Returns Policy

At a glance:

  • If you have selected the wrong product/size for you, or want to exchange/return for any reason except for warranty or our error, this is referred to as a 'change of mind' return.
  • Not all products are eligible for change of mind returns (click here for excluded products). Final Clearance products are not eligible for change of mind returns.
  • Once you submit a Return Request, we will provide returns instructions via email (along with a prepaid return label if applicable), please wait to receive this before returning any items (Try 2 Anything excluded)
  • Change of mind returns can be resolved by your choice of exchange, full store credit, or a refund. Refunds are subject to a $19.95 admin fee.

CHANGE OF MIND RETURNS

If your item was purchased in error, or you've simply changed your mind, Wildfire Sports & Trek offers a number of returns options. Just contact us within 90 days of your order by filling out the form here. We will endeavour to respond to your request within 2 business days with instructions for returning your item or a request for further information if required.

The item must be returned in original, re-saleable condition with all packaging intact. The item must be securely packed to ensure it is received back with us in original and re-saleable condition. If the item's packaging is written on with marker, covered with labels and tape, or otherwise avoidably damaged, a $10 repackaging fee may apply or your return may be rejected if the packaging is not salvageable. Please include your original invoice with your return.

We will email you an Auspost prepaid return label which can be used at any post office. The item must be returned within 14 days of the label being sent to you.

Free return postage only applies to customers in Australia or New Zealand using our provided Auspost labels; we will NOT refund any postage fees you have paid yourself. Items under $100 are not eligible for free return postage. Fair Use Policy applies*.

Items which cannot be returned for change of mind:

  • Items not in original, re-saleable condition or without provided tags/packaging.

  • In-ear headphones, undergarments and masks may not be returned once the packaging is opened for hygiene reasons.

WARRANTIES

If you believe that your product has arrived faulty or developed a fault within the warranty period, simply fill out the form here. We will endeavour to contact you within 2 business days to talk you through the process of the warranty claim.

If you contact us about the fault within 90 days of receiving the item, we will send you a pre-paid return label for returning the faulty item. This is only eligible for Australian and New Zealand customers and only with our provided Auspost labels; we will NOT refund any postage fees if you send products without our prepaid labels. 

Depending on the manufacturer, nature of fault and time of year, warranty claims can take 1-4 weeks to resolve. We will advise you at the time the fastest way to process your warranty.

If the item returned is found not to be faulty, we will charge a reshipping fee of $9.95 to return the product to you. To avoid this, please follow all troubleshooting we send you and read the product manual carefully before posting. Many problems with electronics can be resolved via our email support without need for return.

Any free items included in your order are eligible to be replaced only if faulty on arrival, they are not eligible for change of mind returns or regular warranties.
