At AFS, we take quality and customer satisfaction seriously. If your product arrives damaged or faulty, we will:

We recommend that you notify us as soon as possible after receiving the product, ideally within 30 days, to facilitate a timely resolution. However, please note that your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not limited by any time period mentioned here. You have a reasonable time to discover and report faults, which may extend beyond 30 days depending on the nature of the product and the defect. Please provide photos of the damage for verification when possible.
