Refunds and Returns Policy

The Matchbox Promise

Matchbox stocks premium quality kitchenware, cookware and appliances. If a product you order is received in faulty condition or is not as shown to you on the Website, you are entitled to a refund, repair, exchange or credit with our Matchbox 10-Year Promise.

Our 10-year guarantee means if your item is defective, faulty, or not fit for purpose, we promise to take care of it by allowing you to return that item for up to 10 years from your purchase. You can return your items either by delivery or bringing them into stores.

While this excludes breakages, wear and tear, or other scenarios outside of manufacturing defects, our Customer Service teams both online and in stores are here to assist you in selecting a suitable replacement. Exchanges made in-store will be conducted at the Store Manager's discretion.

If, for whatever reason, you change your mind or you are not entirely happy with your purchase from the Website, we can offer you an exchange or refund excluding delivery and re-delivery costs. Change of Mind Returns are only available within 30 days of purchase for online orders, or within 14 days of purchase for stores, and are subject to our Store Staff or Customer Service Team's discretion.

Supplier Warranty Claims

In some circumstances, particularly for appliances, some cookware brands and items that were purchased a significant time ago, we may need to send your product to the distributor for assessment. They will usually assess the nature of the fault and then determine the appropriate action based on the warranty.

Matchbox will endeavour to keep your waiting time for Warranty Claims as short as possible.

For Warranty, please email info@matchbox.com.au and if possible, include a photograph and description of the fault or issue, or call your local store, with the following details:
