Return Shipping

WHOLESALE RETURNS POLICY

Change of Mind Returns

Wholesale orders are placed with the expectation that products are being purchased for resale, and as such, change-of-mind returns are generally not accepted.

However, as a courtesy, we offer the following:

  • Change-of-mind returns may be approved at our discretion within 7 days of receiving the order.
  • Approved returns will be issued as an exchange or store credit only.
  • A 15% restocking fee applies to all wholesale change-of-mind returns.
  • Products must be returned unopened, unused, and in re-saleable condition.

Shipping costs for change-of-mind returns are the responsibility of the customer, and original shipping charges are non-refundable.


Damaged or Faulty Goods

If you believe an item is faulty or has arrived damaged, please contact us as soon as possible so we can assess the issue.

Please email info@ninabailey.com.au with:

  • Photos of the product and packaging
  • A description of the issue
  • Your order number and business details
  • Proof of purchase

Once the issue is assessed:

  • If the product is confirmed to be faulty or damaged, we will arrange a replacement, repair, or refund.
  • If required, we will provide instructions for returning the item or may request that the goods be disposed of.
  • Return shipping costs will be covered only where a product issue is confirmed to be our responsibility.


Returns not accepted

The following cannot be returned:

  • Sale or clearance items (unless deemed faulty by us)
  • Testers
  • Products that have been opened, used, or altered.
  • Products damaged due to improper storage, handling, or conditions outside our control (e.g. heat exposure, moisture, or contamination).


Storage and Handling Responsibility

To ensure product quality, wholesalers are responsible for maintaining proper storage conditions once goods are delivered. Products affected by the following may not qualify for replacement, as these factors can compromise product integrity:

  • heat fluctuations
  • prolonged exposure to sunlight
  • humidity or moisture
  • poor storage environments

Wholesale customers must adhere to our storage guidelines below:

  • Store all Nina Bailey products below 25°C.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Do not leave products in cars or hot warehouses.
  • Keep away from humidity and extreme temperature changes.

*** Retailers are fully responsible for storage conditions after delivery.


Sale of expired stock

To ensure the quality and safety of our products, wholesale clients must not keep stock on their shelves for longer than 12 months. If wholesale clients exceed this timeframe products may no longer perform as intended, and we cannot accept returns or replacements for expired products.

We also reserve the right to instruct wholesale customers not to sell any stock that has exceeded its recommended shelf life. This is to ensure product quality, safety, and the reputation of Nina Bailey Australia. Wholesale customers must comply with these instructions and remove any expired products from sale immediately.

 

What we do not cover

  • Theft or loss: We are not responsible for stock that is stolen, lost, or damaged after delivery.
  • Improper storage or handling: Damage caused by heat, sunlight, humidity, freezing, or general mishandling is the client’s responsibility.
  • Slow sales: Returns will not be accepted due to overstock or lack of sales.
  • Indirect or consequential losses: We are not liable for lost profits, resale losses, or business interruptions.
  • Misuse of products: Damage caused by using products outside their intended purpose (e.g., improper burning, rebranding) is not covered.


Return Shipping

For change-of-mind returns or non-faulty products:

  • You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods.
  • We recommend tracked shipping and insurance for items over $75, as lost or damaged return parcels cannot be refunded.

For confirmed faulty or damaged goods:

  • Return shipping will be covered by us, or alternative arrangements will be made.

 

Processing Times

Once returned items are received and inspected:

  • Exchanges or credits will be processed within 5–10 business days.
  • Refunds (where applicable) will be processed through the original payment method unless otherwise arranged.
