Please read the Returns Policy prior to placing your order as there are exceptions to this policy.

If in doubt, please contact us for clarification and we will happily assist.

We stand by the products we carry and we are confident you will love your purchase too. If for any reason you are not satisfied or have changed your mind about your online purchase, you can simply return it to our store and we will provide you with an exchange, credit, refund or repair subject to the guidelines outlined below.

1. 30 day period

1.1. If you are not happy with your item, you must return the item(s) within 30 calendar days of it being delivered to your location. Please check that you are eligible for a return by reading through the returns policy and send an email to driveinpoolspa@gmail.com to lodge your intention to return, including your

order number
details of what items you will be returning

1.3. Please note: the eligibility of a return, and its RAN number only applies to the item(s) you lodge for return. Returning items without notifying us or returning additional items to what was lodged does not automatically qualify those additional items for return and Simple Form reserves the right to reject the return entirely or charge a processing fee.

1.4. Returns lodged outside the 30 day period will not be accepted.

2. Non-Refundable Shipping Charges & Fees

2.1. Original shipping charges and payment fees are non-refundable.

3. Exceptions to the Change of Mind Returns Policy

3.1. Exceptions to our Change of Mind Returns policy apply in the following cases:

6. Return in saleable condition.

6.2. Missing and damaged boxes and missing accessories etc will not be accepted as a complete return. Please DO NOT attach postage labels and stamps onto a product’s original packaging box. While we accept you can change your mind and return your unwanted products, we must ensure we can resell your item as brand new. It is a fair policy.

7. Preparing your item for return

7.1. When returning an item we ask you enclose a copy of the tax invoice you would have received with the order (or order confirmation email) and the returns form as proof of purchase. We ask that you complete the returns form and send the items back, making sure to clearly mark the RAN on the front of your parcel.

7.2. The item will remain your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own peace of mind we recommend you carefully repackage your item to avoid any damage during transportation and consider using express post or registered post to track your item. Please retain proof of postage until we have confirmed your refund has been processed.

8.1. Once your returned purchase has undergone a quality control check, our store team members will determine whether a refund or exchange will be offered in accordance with our Refund Policy. Please allow 7-14 business days from the time we receive your order for your return to be processed.

8.2. We will notify you via email once your return has been processed and we will then refund your item at the purchase price, minus any incurred shipping costs and any processing fees, to the original method of payment.
