We understand that there may come a time where you need to return a purchase from us and we want to make the returns process as simple and easy as possible for you.

If you are not happy with your purchase from Officeworks, you can return or exchange it, or have it repaired, or a service cancelled, in accordance with the terms below.

Change of Mind Returns – 30 Days

If you have changed your mind about your purchase, Officeworks will be pleased to offer you a refund or exchange provided that:

• You return the item within 30 days of purchase;

• We will record your name, postal address, phone number and email address. These details are collected in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Collection Statement.
• If you are unable to provide a satisfactory proof of purchase, Officeworks may, at its absolute discretion, provide you with an exchange or Officeworks gift card to the current value of the item.

Please note change of mind returns are not available for the following items:

• Software and other downloadable material
• Prepaid business services which have been activated and / or used
• Gift cards, mobile phone recharge and iTunes cards

Other Returns – Consumer Guarantees

The Australian Consumer Law protects consumers by giving them certain guarantees when they buy goods and services. These are known as “Consumer Guarantees”. For further information, please refer to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website.

You must provide proof of purchase to make a claim and Officeworks reserves the right to decline an exchange, refund or repair where a fault is caused by misuse or neglect.

For Prepaid Business Services, you may cancel a service which you have activated and claim a refund for unused services if there is a problem with the service. Requests for the cancellation of a service may need to be submitted to the service provider.

If you experience activation problems with Prepaid Cards or Special Activation Codes provided by third parties, we recommend that you contact the third-party service provider for assistance in activating any credit entitlement, as Officeworks is unable to independently determine the validity of these codes.

Quality Print Promise

We want you to be 100% happy with your print and copy products. If you are dissatisfied with your print & copy products, we will re-print your order for free provided that:

• Subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, you must request a re-print of identical affected product/s within 5 business days of collecting or receiving your products and;
• All affected print and copy products must be returned in the same condition as they were provided to you.

And if you’re still not happy, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked provided that:

• Subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, a refund must be requested within 5 business days of collecting your re-printed products; and
• All affected print and copy products must be returned in the same condition as they were provided to you.

Additional things to know:

• This guarantee is offered in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. In the case of any conflict, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law prevail.
• If your products were delivered to you, we will cover the cost of re-delivering your products. If you ask for a refund, we will also refund any delivery fee you paid.
• This guarantee applies only to the quantity of print & copy products which you are dissatisfied with. This may be less than the entire order quantity.
• Print & Copy print guarantee does not apply to print & copy products which match a physical proof which you approved prior to production of those products.
• Production times for reprinted products are the same as for the original order.

Manufacturer Assistance

You may, therefore, prefer to contact the manufacturer directly, although you are not obliged to do this. If at any time you are not satisfied with the manufacturers remedy in relation to your legal rights, you can contact your nearest Officeworks store. Officeworks may also return the product to the manufacturer to determine the nature of the problem.
