Changes to Terms of Sale
US Auto Parts Australiaâ„¢ reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of these terms of sale, in whole or in part, or to incorporate service fees for Members, at any time. Changes in these terms of sale will be effective when posted. You agree to review these terms of sale periodically to be aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Site after any changes to these of sale are posted will be considered acceptance of those changes.
Order Acceptance/Confirmation For Online Purchases
Once we receive your order, we’ll provide you with an email order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation, however, does not signify US Auto Parts Australia’s acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell; we are simply confirming that we received your order. The US Auto Parts Australia™ Store reserves the right at any time after receiving your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. If US Auto Parts Australia™ cancels an order after you have already been billed, US Auto Parts Australia™ will refund the billed amount.
Returns Policy
Everything we sell is returnable for full part cost credit within 14 days after delivery (except certain special order and discontinued items identified in our catalogue as “No Return”). If you’re not satisfied with something, you can obtain return instructions using our return an item section, please tell us your order number, the part number and the reason for the return). If a part doesn’t fit, don’t try to “make it fit” and risk damaging the part or your car and or yourself. We won’t accept responsibility for any costs exceeding the cost of the part so please inspect the part before you start the repair. Returns go to different locations, depending on the type of part and the reason for the return. You must send the return to the correct location and include the return instructions in the package to receive credit. Check that the parts are complete and in their original unmarked manufacturer part boxes (cores must be returned in the box the new part came in). Put the part boxes in a shipping box – returns sent in just the manufacturer’s packaging may not be refundable if the original box is damaged in shipping. Please don’t paint the part, install the part or throw away the box until you’re sure the part you have is the part you need. Please do not write on or alter the box in any way. We cannot issue return credit for parts which have been installed, painted, modified or returned without their original packaging. Shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is due to our mistake. If you refuse delivery or the carrier returns a package because you provided an invalid address, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund. Refunds typically take about 10 business days to be issued. Providing us with a return tracking number will ensure a faster refund. Refunds will be issued in the same form as you paid, (i.e. Credit card payments will receive credit to the same card used to place the order). You will receive email confirmation when the refund has been issued.
Cores Returns
Some of the parts we sell are remanufactured. These parts are identified in our catalogue as “remanufactured” or “reman.”Â
For parts like alternators and master cylinders, the basic body (a complex and expensive metal casting) usually is very durable. But components, like bushings and seals, can wear out and cause the part to fail. Replacing just the worn components can be very cost-effective, helps protect the environment, and produces very reliable results.
Remanufactured parts usually have a core charge. The core charge is a deposit that the manufacturer charges us, and which we pass on to you, to encourage the return of old parts to be remanufactured. You pay the core charge when you place your order. If you return the old part to us, we refund the core charge. To receive credit, cores must be returned within 30 days of the date your order was delivered. Cores must be complete, rebuildable, fit the same vehicle application and be returned in the box the remanufactured part came in. This means the part you send back needs to have whatever components (like pulleys) came on the remanufactured part. The box helps identify the part and proves to the manufacturer that the core replaces one of their products. Obviously, the core won’t be working but it can’t be smashed, rusted solid, or otherwise unusable. We rarely reject a core. If the part came off a running vehicle and just wore out–no problem. But please don’t send a part that’s been soaking in junkyard mud for 5 years and expect to receive core credit. Shipping charges on cores aren’t refundable. Before sending back a core, you’ll need to decide if the core deposit is worth the shipping cost. As with any return, before returning a core you must obtain and follow return instructions from our return an item section.
