This policy forms part of the Just Comfort Shoes Terms and Conditions.

​Orders

Our comfortable shoes can be ordered for delivery anywhere in Australia but not overseas.

Due to delivery consignment processes, once you have placed your order, we may be unable to cancel it or add, remove or alter the included items, or make changes to details such as your phone number, email address or billing or shipping address.

Just Comfort Shoes reserves the right to cancel your order for various reasons including but not limited to: payment failure; an unauthorised credit card; payment fraud risk, whether automatically or manually determined; invalid personal details; your inability to provide proof of identity if asked; damage or a fault in a product or packaging; anything that detracts from a reasonable belief that delivery will be successful within a reasonable timeframe; carrier costs that we deem excessive; or an error on the website or in store, such as in a description, price, image, inventory count, product identification or packaging.

Free shipping or pickup

All items displayed on the website are eligible for free shipping for online or in-store purchases. To facilitate this affordably, some cheaper items may be shipped without a shoe box, and in those cases, no shoe box is required for a return. (Some cheaper items such as slippers and thongs have only a plastic bag rather than a box to begin with.) Check the product descriptions to see which items ship without a box.

Alternatively, choose pick-up during your order to collect your purchase in store. We will let you know when your order is ready. You may be required to show identification.

​Payment methods

Payment methods for online orders are: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Shop Pay.

Payment methods in store are all of the above with the exception of Shop Pay, plus cash.

Payment methods for phone orders are: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB and direct deposit.

Direct deposit is also available to organisations paying for shoes on behalf of a client.

Products are not issued until payment has cleared, so please bear in mind that direct deposit payment may involve a delay, and customers opting for pick-up in store should wait until we advise that funds have cleared and will not be able to pick shoes up until after this.

We do not accept payment by cheque or money order, and do not offer lay-bys.

​Shipping methods and timeframes

Shipping is by Australia Post or Aramex couriers. Online buyers may select a preference, though it may be overriden for practical reasons such as excessive courier prices or the unavailability of a courier route for particular localities. Delivery by courier is set by default to "Authority to Leave", which means the courier is authorised to leave the parcel unattended if they deem it safe. This is because if required not to leave the package, the parcel may need to be returned to a depot (not a post office), which may be a long way from the recipient's address. Orders for delivery to PO boxes and parcel lockers cannot be delivered by our courier service and will go by Australia Post.

Estimated Australia Post shipping timeframes in business days for various destinations are as follows: ​South-East Queensland - 3-5; Regional Queensland - 4-6; Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne - 4-6; Regional NSW or Victoria - 4-8; Adelaide, Darwin, Hobart, Perth - 6-8; Regional Tas, SA, WA - 6-8; Regional NT - 14-16. Shipping to remote areas of the country may take up to 16 business days. Delivery may take longer for orders placed in late December or early January.

Tracking deliveries

Customers providing their email address during purchase can receive a tracking code or website link and/or shipping status updates, depending on the mode of delivery. If you don't hear news of your delivery in the expected timeframe, you can use an Aramex tracking code at https://www.aramex.com.au/tools/track/​. You can use an Australia Post tracking code at https://auspost.com.au/track/. If you have not received a tracking code or cannot see tracking information, please feel free to contact us. For Australia Post deliveries, if you're not at home, Australia Post will notify you via the AusPost app, email, or SMS. If you don't have an Australia Post MyPost account or your parcel has not been successfully matched to your MyPost account, Australia Post will leave a card.

Returns

Just Comfort Shoes offers free returns with conditions. See our Returns Policy.

​Changes to this Policy

This policy may change at any time without notice.

This policy forms part of the Just Comfort Shoes Terms and Conditions. Please read this policy before filling out our Returns Form.

Our returns policy aims to reduce risk and inconvenience to you so that you can buy with confidence.

We offer 30-day returns, free mailing of one 30-day return within any 60-day period for products displayed on our website at the time of purchase, and monetary refunds for returns - not just store credits. We don’t exclude discounted items from returns - even free returns - unless they are sold in an “as is” condition with defects brought to the attention of the buyer prior to purchase.

30-day returns

• Returned items must arrive at our store with proof of purchase within 30 days of the purchase date.
• Items must be in new, unworn, unmarked, unwashed and undamaged condition, including their original product boxes or packets and any included accessories.
• Products issued under the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Medical Grade Footwear program or sold in an "as is" condition with defects brought to the attention of the buyer prior to purchase may be returned only if the Australian Consumer Law or a warranty of a relevant government program requires it of us.

One 30-day return with free mailing per 60-day period

For products displayed on our website, we offer free return mailing of a single pair of footwear per 60-day period (counted from the return arrival date) for a refund of the product purchase price, with the following additional conditions:

• Any item for free return mailing must be returned in a single Australia Post Flat Rate Satchel or Aramex courier satchel that we provide with a mailed order, or, if you received no return satchel, must be wrapped in packaging paper and have its weight, length, width and height sent to us so we can create a prepaid mailing consignment for you.
• Free return consignments are available only to people with an email address and access to a printer so that you can receive and print a prepaid mailing label.

