Refunds & Disputes Policy

Last Updated: [29/06/2026]

  1. Overview

Aussie Shed is a marketplace that connects buyers with independent Australian makers and creators.

As products and services are provided by independent sellers, refund eligibility may vary depending on the nature of the item purchased and the circumstances of the order.

This policy outlines how refunds, cancellations and disputes are handled through the marketplace.

  1. Change of Mind

Unless required by Australian Consumer Law, sellers are not required to provide refunds for:

Change of mind purchases Incorrect selections made by the buyer Delays caused by buyer responses or approvals Custom products ordered according to buyer specifications

Buyers should review listings carefully before placing an order.

  1. Custom & Made-To-Order Products

Many products and services offered on Aussie Shed are handmade, custom-made or made-to-order.

Because these items are often created specifically for an individual customer, refunds may not be available where:

Production has commenced Materials have been purchased Work has been completed The item was produced according to the buyer's specifications

Buyers are encouraged to communicate clearly with makers before placing custom orders.

Is faulty Is not fit for its intended purpose Does not match the description provided Does not meet consumer guarantees required by law

Where Australian Consumer Law applies, sellers are responsible for providing the appropriate remedy.
