Customer terms & policies

Returns, Refunds & Exchanges

Coffee & Consumables

Our coffee is freshly roasted to order, ensuring optimal flavour and quality. Because of this, we cannot resell or reuse returned beans, and we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on coffee or consumable products for change-of-mind reasons. We recommend double-checking your grind size, quantity and delivery details before placing your order to make sure you get exactly what you need.

This does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law if an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect, unsafe or does not meet consumer guarantees.

Non-Perishable Items

For non-consumable items, such as brewing gear, accessories or merchandise, we happily accept returns or exchanges where:

The item is unused and in its original condition.

The item is returned within 14 days of purchase or delivery.

Proof of purchase is provided.

To start a return, email us at orders@micrology.com.au and we’ll guide you through the process.

Change-of-Mind Returns

We understand things change!

While we cannot accept change-of-mind returns on coffee, consumables or perishable products, we’re happy to discuss an exchange or store credit for non-perishable items, provided the item meets the return conditions above.

Return postage for change of mind returns is at the customer’s expense.

Refunds, Exchanges & Store Credit

Once your return is received and approved, you may choose:

A refund to your original payment method.

An exchange for a replacement item.

Store credit for a future purchase.

Refunds are processed back to the original payment method where possible. Processing times may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

Sale Items

Some sale, discounted or promotional items may not be eligible for returns, exchanges or store credit.

Where this applies, we aim to make it as clear as possible at the time of purchase or within the promotion terms.

This does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law if an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect or does not meet consumer guarantees.

Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives damaged, faulty, incorrect or not as expected, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 14 days of receiving your order, at orders@micrology.com.au.

Please include:

Your order number.

A description of the issue.

Photos of the item, packaging or damage where relevant.We’ll review the issue and help arrange a suitable solution, which may include a replacement, refund, repair or store credit depending on the situation.

Contacting us quickly helps us review the issue and resolve it as smoothly as possible.

Australian Consumer Law

Your rights are important. Nothing in this policy limits your entitlements under the Australian Consumer Law.

If an item is faulty or does not meet consumer guarantees, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund.

Discount codes may have a minimum spend requirement.

Some offers may apply automatically at checkout.

Automatic discounts may override, prevent or block the use of other discount codes, rewards, referral offers or promotional offers.
