This Returns and Refunds Policy explains how returns, refunds, exchanges, replacements, and product concerns are handled for purchases made from GRI Group Pty Ltd. Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict, or limit any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Australian consumer protection laws.

When a Return May Be Approved

A return request may be considered where a container or other product:

  • Has a significant defect or damage that was not disclosed before purchase.
  • Is materially different from the description, specifications, condition, or configuration agreed at the time of sale.
  • Was supplied incorrectly.
  • Does not correspond with the agreed order or invoice.
  • Is otherwise eligible for return under the applicable purchase terms or Australian consumer law.

Customers should contact GRI Group Pty Ltd as soon as reasonably possible after identifying a problem so that the matter can be assessed and an appropriate solution arranged. Where Australian Consumer Law provides a consumer guarantee, the available remedy will depend on the nature and circumstances of the issue and the applicable legal requirements.

Change-of-Mind Returns

Shipping containers are large and specialised products that are generally selected according to the customer's requirements, intended use, container size, configuration, delivery location, and site conditions. A change-of-mind return is therefore not automatically available and may only be accepted where GRI Group Pty Ltd agrees to the return. Any approved change-of-mind return may be subject to the condition of the container, transportation requirements, collection arrangements, and reasonable costs associated with returning the product. Where a change-of-mind return is approved, the container should remain in substantially the same condition as supplied and should not have been modified, converted, damaged, or otherwise altered. This section does not affect any rights a customer may have under applicable Australian Consumer Law.

Return Collection and Transportation

Shipping containers require suitable transportation and unloading equipment. Where a return is approved and collection is required, GRI Group Pty Ltd will advise the customer of the appropriate collection arrangements.Customers are responsible for ensuring that the container is reasonably accessible for the agreed collection vehicle and that the property provides suitable access for safe loading and removal.Depending on the container type and location, specialised delivery or lifting equipment may be required. Site access, road conditions, gates, overhead obstacles, unloading space, and the condition of the placement area may affect collection arrangements.Where a return is required because the product was defective, incorrectly supplied, or otherwise covered by an applicable legal remedy, GRI Group Pty Ltd will deal with reasonable return or collection arrangements in accordance with the circumstances and applicable law.

Inspection and Condition Requirements

GRI Group Pty Ltd may request photographs, videos, order details, invoices, delivery information, or other relevant evidence before determining a return request.A container may also be inspected to establish the nature of the issue and confirm its condition.Except where an issue involves a defect, damage, incorrect supply, or another matter covered by applicable law, a returned container should be in substantially the same condition in which it was supplied.Customers should avoid making alterations, modifications, repairs, conversions, or other changes to a container after delivery where doing so could make it difficult to assess the original issue.

Refunds

Where a refund is approved, the refund will normally be processed using the original payment method, unless another arrangement is agreed.The timing of a refund may depend on the payment method, banking institution, payment processor, and other processing requirements.The amount and method of any refund will depend on the reason for the return, the applicable purchase terms, the condition of the product, and any rights or remedies available under Australian law.Where a refund or other remedy is required under applicable Australian Consumer Law, GRI Group Pty Ltd will provide the applicable remedy in accordance with the law.

Exchanges and Replacements

Where appropriate, GRI Group Pty Ltd may offer a replacement or exchange for an eligible container or product.Any replacement will depend on product availability and the circumstances of the issue. Where the replacement differs in size, type, condition, specification, configuration, or price, the customer will be informed of the applicable arrangements before the exchange is completed.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Containers

Customers should contact GRI Group Pty Ltd if a container is received with significant damage, a material defect, an incorrect configuration, or specifications that do not correspond with what was agreed at the time of purchase. Where possible, customers should provide photographs or video evidence together with their order or invoice details. Providing clear photographs, videos, delivery information, and order details can help us assess the issue and determine the appropriate next step. The available remedy will depend on the circumstances of the issue, the agreed purchase terms, the condition of the container, and any applicable statutory consumer guarantees or rights.

Custom, Converted, or Modified Containers

Products that have been custom-built, converted, modified, or specially configured to meet individual customer requirements may not be eligible for a change-of-mind return. Depending on the project, modifications may include roller doors, personnel doors, windows, electrical systems, lighting, insulation, flooring, internal partitions, office fit-outs, ventilation, and custom layouts. Availability, specifications, and pricing depend on the requested design.This does not remove or restrict any rights the customer may have under applicable Australian Consumer Law where a product is defective, incorrectly supplied, or otherwise fails to meet applicable legal requirements.
