The Policy at a Glance

Seven calendar days to start an eligible change of mind return

Contact Luxury Reborn within seven calendar days after carrier-recorded delivery. This is the deadline to start the request, not the deadline for the parcel to reach us. The item must be eligible, remain in the same condition and be returned with everything that was supplied.

  • Start the request within seven calendar days after carrier-recorded delivery.
  • Wait for approval and the correct return instructions.
  • Dispatch the authorised return by the deadline stated in those written instructions.
  • Keep all supplied packaging and inclusions, and any Luxury Reborn tag or seal where supplied, intact.
  • Pack the item securely and use the instructed shipping method.
  • The item is inspected before an approved refund is initiated.

Excluded from change of mind returns: watches, jewellery, shoes, ready-to-wear and items sold at a reduced price. Eligible full-price bags, wallets and selected accessories may qualify. These exclusions do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. See the Terms and Conditions for the complete policy.

How to Start

A clear four-step return process

Do not post an item back without authorisation. Contacting us first protects the item and makes sure it reaches the correct return location.

Contact us

Provide your order number, the item and whether the request is change of mind, delivery damage, authenticity or a specific listing concern.

Receive instructions

We confirm the assessment or return pathway, address, packaging, shipping method, dispatch deadline and any estimated costs that could apply.

Return as instructed

By the stated dispatch deadline, send the complete item with all supplied accessories and packaging, and with any Luxury Reborn tag or seal still attached and unaltered where supplied.

Inspection & outcome

We match and inspect the returned item, explain the outcome in writing, then provide the repair, replacement, refund or other outcome required by law, or the applicable change of mind calculation.

Return Eligibility

Change-of-mind return condition

These condition requirements apply only to change of mind returns. They do not remove your legal rights if there is a genuine problem with the item.

Same condition

The item must not be worn, used, altered, cleaned, repaired, resized or damaged after delivery.

All inclusions

Return every supplied box, dust bag, card, receipt, strap, spare link, accessory and other listed inclusion.

Tags and seals

Any Luxury Reborn tag or seal must remain attached and unaltered where supplied.

Item changed after delivery: if inspection identifies buyer-caused wear, cleaning, fragrance, alteration, missing parts or damage, the change of mind return may be declined and the item returned to the buyer at their cost. Luxury Reborn may offer a partial-refund settlement in writing after inspection, but is not required to accept a damaged item under the change of mind policy.

Return transit damage: follow the authorised packing and return shipping cover instructions. We record the parcel and item on receipt, compare the evidence with dispatch records, and handle any carrier cover claim according to who arranged the shipment. Transit damage can make a change of mind return ineligible.

Review the exact product listing and the Terms and Conditions before purchase. The change of mind return exclusions do not apply where the law requires a different outcome.

Concerns Beyond Change of Mind

Authenticity, damage and not-as-described concerns

Reporting a concern starts an assessment. It does not by itself establish that an item failed a consumer guarantee or determine the return category or remedy. We may request information reasonably needed to understand the concern and inspect the returned item before confirming the outcome.

01

Authenticity concern

Do not use or alter the item. We match it to the archived listing and identifiers, then reassess it through Luxury Reborn’s process and an appropriate authentication service where needed.

02

Delivery damage

Keep the item, box, shipping label and all internal packaging. Photographs of the unopened parcel, packaging and damage help us assess the carrier record.

03

Not as described

Identify the exact difference, when it was first noticed and how it differs from the written listing or photographs of the actual item.

04

Pre-owned wear or scent

Do not wear, clean, fragrance, repair or alter the item. Fine marks and odour are assessed in context rather than accepted or rejected automatically.

Evidence reviewed

What we compare

The returned item is compared with the archived listing, exact-item photographs, condition report, identifiers, inclusions and dispatch records.

Pre-owned context

How condition is considered

Age, price, grade, materials and disclosed wear are considered with the complete item, archived listing and other available evidence. This page does not predetermine the legal classification of a concern or the remedy that may apply.

Written outcome

What happens after assessment

A confirmed consumer-guarantee failure receives the remedy required by law without change of mind deductions. If no failure is found, we explain why and identify any remaining change of mind return option.

Buyer-caused damage is considered separately. Damage after delivery that is unrelated to the item's condition when supplied may affect the right to reject the goods, but it does not erase another consumer-guarantee issue that is independently established. Damage caused by an original defect or delivery problem is not treated as buyer-caused damage.

Assessment costs are disclosed first. Before arranging collection, Luxury Reborn identifies any reasonable collection, inspection or authentication service cost that could apply if no problem is found.

Good-faith concerns are welcome. A concern is not treated as wrongdoing merely because it is not confirmed.

Refunds & Payment Plans

What is deducted from an approved refund

Your refund starts with what you paid for the item. The deductions depend on whether you cancel before dispatch or return an eligible item after delivery. We itemise every deduction and include each actual cost only once.

