Returns Policy

WHAT can be returned?
We offer a replacement service for items that are deemed faulty due to a manufacturing fault, but not on consumable items (see below) however we do not offer refunds for change of mind, or because you do not like the product you have purchased or no longer need it.

Warranty Procedure
When you return a product to us for any warranty purpose, Steel City Vapor or the manufacturer will determine, at our sole discretion, whether the product is faulty and the cause of the fault within a reasonable time frame.

In the case of a manufacturing defect or other fault not caused by you or your actions, we may offer you a store credit, refund, repair, or replacement in accordance with our obligations under under guidelines set out by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for Refunds, Replacements and Warranty Returns. For more information please visit https://www.accc.gov.au/..

In most cases, at our sole discretion, where appropriate and in accordance with our obligations under the ACL, we will offer a replacement for any item that qualifies under the terms of this warranty. In lieu of a replacement, we may choose, at our sole discretion, to offer you a refund or store credit.

Tanks (clearomizers, atomizers and cartomizers including glass components), wick, wire, coils, plastic bottles, vape bands, cotton and other items deemed as consumables are designed to be replaced over time and do not come with any kind of warranty unless received as DOA (Dead on Arrival). Please contact us within 24 hours of receiving  your package for any DOA consumables. We do not offer any kind of refund on consumables however we do offer store credit or a replacement if they are found to be DOA.

Batteries, battery chargers, starter kits and mods carry a 7 day DOA policy. If you have issues with a product during this time please contact us for a product return and replacement or refund.
