Returns, Refunds & Disputes Policy — Designerex

Last Updated: 20/11/2025
Easy & Transparent Return Process
All deliveries are insured, and you have 24 hours to report any transit damages.

📦 Responsibility for Garments

Once a garment is delivered to you, it becomes your responsibility until it is scanned and lodged for return.
❌ 🟥 If the garment is damaged, stained, altered, or mishandled while in your care, refunds cannot be issued.
Additional cleaning, repair or replacement fees may apply according to our Terms & Conditions.

📸 Return Process & Approval

A return or refund request will not be reviewed or approved unless you provide:

  • Clear, time-stamped photos of the garment
  • Evidence of the issue (e.g., unwearable condition, wrong item delivered)

📷 This allows our team to assess the garment’s condition before it is shipped back or collected.

🎟️ Eligibility for Refunds

Refunds may only be considered if:

  • The wrong item was shipped EG size, colour, type
  • The garment arrives unwearable through no fault of the renter
  • The lender fails to ship the garment
  • The listing was significantly inaccurate

Designerex will review all evidence and make a determination based on the platform’s Terms & Conditions.

❌ Non-Refundable Circumstances

Refunds cannot be provided for:

  • 🟥 Change of mind
  • 🟥 Incorrect size or poor fit
  • 🟥 Event cancellation
  • 🟥 Postal or courier delays
  • 🟥 Not being available to receive the parcel
  • 🟥 Issues resulting from selecting a slower shipping option
  • 🟥 Damage occurring after delivery (including ATL deliveries)

These conditions align with standard rental industry policies.

🧵 Wear, Damage & Alterations

❌ 🟥 Refunds cannot be issued if the garment shows signs of:

  • Wear or stretching
  • Stains or odours
  • Tearing, ripping, or water damage
  • Hemming or unauthorised alterations
  • Missing components or accessories

🧼 Fees may apply for cleaning, repair, or replacement if returned in unacceptable condition.

📦 Inspection Upon Delivery (VERY IMPORTANT)

When your garment arrives, please inspect it within 24 hours for transit damage or incorrect items.
🔥 🟥 Failure to report issues within 24 hours may void your eligibility for a refund, credit or replacement.
This timeframe is required so DesignerEx can lodge a courier insurance claim.

🛠 Inspection & Refund Processing

All garments returned as part of a refund or dispute claim must be:

  • Received and inspected by Designerex
  • Reviewed against the evidence provided
  • Approved before a refund or replacement is issued

Refunds typically take 3–10 business days to appear in your account after approval.

📮 Return Shipping

Return shipping will either be:

  • Included via a pre-paid satchel provided by the lender, OR
  • Paid by the renter (depending on the listing details)

Please lodge all returns over the counter at Australia Post and keep your receipt as proof.

⚠️ 24-Hour Transit Damage Reporting

If your garment arrives damaged due to shipping:

  • Report it to Designerex within 24 hours of delivery
  • Include photos and videos of the packaging and garment

Damage claims outside this timeframe may be declined due to courier insurance requirements.
