Returns Policy

At Harvey Norman

we're sure you will be completely satisfied with your order. However, we understand that sometimes things just don't work out. If you would like to make a return or refund, all of the information you need is just a click away!

In-store Returns Policy

If you have changed your mind or if you’re unhappy with your purchase, please let us know. Unless faulty, this must be within 14 days*. The unwanted item(s) must be accompanied by the original receipt and returned in a resaleable, as sold condition. By this we mean:

  • You have kept all original packaging and labels in good condition and the products can be resold at full price.

  • You have not used the product.

  • The product contains no personal data and is not registered to a user.

We are unable to refund or exchange imperfect goods where the imperfection was identified to you prior to purchase (for example, where you have knowingly purchased an imperfect display model). Returns, unless faulty are not permitted on custom orders where an item has been ordered to your exact specifications or on any nonstandard combination order. Similarly, any item which has undergone installation/assembly cannot be returned unless a fault has occurred. Refunds will be processed once the goods have been returned to us.

For our policy on Refunds and exchanges in relation to larger Furniture and Bedding items, please see our Furniture and Bedding Terms of Sale and Care Guide for further details as an additional re-stocking fee will apply.

** Some exclusions to our returns policy apply. Unless faulty, we reserve the right to reject returns where installation/assembly on a product has already begun.

In addition, a fee may apply, where the item(s) returned have diminished in value through handling the item beyond what is necessary to inspect the features and characteristics of the item(s).

Return of Faulty Goods

We recommend you inspect any goods that we deliver, or you collect from one of our stores to ensure you are completely satisfied. If you believe your product is faulty, please submit a contact us form here or contact our Online Customer Service Team at online.customerservice@uk.harveynorman.com.

We may request details of the fault and may ask for pictures or videos to verify the issue. Once verified, we will arrange for the return of the faulty product(s). Please note that this policy does not cover faults caused by misuse, accidental damage, or normal wear and tear.

If your item is faulty, we’re happy to offer you an exchange or a refund within 30 days of purchase or delivery.

After 30 days, we will repair or replace the product in accordance with the terms of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

After 6 months your statutory rights require you to prove the fault existed at the time of purchase/delivery. If you are able to provide evidence of this, we will repair or replace the affected item.

Proof of purchase will be required for all returns.

Repair of Faulty Goods

Goods returned for repair will be assessed and/or repaired within a reasonable time frame. These time frames may vary.

You may be required to pay for labour, assessment and/or freight fees if goods are damaged by misuse or accident.

If you need to return products that contain private data such as files stored on the hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile device and songs stored on a portable media player, the replacement or repair of the goods may result in loss of data. We recommend you back up data to prevent data loss and move sensitive or confidential information. A party assessing and/or repairing your goods may be required to view data in the course of carrying out the assessment. We will not be responsible for any data loss.

In some circumstances, goods presented for repair may be replaced rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.

Goods Damaged in Transit

We advise you to inspect your order upon arrival. If the item is visibly damaged, it should be noted on the delivery receipt. If any damage is discovered after delivery, please contact our Online Customer Service Team at online.customerservice@uk.harveynorman.com at your earliest possible opportunity. We may request photos of the damaged items for us to assess. Damaged goods must be returned in the condition received by you with all original packaging, accessories and manuals.

Your Consumer Rights

Consumer contracts are protected by the consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Under the Act the purchaser of goods has a number of rights, including that:

  • (a) Goods must be of merchantable quality – goods should be of reasonable quality taking into account what they are meant to do, their durability and their price.

  • (b) Goods must be fit for their purpose – they must do what they are reasonably excepted to do.

These rights cannot be excluded and are in addition to any extended warranty you may wish to purchase or any voluntary manufacturer’s warranty you may be given.

There may be circumstances where you are not entitled to a remedy such as, if your order is faulty due to accidental damage, misuse or general wear and tear.
