Refund policy

Returns and Refunds

Please choose carefully as we do not allow change-of-mind returns. Goods are non-refundable unless faulty or your refund request is approved by the Shop Manager. Exchange or refund requests are to be made within fourteen (14) days of delivery, with proof of purchase. No exchange is available on earrings.

To be eligible to return your item(s), you must first contact the Museum Shop and arrange approval for your item(s) to be returned via post with a copy of your proof of purchase.

We cannot exchange or refund items that were purchased on sale. Returns cannot be made in store. Please see Returns Procedure for further details.

Items returned without approval may be rejected, in which case return postage costs will be the responsibility of the customer. If you are shipping an item back to us, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We can’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item(s). The Museum Shop cannot be held responsible for goods lost in the post.

Where items are faulty, have been incorrectly described, or are not fit for intended purpose, you can choose between a refund, exchange or shop credit note. Faulty merchandise returned within 14 days of delivery will be replaced where possible, if not a full refund will be given. Please always retain your receipt for proof of purchase.

Our Returns Policy applies to all online and in store sales.

Exchanges & Refunds

Once your returned item(s) are received and inspected, we will notify you via email of the approval or rejection of your exchange/refund.

If your exchange request is approved, this will be processed, and a new item will be posted out to you. Postage fees still apply to all exchanged items unless the item was faulty.

If your refund request is approved, this will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original payment method (please allow five (5) working days for this to be processed).

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received your refund within the processing period, first check your bank account.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund, please contact us on: shop@samuseum.sa.gov.au Phone 08 8273 9100
