Terms & Conditions of Contract to Purchase

Australian Customers

Due to coronavirus changes in processes from couriers etc. and on top of this, the current issues with the Ports & Industrial Action, We can not and do not guarantee delivery dates. These processes are still in place and have not changed.

In Addition, all couriers are experiencing delays due to the volumes of freight during this current global situation and increased volumes both in and out of our warehouse locations. For purchases of products on backorder, you need to check the product page for updates on ETA’s as these may change.

Please Note that During Easter, November, December and January Deliveries may be slower than usual to and from us due to local courier delays and warehouse closures over this period. We can not and do not guarantee delivery dates.

Our policy is that we do not make profit from delivery charges!

We only charge the lowest cost freight we have been able to negotiate with our couriers which is based on highly competitive rates.

ALL Freight is insured to reduce an risk of loss or damage and this is included in the costs (terms and conditions apply).Delivery Man

We proudly work by a highly streamlined dispatch process, with most items being dispatched either same day or within 24 hours of payment being received.

All items are sent via Australia Post eParcel service or Aramex (previously known as Fastway Courier’s), except items of a larger weight and/or dimension which are sent via different courier service shown to you at the checkout. We have partnered with eParcel (the corporate division of Australia Post) as well as several of Australia’s largest and most trusted courier companies to offer you prompt and safe shipping right around Australia and Aramex who are a cost effective, reliable, timetabled courier service, backed up by the latest innovative technology and real-time track and trace facilities.

We are able to deliver your items to your home, work or P.O. box address Australia wide, this includes all properly addressed rural and remote areas of our great country. P.O. Boxes are only available if you select the Australia Post Delivery option. We do NOT deliver to Parcel Lockers / Pacel Collect unless you pay via Paypal or Zip and choose Australia Post as your courier service on your order.

For larger items which need to be sent via courier, a street address is mandatory, however you will be notified if this is the case with the items you have purchased.

It is YOUR responsibility to be at the address that you provide to accept your delivery in person.  If you are unable to be there in person, you need to contact the courier using your tracking information and make another arrangement in advance such as changing the date in advance or have someone else there to accept the goods. If you are not there, the courier may leave them and there will be no transit insurance at all and all risk is transferred to you.

All deliveries are not able to be left. Do not give the courier company Authority to leave unless you are happy to accept that there is no transit insurance and all risk is transferred to you. You must ensure someone is at the premises to accept the goods. If you instruct the courier to leave OR no one is at the premises on the day of delivery – there is no transit insurance or liability in regards to the delivery as this is a breach of contract and a requirement of our payment processors including paypal as well as transit insurance.

You are shown the address provided to us at the order confirmation screen and it is emailed to you.  You must Ensure your delivery address is correct. If you have made an error and advise us before it is dispatched, we will change it for you if possible. If the item is dispatched to the incorrect address provided to us or it is not deliverable to the address you provided to us, then we may be charged return to sender fee’s as well as freight to return it to us.  If this happens, you agree to pay those costs plus the cost to resend it to the correct address. In most cases, if we are unable to change the address for you, you will be able to change the address with the courier directly once you receive the tracking email.

Out of Stock Items

If an item such as Nursery Furniture is out of stock at both Us and the Manufacturer or it is a build to order product, it will be placed on backorder with both us and the Manufacturer(if Applicable). We will attempt to make contact by phone. If we can not make contact with you because the incorrect phone number has been given or there is no answer, you must contact us. You can contact us by phone or by email using the details on the Contact Us page. Please make sure that you provide your correct phone number when you place your order with us. If items such as furniture is out of stock both at our warehouse and the manufacturer(which is unusual), ETA’s can be up to 12 weeks, to check the ETA of a product, please call, email, use our online chat facility or use our customer service help desk and we will gladly let you know quickly prior to placing your order. If an item is marked “On Back Order”  We do not and can not guarantee dates at all – we can only give an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). We do not refund due to delivery delays.

If an order has multiple items and one is on backorder, your order will not ship until all items have arrived. If you wish to part ship your order, you can contact us and pay the difference in shipping and it will be shipped separately.

