Changing your Order

We do not provide refunds for a change of mind, or the product is not to your liking. We may be able to facilitate changes to orders if we have the stock in hand, and we have notification prior to shipping.  You should contact us immediately by phone 1300 22 3228 or email: sales@easterly.com.au.  Cancelling orders of bulky goods such as furniture and special orders will incur a minimum 20% cost of the cancelled order.

While we will make all best efforts to ensure your products arrive within a reasonable time, we are not liable for delays outside our control for example, delays due to weather, holiday/seasonal delays, customs issues, industrial action, acts of God etc.

Timber Disclaimer

Each piece of timber is unique, which is why our products are special. We do not refund on timber colour differences.  This means that the colouring and look of timber products will vary.  There will be variations in colour, grain, knots and the use of plugs. In some larger products, such as recycled tables, where there is a knot or hole in the timber, the hole will be filled with a plug.  These are fitted and sanded to create as seamless appearance as possible.  You should expect that there will be plugs when you purchase recycled timber products.

We guarantee your product will be made of the type of timber chosen by you.  We cannot guarantee how the timber will ‘look’.  This is the beauty and nature of timber products, especially recycled products.  Variations and imperfections are not flaws, they are what makes the product unique.  Every single tree is different, even when of the same species and even when the same species are grown in the same place.

Timber is a natural living and breathing product which absorbs moisture and heat depending upon the environment that it is.  Thus, small cracks may appear if there is a quick change in the environment (such as the temperature or exposure to rain and sunlight).  This is a normal reaction and is to be expected in the circumstances.   Timber products should never be exposed to extreme heat or cold, i.e., a table should not be beside a fire or heater, nor placed under an air conditioner.

Refund Policy

Customers must follow the process set out below.  Unauthorised goods returned to us may incur additional fees.  

Easterly provides the guarantees as stated in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (“the Consumer Law”).  Refund and return requests should be made instore or in writing to sales@easterly.com.au.  Please provide detailed information in your request including:

  • an explanation of the issue;
  • the circumstances in which the issue arose including the date;
  • the resolution that you seek; and
  • photographs or other supporting information.

We will assess your request in accordance with the legal requirements and respond within seven days to notify you of the next steps.   If there is a minor problem with your product we may:

  • fix the problem free of charge;
  • offer you a replacement product; or
  • offer you a refund.

If there is a major problem with the product you are entitled to a refund or a replacement product.  Replacement products are limited to a product that is identical to the product originally purchased.  Examples of situations where we may provide a refund include:

  • when the product is unsafe,
  • the product is significantly different to the description,
  • we sent you the incorrect product,
  • the product is not fit for the purpose,
  • the product lead time is not to your liking.  

We will not provide refunds where:

  • damage occurs due to not following the care instructions;
  • you change your mind;
  • you find the same product sold elsewhere cheaper; or
  • where the issue relates to a natural feature of the timber as set out in the timber disclaimer.

Where we authorise your return, we will provide you with the details for our courier company to arrange for the return of the goods.