Applies only to an approved buyer cancellation or change of mind return

Before carrier acceptance

Cancellation before dispatch

AUD $25fixed cancellation administration

  • One fixed AUD $25 cancellation administration charge is deducted from the amount paid.
  • If your payment provider keeps its original processing fee, only that exact amount is deducted. Luxury Reborn does not retain it. Direct bank transfer has no processing deduction.
  • If Luxury Reborn cancels or cannot fulfil the order, the amount paid is refunded in full with no buyer cancellation charge.

After carrier acceptance

Approved return after delivery

AUD $50standard-purchase handling and reinspection

  • For a standard purchase, the fixed AUD $50 handling and reinspection charge is deducted.
  • For an LR Payment Plan item, that charge is the lesser of AUD $100 or 5% of the item’s price. It replaces the standard charge and is not combined with a pre-delivery termination charge.
  • The parcel must not be redirected after dispatch.
  • The item must first be delivered, remain eligible and follow the authorised return process.
  • The buyer bears the actual cost of delivering the item to them and the authorised return delivery cost and any eligible cover specified in the return instructions.
  • Optional shipping cover is not refunded once the covered delivery to the buyer has been completed.
  • If Luxury Reborn pays for the return label, its actual cost is deducted. If the buyer pays the carrier directly, it is not deducted again.
  • If the payment provider keeps its original processing fee, only that exact amount is deducted. Luxury Reborn does not retain it. Direct bank transfer has no processing deduction.
  • Applicable actual costs below are added only when they are incurred.

Post-Dispatch Cost Schedule

Actual costs added only when incurred

Original delivery to you
The actual delivery cost paid by Luxury Reborn. Included Australian delivery does not include optional shipping cover.
Optional shipping cover
A separately purchased shipping cover fee is not refunded once the covered delivery to you has been completed.
Return delivery
The actual authorised return label and eligible cover cost only when Luxury Reborn supplies or pays for it. There is no second charge when the buyer pays the carrier directly.
Payment processing
Some card and other payment services keep their original processing charge when a transaction is refunded. Only the exact amount the service does not return to Luxury Reborn is deducted. Luxury Reborn does not retain that amount. Direct bank transfer has no payment processing deduction.
Return specific authentication reassessment
The actual invoice only when a new assessment by an authentication service is reasonably required and performed after the item left Luxury Reborn custody. The original authentication before sale is not charged again.

Refund destination and timing

An approved refund is initiated through the original payment method where available, or another agreed monetary method, after the authorised return is received and inspected. PayPal refunds are issued through the original PayPal transaction. Afterpay and Klarna refunds are sent through the original provider, which updates the schedule or returns funds under its rules. Continue scheduled payments until the relevant provider confirms the adjustment.

Luxury Reborn Payment Plan

Buyer cancellation before delivery uses the capped termination charge in the Payment Plan terms. After delivery, an eligible change of mind return uses one handling and reinspection charge calculated in the same way: the lesser of AUD $100 or 5% of that item’s price. The standard AUD $50 charge does not apply to a Payment Plan item, and the pre-delivery and post-delivery charges are never combined.

No duplicate or estimated mark-ups. An actual cost is included only once, only when incurred and only when it applies to the approved return. These conditions apply prospectively to orders placed after publication.

Returns in Australia

Returns and buyer-protection FAQs

What is the Luxury Reborn return period?

For an eligible change of mind purchase, contact Luxury Reborn and start the return request within seven calendar days after carrier-recorded delivery. The item does not need to reach Luxury Reborn within those seven days. After authorisation, dispatch it by the deadline and method stated in the written return instructions.

Which purchases are eligible for a change of mind return?

Eligible full-price bags, wallets and selected accessories may qualify. Watches, jewellery, shoes, ready-to-wear and items sold at a reduced price cannot be returned for change of mind. Eligible items must be returned in the condition received with all supplied packaging and inclusions, and with any Luxury Reborn tag or seal still attached and unaltered where supplied. These exclusions do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

How do I request a return?

Contact Luxury Reborn within the applicable request period with your order number and reason for return. Wait for authorisation, then dispatch the item by the deadline and method stated in the written return instructions.

Can I cancel a fully paid order before it is dispatched?

Luxury Reborn may approve a voluntary buyer cancellation before the carrier accepts the parcel. The refund is the amount paid less the fixed AUD $25 cancellation administration charge. Some card and other payment services keep their original processing charge when a transaction is refunded. If that occurs, only the exact amount the service does not return to Luxury Reborn is also deducted. Luxury Reborn does not retain that amount. Direct bank transfer has no payment processing deduction. Before carrier acceptance, no delivery to the buyer, return delivery, AUD $50 handling and reinspection or reassessment by an authentication service applies. LR Payment Plan cancellations follow their separate terms. If Luxury Reborn cancels or cannot fulfil the order, the amount paid is refunded in full and no buyer cancellation charge applies.

Can I send an item back without contacting Luxury Reborn?

No. Please do not send a return without authorisation. The correct return address, packaging requirements and shipping instructions are confirmed as part of the return request.

