Returns

New Items:

Japanache will gladly refund money on any faulty/damaged new items if a replacement is not available. Goods must however, be returned to us at the purchasers expense unless otherwise agreed upon by us.

We may, but are not obliged to, offer an exchange voucher if you change your mind on new items only. Proof of purchase may be required on some items. Items must be returned within 14 days of the purchase date in the same condition as they were sold.

Beds:

We will gladly exchange a bed if it is the wrong size or colour with another bed. If you want to return a bed to us that has been used then we can exchange or give a credit voucher for the full price of the bed less 25% because we cannot sell that as new stock and will reduce our prices by up to 25%.

Futon:

We will exchange a futon if it is damaged or faulty and has not been used. If it has been used then we will try and repair it. We will not refund or exchange used futon because of the health issues involved

Antique & Used Items:

All antique or used items are sold on an "as is" basis and refunds or exchanges will only be given at our discretion. We endeavour to repair goods, or point out any major damage, prior to sale. Any omission in doing so does not infer liability.

All artwork is sold on an "as is" basis.

Vintage ceramics often have small marks, flaws and/or minor chips. It is up to the customer to inspect  goods in the store or ask staff for a verbal/written condition report if purchasing online or via the phone. Japanache will not be liable for any damage caused to any items once they have been delivered.

All furniture comes from an environment that has a higher humidity than most parts of Australia and it is important that the customer cares for their purchases on a regular basis. We provide a free bottle of Feed-N-Wax with all full-priced chests to care for your purchases.

We reserve the right not to exchange nor refund if you change your mind.

All returns may be subject to a 20% administration fee.

Delivery of goods

Courier

It is the onus of the customer to provide accurate instructions in relation to the delivery of goods. All items must be signed for unless an authority to leave has been given. All items which are signed for are said to be in good order/condition upon delivery. The customer must scrutinise any damage to the carton before signing. Insurance is voided once the item is signed for. Insurance is also voided once an authority to leave order has been given.

Any goods returned to Japanache because the consignee unattended the delivery address or because the given address was incorrect will be subject to a re-delivery fee and may also incur any further costs charged to Japanache (such as returning the package to our warehouse or storage).

Please note that the courier's may charge storage fees for items that are left longer than 7 days and they are only obliged to attempt re-delivery once. It is not the onus of the courier to contact consignees via telephone prior to delivery.

All couriers work to a timetable and should not be expected to deliver only when the consignee is available. Couriers generally only deliver on work days between 8am and 5pm.

Removalist

Goods carried by a professional removalist are not covered by insurance unless requested and paid for in advance. It is pretty expensive (min $400 for $25K cover)

The removalist will always attempt to phone prior to delivery to advise the consignee of the estimated time of delivery. This may change depending on their freight and any revision of their schedule.

A removalist may deliver any day during the week and at any reasonable hour. Interstate deliveries are not made on a regular basis and may take up to 4 weeks to be made.

Please remember that although your freight is important to the removalist, it is not the only freight that they carry and cannot always fit in with your busy schedule.
