11.11     The Returns Process is as follows, and must be adhered to, to process the return of your order:

Step 1 – You will need to complete the Returns Form (available for download from our website), and specify the goods to be returned, the reason for the return, (eg: incorrect order, damaged or defective product) and the action you’d like Iridis to take indicating whether you require a refund, exchange or replacement.

Please ensure you retain a recorded delivery receipt from Australia Post to establish that you have returned the goods (ie – registered post), as we do not accept liability for returned goods lost in transit, or sent to an incorrect address.)
