Faulty Returns

If you receive a faulty item or if there are any issues with your order, please contact our Customer Support Team to request a return of faulty goods. MedCart Customer service will ask you for evidence of the fault and for your proof of purchase. MedCart Customer Service will investigate the issue with the Seller and advise you on next steps.

Next steps may require you to provide further video or photo evidence to have your faulty return approved. It may also require you to send the products for physical inspection of the fault. If your product requires physical inspection, MedCart support team will provide you information on how and where to return your goods for inspection.

The seller will provide a pre-paid return label for return of faulty goods, upon approval of return based on photo or video evidence.

If the seller requires a physical inspection, and the seller deems there is no fault with the item (for example, where the seller believes the goods have been misused, or there was a failure to use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, used it in an abnormal way or there has been a failure to take reasonable care), the seller will reject your claim and return your goods to you.

You must cover the cost of return shipping in order to receive goods that the seller has rejected on inspection. MedCart will provide you with instructions on how to make this payment.

Due to hygienic and safety reasons, returns of certain faulty goods are not necessary. However, remedies for faulty goods are still available in these cases.

Please see the following list of products not requiring physical returns (Video & Photo Evidence required):

  • Cosmetics & Beauty products (If hygiene seal is broken)
  • Clinical PPE & Disposable Apparel
  • Pharmaceutical/Health products (ie.Prescription, Vitamins and Supplements)(if seal is broken)
  • Perishable Goods & Food items (ie. Confectionery, protein powders & drinks)(if seal is broken)
  • Baby/Infant Formula (if seal is broken)
  • Pierced jewellery
  • Mattresses, pillows, mattress and pillow protectors
  • Adult toys/sexual health products
  • Personalized/Made to order Goods
  • Earphones/Headphones (if package has been opened)

Refunds

We aim to process refunds and replacements within 28 days of receipt by us of the original product; however, depending on your item and the number of returns in our system, this may take longer.

Typically, the refund will be processed following the refund approval and either:

  • The return item is sent with tracking provided to the seller or MedCart.
  • If no tracking provided, then return item is received by seller or MedCart.

There are some instances where MedCart would step in and process a refund before the return process is completed. If you have any further questions, please contact the MedCart Customer Support Team.

Refunds will be issued using the original payment method used for purchase.