Do I need to return the box, dust bag, cards or other inclusions?

For a change of mind return, yes. Everything supplied with the purchase must be returned, including brand-issued inclusions, detachable straps, spare links and packaging. Any Luxury Reborn tag or seal supplied with the item must remain attached and unaltered. A missing box, tag or seal does not remove your legal rights if there is a genuine problem with the item.

Who pays for return shipping?

For an approved voluntary change of mind return, the buyer pays for the authorised return delivery service and any eligible cover specified in the return instructions. If Luxury Reborn supplies the label, its actual cost is deducted from the refund. Although Australian delivery is advertised as free at checkout, Luxury Reborn still pays the carrier; that actual cost of delivering the item to the buyer is deducted only from an approved voluntary change of mind refund. If an assessed consumer guarantee problem is confirmed, Luxury Reborn reimburses reasonable return costs as required by law.

What if the item is worn, altered or damaged after delivery?

A change of mind return must come back in the condition received. If inspection identifies buyer-caused wear, cleaning, alteration, missing parts or damage, the return may be declined and the item returned to the buyer at their cost. Luxury Reborn may instead offer a written partial-refund settlement, but is not required to do so. A separate reported product problem is still assessed on its facts and your legal rights are not affected.

What if a change of mind return is damaged in return transit?

The buyer must follow the supplied packing and return shipping cover instructions. Transit damage can make a change of mind return ineligible. Luxury Reborn records the parcel and item on receipt, then determines the next step and any carrier cover claim according to who arranged the shipment and the available packing and transit evidence.

When will my refund be processed?

Once the authorised return is received and inspected, an approved refund is initiated through the original payment method where available, or another agreed monetary method. Processing time after that depends on the bank or payment provider.

What is deducted from an approved change of mind refund?

An approved voluntary change of mind refund starts with the item amount paid. For a standard purchase, Luxury Reborn deducts the fixed AUD $50 handling and reinspection charge. For an LR Payment Plan item, that charge is the lesser of AUD $100 or 5% of the item’s price. Luxury Reborn also deducts the actual cost of delivering the item to the buyer, the actual return delivery cost if Luxury Reborn pays it and the actual invoiced cost of any reassessment by an authentication service that is reasonably required and performed after the item leaves Luxury Reborn custody. If the payment provider does not return its original processing fee, only that exact amount is deducted. Luxury Reborn does not retain that amount. Direct bank transfer has no payment processing deduction. Optional shipping cover is not refunded after the covered delivery to the buyer is completed. The calculation is itemised. These deductions apply only to an approved voluntary change of mind return and do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

How are PayPal, Afterpay or Klarna returns refunded?

A PayPal refund is issued through the original PayPal transaction. Afterpay or Klarna refunds are processed through the original provider, which updates the payment schedule or returns funds under its own rules. Continue any scheduled payments until the relevant provider confirms the change.

What if the parcel arrives damaged?

Contact Luxury Reborn promptly, keep all packaging and provide clear photographs of the parcel, label, packaging and item. This allows the delivery issue and appropriate next step to be assessed.

What if the item is materially different from its listing?

Contact Luxury Reborn promptly and identify the exact written detail or exact-item photograph that does not match. Photographs or video, where practical, help us assess the concern. Reporting a concern starts an assessment and does not by itself determine the return category or remedy.

What if I notice a small mark or an odour?

Pre-owned condition is assessed in context, including the item age, price, published grade, materials, written disclosures and exact-item photographs. A small overlooked mark is assessed with the complete item, listing and other available evidence; this page does not predetermine its legal classification or remedy. Scent can vary between people and environments, so smoke, musty or mould-related, fragrance, storage and material odours are assessed case by case. Do not clean, fragrance, wear or alter the item while the concern is reviewed.

Does choosing “not as described” make the return fee-free?

No return reason automatically determines the outcome. Luxury Reborn may inspect the item and compare it with the archived listing, photographs, condition report, identifiers and dispatch records. If a consumer-guarantee failure is established, the lawful remedy applies without change of mind deductions. If no failure is found, an eligible buyer may choose to continue under the published change of mind policy.

What if I have an authenticity concern?

Authenticity concerns follow the Luxury Reborn Authenticity Guarantee process. The returned item is matched to the original listing and reassessed, with an appropriate authentication service used where needed. If it is confirmed not authentic through a reasonable assessment, you may choose a full refund of all money paid for the item. Luxury Reborn will also reimburse reasonable return delivery costs. No change of mind deduction applies.

Can customers outside Melbourne request a return?

Yes. Eligible Australian orders can follow the authorised postal-return process. Contact Luxury Reborn first so the correct instructions are provided.

Can I exchange an item instead of receiving a refund?

Contact Luxury Reborn before returning the item. Available options depend on the approved return and current stock, because most pre-owned luxury pieces are unique.

Where can I read the complete returns terms?

The complete return conditions, exclusions and other applicable protections are set out in the Terms and Conditions.
