Warranty Return Policy

Updated: 01/07/2022

No longer accepting change of mind returns until further notice
Due to current unprecedented circumstances and individuals bulk buying for the purpose of reselling at profit, and uninformed panic buying, as per the same policy being engaged by major supermarkets, we will unfortunately not offer change of mind refunds and returns under any circumstances, in complete compliance of Australian Consumer Law.


We do not give refunds or exchanges on both opened/unopened items if you:

• simply change your mind; or
• purchased the wrong product; or
• already knew of a particular fault in a product, or we specifically advised you of a particular fault in a product; or
• damage a product after purchase due to alterations to the product not performed by us, damage the product due to unusual or non-recommended use of the product or damage the product where the damage is caused by any factors beyond our control; or 
• no proof of purchase is provided.


Goods Returning For Credit/Refund

If a product is faulty, does not match the description or is unfit for its intended purpose a refund may be available upon request.
However SKYCOMP reserves the right to confirm the unsuitability of the product before a refund is issued.

Under ACCC guidelines for refunds of goods under warranty claims - specifically the ACCC quotes as follows on their web site :

"If the goods being returned have had a fair amount of use then you may be entitled to a partial refund only or to repair the product instead"

Defective items within the DOA period of 7 days, take 2-5 business days for us to process and ship the replacement item to you.
Defective items returned for warranty after the DOA period generally take 2-8 weeks to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
Please also note that incompatibility is NOT a fault. We cannot ensure what you purchased is compatible with what you have existing.
