30 days

When to return an item

You are entitled to a refund, replacement or credit from Scruffys when an item purchased fails to meet one of the consumer guarantees as per the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), i.e. the product:

  • Is faulty or of unacceptable quality
  • Does not match the description or sample
  • Is unfit for the intended purpose (i.e. does not do what it is meant to do)
  • Is not delivered in a reasonable time frame
  • If the item gets damaged in transit if being delivered

 

If  the product is defective or damaged in transit, return the product within 30 days and we will refund your original delivery charge or cover the costs of delivering any replacement product to you.

We will not however refund delivery charges if the item is returned simply because it is unwanted, the wrong size or your dog does not like the item.

Scruffys will also, as an act of good will, accept return items if you have changed your mind. In this instance, the product must:

  • Be returned within 28 days of purchase (at your cost)
  • Be in a re-saleable original condition so we can resell it
  • The item has NOT been personalised e.g. the pets name has been put on the product

The unwanted product must be returned to us either via post or in person at the centre. You will receive a credit for the value of ‘change of mind’ item that you can re-use at the centre or on the on line shop. You will not receive a full refund.
