ORDER INFORMATION

Can I make changes to an order once it is placed?

We are quick to dispatch your orders and only have an exceedingly small window to make changes. We will do everything in our power to make these changes before your items are shipped. Please contact us immediately by emailing sales@skinstitut.com.au with the subject as 'URGENT' and include your order number and all the specific details of the changes you need to make. We cannot guarantee we will be able to make the changes though we will try our best to do so.

My address is wrong, what do I do?

Your order will be shipped to the address saved on file. We are unable to amend the address as a once off and if you do request an address change, it will need to be updated permanently in our system with the change of business details form filled in. Our team will attach this to you, and it will need to be filled in before you place your next order for updates to take place. Please note that if your order has already left us, you will need to contact Australia Post directly using your tracking number and request a redirection for your package as a once off.

How do I know if my order was placed/received successfully?

All successfully placed orders will display a 'THANK YOU' page with your order number and an email confirmation will also come through immediately after completing your order. This will be sent to the email address you are logged in with/have the account with. It may land in your junk/spam folder. If you have not received it, please contact us to confirm the order.

Can I duplicate a previous order so I don’t have to re order every time?

Yes, you can click into order history > click onto the order you wish to duplicate and hit ‘re order selected items’.




ORDER ISSUES & RETURNS

How do I process a return or exchange?

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and pride ourselves for developing products of the highest quality. We do not accept returns for refunds however we will be happy to offer you a replacement or credit note if the return is approved by our customer service team due to being faulty, received in error or differs dramatically from the description supplied by Skinstitut. We may accept returns for other reasons at our discretion. If you would like to complete a return request please visit the portal > click on your order history > click into the order you wish to request a return on > select the item and add in details on the reasoning. Our team will be notified to review the request and provide further steps. Returned goods that are approved must be in original condition, unopened and include all original packaging. Please note, return labels are not provided unless the product is received in error, damaged/faulty.

My order has arrived faulty/damaged, what do I do?

For us to investigate your warranty claim, you must reach out within 12 hours once the parcel is delivered providing clear images of the fault/damage and a description identifying the issue. Videos are also recommended. Our customer care team will review and process your claim within 24-48 hours. To lodge this, please visit the portal. Our team will respond from the sales@skinstitut.com.au email address. If the goods are deemed faulty, we will provide a return label for the products and replace the product free of additional freight charges as a new order. If you opt for the credit note rather than replacement order, a credit note for the price paid by you for the goods (exclusive of the initial delivery charge) will be processed once the items arrive back to our warehouse.

My order has arrived, and the product is wrong or missing, what do I do?

Our team work hard to ensure the accuracy of all orders, but mistakes do happen. If you receive an item that is different to what you ordered, you must reach out within 12 hours once the parcel is delivered by contacting our customer care team at sales@skinstitut.com.au and raising the issue within the portal with your order number, a photo of your packing slip and a photo of the items you did receive. Please do not open the sealed package in which it was sent. Any attempt to use the incorrect item will be deemed accepted by you as satisfactory or substitute for the one that was missing, and no further claim can be raised. Skinstitut owns the title of any extra goods shipped with your order that have been dispatched in error.

Does Skinstitut cover the cost of all returns?

Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable. Any goods that are approved by the customer service team for a return, are returned at the customers cost and are your responsibility until the stock reaches our warehouse. Please ensure you package your return securely to prevent any damage to the goods or boxes. We are not responsible for any goods that are returned to us in error. A return tracking number must be provided so the warehouse can match the return to your order number.
