Shipping & Returns — Australia
Delivery
Dispatch. We deliver within 1–5 working days after confirming your order.
Delivery time (estimate). Australia: 7–14 working days standard, 4–5 working days express.
For shipping fees and free-shipping thresholds, please see our [shipping policy](/pages/shipping-policy).
Customs and duties. Any import duties, GST or handling fees charged on arrival are your responsibility unless stated otherwise at checkout.
Oversized orders. Orders over 2 kg or involving large display pieces may incur additional shipping charges — we will contact you before dispatch, and you may cancel free of charge if you do not accept them.
Returns
Change of mind. If you simply change your mind, contact us at info@crystale.co or WhatsApp +852 9602 9647 within 30 days of delivery and we will refund the full item price to your original payment method within 14 days of receiving and inspecting the returned item. You arrange and pay for the return shipment yourself — please use a tracked service and package carefully; goods travel at your risk until they reach us. Items must be unworn, unused and in their original condition and packaging. Tags must still be attached and intact, with no signs of use — otherwise the refund will not be accepted. Personalised items (rings resized to a specified size at your request, custom orders) are not eligible.
Sale items. Items discounted by 50% or more are sold as Final Sale — they cannot be returned or exchanged for change of mind. Items discounted between 30% and 49% may be exchanged (not refunded) within the 30-day window, under the same conditions as full-price items. The applicable tier is the discount shown at the time of purchase; Final Sale items are clearly marked on the product page before checkout. These terms do not limit your consumer guarantee rights for faulty goods.
Gifts. If you received your item as a gift, you may exchange it within the same return window — please provide the order number when contacting us. Refunds are only issued to the original purchaser.
Damaged on arrival. If your item arrives damaged, contact us within 72 hours of delivery with photos of the item and its packaging. Where the damage is assessed as having occurred in transit or before delivery, we will provide a return label and issue a refund once the item is received and inspected. Damage reported after 72 hours, or assessed as wear and tear, accident or improper care, is not eligible for refund under this section. These terms do not limit your consumer guarantee rights for faulty goods.
Faulty goods — your consumer guarantee rights. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. If goods fail to be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, or match their description:
- Major failure (e.g. item is substantially unfit, unsafe, or not as described): you may choose a replacement or a full refund.
- Minor failure: we will repair or replace within a reasonable time. We cover all return shipping for guarantee claims. Please inspect your goods on arrival and report any problem promptly. Natural variations in colour, veining and inclusions are characteristics of genuine crystal and are not faults; damage from wear and tear, accidents or improper care is not covered.
Nothing in this policy limits those rights. To make a guarantee claim, contact us with your order number and a description (photos help) of the problem.
Disputes. In the event of any dispute, CRYSTALE reserves the right to make the final decision.
Restringing service
The elastic cord in our bracelets naturally wears with use (typically around 6 months) — this is normal wear and tear, not a fault, and is not covered by any guarantee. We restring bracelets free of charge in our Hong Kong shop — contact us on WhatsApp to arrange a visit.
Legal basis: Australian Consumer Law (consumer guarantees cannot be excluded).