All Customers

Please note that we cannot accept responsibility for delays in delivery due to unforeseen circumstances nor do we refund if a courier delivers late. Express Post is not guaranteed overnight by Australia Post or ourselves.  It is sent by Air versus road and is generally overnight from date of dispatch as long as you are in an Express Post Post code. We do not refund if an item does not get to you overnight and nor does Australia post any longer.

Our products are Not For Resale.

We can not apply discount or coupon codes to an order after it has been placed. coupon / discount codes must be applied before the checkout and will be shown on your checkout before placing the order.

Transit insurance.

Due to the coronavirus changes in processes and no physical signatures required – you must check the goods before accepting them – if they are damaged – refuse the delivery or transit insurance will not cover it.

If the product has been damaged during transit – do not accept the delivery when you receive your product without checking the product. When you accept them, you are agreeing that you checked the goods and they are in good condition and working order. Always check that they are in good working order and there is no damage before accepting them. If you suspect damage, you must add a comment that they are damaged when you accept the goods so that we can invoke our transit insurance policy on your behalf. In the event that goods have been damaged in transit, you must make a note on the consignment note or refuse the delivery, advise us immediately via our help desk, do not dispose of original packaging if you accepted it, send the photo’s of the damage to us straight away so that the process can be started fast for you. Freight costs are not covered by transit insurance.  Claims for missing or damaged items must be made in writing via our online help desk upon checking your delivery as soon as reasonably possible. Items purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon pick up from us by the courier. If you give the courier authority to leave, then you have chosen to take all risk and there is no transit insurance.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any delay in performing any of its obligations if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of us, and we shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of such obligations.

Returns Policy

Providing you have a receipt, We may offer you a repair, exchange or refund if the products you purchased:

  1. Have a fault that could not have known about at the time of purchase and it is established it was not caused after the sale
  2. Are not the same as the description provided by the salesperson or advertisement.
  3. Are significantly different to the description or sample shown at the time of purchase.

If you have received a product that has a fault immediately out of the box, please keep the box so that it can be returned easily – we do not pay for replacement packaging.

Please note that it may be necessary for us to return the goods to the manufacturer for testing in order to determine whether or not you are entitled to a repair, exchange or refund. Please allow 1-2 weeks for return and testing to take place.

Please NOTE: As we are a baby store, we understand that our customers want the best for their baby / child and only want brand new products that have never been used or opened and are straight from the manufacturer. For this reason and to protect your health and safety and the health and safety of others, we do not refund or exchange for “change of mind or making an incorrect choice” purchases. Our staff are unable to break this policy due to our guarantee’s we make that all items are brand new and never used and straight from the manufacturer. This is especially the case with the current Covid Situation.

Illustrations

The images, pictures, and illustrations found on this site are for illustration purposes only, and do not necessarily represent the exact products, services, or ideas in the context they are found in. It is the buyer’s responsibility prior to purchase to clarify with the seller.

Colours

Despite every effort to accurately duplicate each product’s color when scanned to our website or provided by the manufacturer in most cases, actual colors may vary. This can be due to monitor and/or video card differences. As most baby furniture is stained to show the natural timber look and not painted, slight colour variations might occur between different batches. These run to run variations are common to the manufacturing process, and within industry tolerances. They are not defects. Due to these variations we recommend that when identical products and colors are to used as a set(eg. a cot and a change table), that they all be ordered at the same time. We cannot be responsible for variances in these circumstances.

Timber Products

When opening timber products such as furniture, like all new products that have been carefully wrapped in protective packaging, naturally occurring gases may accumulate. What you may smell is a build-up of gas dissipating. This is a naturally occurring process and is safe. For those extra acutely aware of smell, you may also smell the residue of fumigation. Manufacturer’s are required to fumigate all furniture products by Australian law and these services are highly regulated for safety by the Australian Government.

All of the cots are low VOC, So there is nothing toxic in the cots or the paint that is dangerous. The smell can be the result of fumigation, which is a mandatory requirement of the Australian Government who select the product for fumigation and the fumigation service suppliers to ensure they are suitable. All timber products imported into Australia undertake the same fumigation. The smell will dissipate with time and airing of the room. We are assured that they are safe for use by the Australian Customs Authority.