Returns process

Returns can be done by mail or in store. To arrange a return mailing, first check you are eligible based on the above conditions and then use the following process:

• Gather the product and its original product packaging (usually a shoe box or plastic bag), ensuring that any accessories included with the product such as insoles, forefoot inlays, a fitting kit, a shoe horn or strap extenders are included with the return.
• Provide your details by filling out our online form or speaking with us on the phone on 07 5444 8009. We will need your name, phone number, online order number or in-store order date if applicable, your email address if you have one, the product you wish to return, and the reason for the return. If you have not received a return satchel from us, we will also need the weight, length, width and height of the product, including its product box or packet (not its postal packaging). 
• We will then confirm whether you qualify for a free return mailing. If you do, we will confirm the delivery company and whether the return can be picked up from your address or if it needs to be taken to a post office. Or, in the less common case of no reasonably priced prepaid return label being possible in your location, we can reimburse you for the cost of any eligible free return mailing after we receive the return, provided you use the packaging we specify.
• Write your name and contact details and the reason for the return on a piece of paper and place it in the shoe box or packet with a copy of your receipt.
• If we have provided one or more return satchels with a mailed product, pack the product in the size of satchel we specify or the smallest satchel the product fits in if we sent more than one size with an order of multiple products.
• If we provided no return satchel, wrap the product in packing paper.
• Avoid using tape or stickers on the shoe box or using the shoe box or other product packaging itself as postal packaging.
• Stick any mailing label we provide on the package and sign any relevant “no dangerous goods” declaration.
• If return delivery will be by Aramex courier collection, click the button in the Aramex email you receive to confirm the proposed pickup time, or contact us again if the time doesn’t suit.
• If you do not qualify for a free return mailing, you will need to pay for postage, but please feel free to use any satchel we have provided when doing that.
• If paying for mailing yourself, please send the package to:

Just Comfort Shoes (Mooloolaba)
155 Brisbane Rd
Mooloolaba QLD 4557

Refund process and timeframe

Returns may be done in person or by mail to our store regardless of the way you purchased. We will aim to assess eligibility within five business days of the return’s arrival but cannot guarantee meeting this timeframe if an outcome depends on an enquiry to a supplier, brand, or manufacturer.

For eligible returns, a refund will be issued as soon as possible after the return is accepted, but may take longer to appear in your bank account, depending on the purchasing method and bank. Wherever possible, refunds will be issued to the same payment method as was used for the purchase unless you opt for an e-gift card to the same value for use on our website or in store. The timeframe for refunded money to appear in a bank account for online orders is typically 5-10 days, while value refunded to e-gift cards can be used immediately after the refund is processed.

Non-eligible returns

If an item you return is deemed not to be eligible for return under our policy, you may collect the item from our store or have us mail it back to you for a cost of up to $20 per product, which may depend on packaging requirements.

Non-eligible free return mailings

If we pay for your mailing of a return to us but the product is not returned, you will be charged for the cost of mailing except in cases where we can cancel the mailing consignment for a refund of its cost. If we pay for you to receive free return mailing but the return turns out to be ineligible, you will be charged for the mailing to us before the product is returned to you. If the product is eligible for a return but not a free return, any charge due to you for ineligible free return mailing will be deducted from your refund or credit. 

Maximising your chance of an eligible return

We recommend doing the following upon receiving your order:

• Keep any return satchel/s delivered with your order.
• Try footwear out on carpet and walk carefully to minimise the chance of marking the soles or scuffing or damaging the upper.
• Make sure your feet are clean, and use clean socks, sockettes or stockings when trying footwear on.
• Avoid forcing zips or forcing your feet into footwear while fastenings are done up or if the shoe size or opening is too small.
• Keep together any included accessories such as insoles, forefoot inlays, fitting kits, shoe horns and strap extenders.

Customer responsibility for purchasing decisions

Just Comfort Shoes gives footwear purchasing advice in good faith but cannot guarantee that a product will suit you or a particular purpose or use. All purchasing decisions and all aspects of fitness for use, including choice of style, colour and size, are your responsibility even if we recommend a product based on measurements or feature descriptions you provide to us. You are not eligible for a return outside of our usual returns policy conditions based on a belief that we have recommended the wrong product or size.

Statutory warranties

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Products with problems

If you believe an order or a product has a problem, please cease using the product and advise us by phone or email, or through our online returns form or in store as soon as possible. We may ask you to provide photos of the problem in case this helps us assess any potential fault and/or organise a remedy using a service in your local area in an attempt to provide you with a quicker resolution and avoid unnecessary postage costs. However, we may decide that the product still needs to be returned for fault assessment or remedy.

If you pay for mailing to return a product because of a problem such as a product defect or a delivery not matching your order, you should also provide postage receipts for reimbursement of reasonable postage costs, which should usually be no more than about $20. We may liaise with a product supplier, brand or manufacturer to determine whether a product is faulty. If you claim a product is defective but we determine it is not, you will be charged the greater of $20 or the actual postage cost for the product to be sent back to you unless you opt to pick it up in store.
