Terms and Conditions

By agreeing to our terms and conditions and purchasing from our website https://comfysoleau.com/, you are agreeing to all terms, conditions and policies we have outlined below. Please take care when placing your order as we may be unable to accomodate for user errors. For further support, you can contact us by clicking here.

Refund policy

SECTION 1

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

We will always do our best to accommodate your needs, however, we highly recommend making yourself aware of our refund/return policy before placing an order with us. Failure to do so can result in no accommodations being made.

To be eligible for a replacement or refund we may require you to provide us with an image or video to demonstrate that the product is damaged or not working. This ensures all requests are genuine as we cannot manually check this in person.

All conditions outlined below follow The Australian Consumer Law Consumer rights & guarantees.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Refunds are only available if your product arrives faulty/damaged, not as described, or if it never arrives.

We cannot offer you a refund if you:

  • got what you asked for but simply changed your mind, ordered the wrong size, found it cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or had no use for it
  • misused a product in any way that caused the problem
  • knew of or were made aware of the faults before you bought the product
  • asked for a service to be done in a certain way against the advice of the business or were unclear about what you wanted.

You are not eligible for a refund if the item has been damaged after it has been used. If the item was received in good condition and as stated, any issues after are due to misuse by the customer.

You are not eligible for a refund if you have placed the order by mistake or purchased the wrong product, so please take care when at the checkout and ensure you have selected the right products.

Please use our products with care as they are delicate. If they come into contact with any other chemicals, liquids or substances it can result in damage to the product.

To start a return, please go through your customer account by clicking the link here: https://shopify.com/76744196369/account.

If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. You will have 7 days to post the item otherwise the return request will be closed and you will need to open another one. Please keep in mind that this timeframe cannot exceed 30 days.

After 30 days since delivery, you are no longer eligible for a return or refund. The items sent back must have registered tracking. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. 

You are required to cover the shipping cost of the return as well as a 10% restocking fee. These amounts will be deducted from the final refund total.

If the order contains Shipping Protection, this will also be deducted from the final refund amount.

SECTION 2 - Damages and issues 

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, or damaged or if you receive the wrong item so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

SECTION 3 - Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like custom products (such as special orders or personalised items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns, or offer refunds on gift cards, cushion heel pads or Shipping Protection.

SECTION 4 - Exchanges

If you have selected an incorrect size, we are more than happy to offer you an exchange.

This applies to footwear only. We are unable to exchange compression socks, heel pads, or regular socks for hygiene reasons.

To initiate the exchange process, please go through your customer account by clicking the link here: https://shopify.com/76744196369/account.

Once in the portal, please make sure to specify the size you require and provide a brief explanation for the exchange. Insufficient information will result in your request being declined. We value your feedback, and your reason for the exchange helps us enhance our products and services.

You are required to cover the shipping cost of the return.

We offer two options for handling this:

1. We can send you an invoice for the return postage cost. Once the invoice is settled, we will provide you with a return label for your convenience.

2. Alternatively, you can go directly to your local post office and purchase a return label. In this case, please ensure you retain the tracking information from the postage receipt. If you choose this option, we will provide you with a return address upon communication.

Once we receive confirmation that your shoes have been shipped back with tracking information, we will promptly process the exchange and send the new pair to you.

Please note that once you have received your exchanged item, we are unable to provide you with another exchange or refund. So ensure you check your chosen item and size carefully before re-ordering. Additional fees may apply.

 

SECTION 5 - Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, we will refund you the amount you paid, excluding any delivery charges and restocking fees. Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used when you made your original purchase. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

If you return a product purchased with a gift card or voucher, we will give you a store credit in the form of a gift card.

Shipping policy

We know you are excited to get your ComfySole products, we are too! That is why we do our best to ensure the delivery is done as fast as possible to ensure you get your items fast. We are also now offering free delivery on orders Australia and NZ-wide!

We ship with Australia Post, Fast Horse, Toll and Aramex, and as COVID-19 has made a large impact on their systems and ability to ship products effectively we are experiencing slightly longer delivery times. We are working hard with the people in our warehouses to get each order out as quickly as possible. For any inconvenience caused we apologise, this is something that will change in the near future.

We do our absolute best to process all our orders in 1-2 business days, this excludes weekends and public holidays. In very rare cases, this may be extended up to 5 business days.

For metro areas, you will typically receive your order within 14 business days, up to 21 if any unexpected delays occur.

Australia Post Update

We are currently experiencing issues regarding our Australia Post tracking numbers. Customers are receiving orders while the tracking still says pending or processing, as in our internal system, the tracking status is current and being regularly updated.

We have been notified by Australia Post that some parcels will only get scanned at certain points in the transit process, one being once it has been delivered. Australia Post has explained that this is nothing to be concerned about and that parcels will be delivered as normal.

However, we understand the inconvenience that this may cause. If you would like to be updated on your order's whereabouts, please email us at hello@comfysoleau.com or use our live chat. Please make the subject line "Order #AU.... Shipping Update" so that we can respond to you as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Shipping locations

We currently only ship to Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom. With your support, ComfySole will be able to expand and reach an even larger market.

Kindly note that if inaccurate or incomplete addresses are provided, or if there are unverified details with your order, it may delay processing by an additional 1-2 business days. We encourage all customers to thoroughly review their shipping and billing information prior to checking out to ensure any possible delays are avoided.

Your package may or may not require a signature. Most packages are delivered to the mailbox or front door of the address provided, however, it is up to the delivery courier to decide if the package is safe being left in the open. If they deem it unsafe, they will hold the package at a local post office or re-schedule another delivery. Our best recommendation is to input a shipping address where you know you or someone else will be available to accept the package (a work address or a friend's address).

Toll

Toll Tracking 

You will receive a confirmation email once your order has been processed to the email address provided at the time of checkout, which can take up to 48 hours. You will receive a second email once your order has been shipped, which will include your tracking number and a link to follow the journey of your package. If there is a problem with your tracking number or package delivery, please contact the courier directly prior to contacting us. Please allow 1 - 4 days for the tracking information to show. In some rare cases, the tracking information may not update but you will still receive your order. Please contact us after the estimated delivery time. 

Multiple products 

Please note that if you place an order with multiple products, they may be shipped separately. This is because we store different levels of inventory in multiple ComfySole warehouses.

If this occurs for your order, you will receive multiple tracking numbers to view their whereabouts. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

Wrong address disclaimer

It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that she or he enters the shipping address correctly. We do our best to speed up processing and shipping times, hence there is a very small time gap to cancel/change your order or to change the address of your order. If you decide to change your shipping address, please contact us using our live chat as soon as you place your order. We will do our best to make the change, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, as there are varying time limits in which we are able to do so.

If it's too late for our team to make changes to your order, we are only able to wait and see if the package gets returned back to us. If it does get returned back to our warehouse, we can then ship it to the correct address.

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.
