Warranties – Australian Consumer Law
Many of our products come with a guarantee or warranty from the manufacturer. In addition, they come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Full details of your consumer rights may be found at www.consumerlaw.gov.au.
We are unable to review items via email or phone. All items must be physically returned either via mail or in person to be assessed. Please contact us for verification before returning your item or visiting any of our stores.

You may return new eligible items sold in-store or fulfilled online within 14 days of receipt.
Items should be returned with the original packaging and paperwork (such as certificates or watch instructions/warranty booklets).
Items can be taken to any Hoskings store.
If you choose to ship your order back to us rather than taking it to your local Hosking's store, you are responsible for any shipping and handling charges you might incur. The same 14 day period applies for refund or exchange, so please have the return package postmarked within the period based on the date we shipped the order to you.
