Change of Mind Policy

At Dobsons, we are happy to offer you a refund or exchange for change of mind on most full price and reduced merchandise.

  • Proof of purchase is accompanied with the returned merchandise;
  • The merchandise is unworn, unwashed, unused and in its original condition with all tags intact.

Our change of mind policy does not apply to the following merchandise:

  • Personalisation

Our Change of Mind Policy does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and you have consumer guarantees that cannot be limited by us.  If your product is not of acceptable quality, is different from its description or sample, then you may be eligible for a refund, exchange or any drop in value of the product (if you choose to keep it).

This policy applies to all purchases of Dobsons merchandise, including, but not limited to, all purchases made at our retail stores, uniform shops and through our catalogues and websites.

Payment

Upon receiving your order we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. Goods will not be dispatched until this pre-authorisation check has been completed. Your card will be debited once the order has been accepted.
