All returns are sent at the customer’s risk. We strongly recommend tracked shipping. Salty Shreds is not liable for items lost in transit when being returned.

Orders made in error are subject to a $19.95 AUD administration fee.


Unclaimed & Returned Orders

Local Pickup Orders

Local pickup orders must be collected within 30 days of notification.

Uncollected orders will be held for a maximum of 90 days from the ready-for-collection date.

If an order remains uncollected after this period and reasonable attempts to contact the customer have been made, it will be treated as abandoned goods.

Salty Shreds reserves the right to cancel, restock, or dispose of abandoned goods.


Returned to Sender – Domestic

If a parcel is returned due to:

  • Incorrect address supplied

  • Failure to collect

  • Delivery refusal

It will be held for up to 90 days from the date received back.

Re-shipping will only occur once shipping costs have been paid.

If no response or payment is received within 90 days following reasonable contact attempts, the goods will be considered abandoned.

Salty Shreds reserves the right to restock, cancel, or dispose of abandoned goods.


Returned to Sender – International

International parcels returned due to:

  • Incorrect or incomplete address

  • Failure to collect

  • Unpaid customs duties or taxes

Will be held for 30 days from the date received back.

To have the parcel resent, the customer must pay:

  • All re-shipping costs

  • A $20 AUD Returned to Sender processing fee

This processing fee covers courier charges incurred when international parcels are returned to us.

If payment is not received within 30 days following reasonable contact attempts, the goods will be considered abandoned.

Salty Shreds reserves the right to restock, cancel, or dispose of abandoned goods.


Customs & Duties

Customers are responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs charges imposed by their country.

Salty Shreds complies with international shipping regulations and will not:

  • Undervalue items

  • Mark orders as gifts

  • Alter customs documentation

Failure to pay customs fees that results in return will fall under the International Returned to Sender policy above.


Faulty or Incorrect Items

Change-of-mind returns are separate from your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

If you believe your item is faulty, not as described, or does not meet consumer guarantees, please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order so we can assess the issue promptly.

Items that have been worn, washed, misused, or damaged due to incorrect care may not be eligible for remedy.


Consumer Guarantees (Australian Consumer Law)

Our goods and services 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 also 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.

Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or modifies your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.


Skateboards & Balance Boards

Boards must be returned within 14 days if approved and must be in original, unused condition.

No returns will be accepted once ridden.

Minor cosmetic variations are expected due to the handmade nature of boards.

Salty Shreds is not liable for injury resulting from misuse. Protective gear and supervision are strongly recommended.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law still apply where relevant.
