FAULTY GOODS

If you have received a damaged or faulty product, we are happy to fix it up for you as quickly as possible. Please contact our Customer Service Team online on sales@creativecostumes.com.au, take photos of the faulty item, so we can send you a replacement item right away and make arrangements to get the faulty product back to us.

However, if you go ahead and use, alter or in any way manipulate the product even though it is faulty, you are then accepting that the product is ‘fit for the purpose’ that you purchased it for, and it is no longer returnable. So, please DO NOT USE a product if it is faulty as we will not be able to return it to the manufacturer on your behalf, and therefore will not be able to accept a return of the product.

There can be instances where a product might have a minor issue that has occurred during the manufacturing process that is easily repaired and therefore not considered a fault. Minor issues include, but are not limited to:

  • Small sections of fabric with missed stitching.
  • Loose threads that can be trimmed or fed back through to the inside of the product.
  • Loose buttons that can be restitched.
  • Raw fabric edges that display slight fraying or small fabric runs.
  • Slightly misaligned zips that don’t match seam lines.
  • Small embellishments that have fallen off, that can be glued back on.
  • Wigs that require additional styling to look like the product photos. (Wigs will not look picture perfect straight out of the packaging).

If you would like to visit the warehouse in Oakleigh VIC we will happily fix these small issues for you.

Refunds

If for any reason you are not happy, simply return your item/s to us within 14 days, unused and unworn and in the original undamaged packaging and we will refund your money, no questions asked. If you would like to discuss your return prior to sending it back, please contact us either by email sales@creativecostumes.com.au, au or by telephone on 03 95336393.

Posting Your Return Parcel

Customers are responsible for any charges incurred when returning items/orders.

We do not recommend marking any parcels with ‘Return to Sender’. Although this may seem like an easy option, the delivery time for ‘Return to Sender’ parcels can be up to 6 weeks and incurs a shipping of $12.99 which would be deducted from any refund.  This will significantly delay the processing of any refund or exchange.

Please package your return parcels properly and in a way that they won’t get damaged. If your return parcel gets damaged in transit due to being incorrectly packaged, we may not be able to refund you.

Product Packaging

Upon receiving your item/s, If you think you may be returning the costume do not throw away any product packaging. This includes any outer packaging ie. plastic sleeves, covers etc plus anything else that forms a part of identifying the item such as tags and card inserts. 

All the packaging forms part of the product as a whole, as it has been sold to you. If a product is returned without a piece of packaging, it means the item (as it’s intended purpose) is incomplete. The packaging is extremely important as it is used in our warehouse to identify the products. Without the packaging we cannot store the product in the warehouse, nor can we re-sell it as a genuine product.

If returning any products for refund or exchange – ALL packaging MUST be included in your return, in an undamaged, original condition.

Lost or Cancelled Cards

If your VISA, Mastercard or debit card has been lost or cancelled and you are expecting a refund, please note that we can only issue refunds as a reversal of the original transaction. If you find yourself in this situation, it is up to you as the customer to contact your bank or financial institution and organise any potential incoming funds to your lost card/account be linked to and transferred via your bank to your new account. We cannot be held responsible for any lost funds issued for the means of a refund in these instances.

Due to Australian law, we are not able to issue refunds in any other way.
