  • Items should be kept in their original condition where possible while we review the issue.

4. Items That Cannot Usually Be Returned

Some items cannot usually be returned or exchanged unless your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply.

  • Used or shaped leather goods — our leather is handcrafted and develops a patina with use, so once it's been worn in it cannot be resold as new.
  • Custom or personalised orders.
  • Items marked final sale or clearance.
  • Gift cards.

5. Natural Materials and Everyday Use

TriCamp gear is made from natural and durable materials. Small marks, grain differences, and colour changes are part of what makes each item unique.

Product colours may also look slightly different from the photos on our website because screens, monitors, device settings, and lighting can display colours differently. We do our best to show each item as accurately as possible, but small colour differences are normal and are not usually considered a fault.

  • Titanium — covered against manufacturing defects for its reasonably expected working life under the ACL. Scratches from normal trail use are not considered a fault.
  • Wood — natural grain, colour variation, and small knots are part of the material, not a defect.
  • Leather — will soften, darken, and develop character over time. This natural patina is expected.

6. When You Will Receive Your Refund

  • We process approved refunds within 5 business days after receiving and approving the return.
  • Your bank may take another 3–5 business days to show the funds.
  • Store credit appears in your TriCamp account within 1 business day.

7. Australian Consumer Law

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are always protected. If a product is faulty, does not match its description, or is not fit for purpose, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund, even if the return timeframes or fees above would not normally apply.
