Exchanging an Item

To exchange an item please return it via our online returns portal so that we can refund your initial purchase price. You will then need to place a new order. Unfortunately our e-commerce system does not allow us to offer direct exchanges.

Our Returns Policy

You may return any new and unused product to us within 30 days of delivery for a refund of its purchase price. Items should be returned in their original packaging and with all swing-tickets still attached. The cost of returning any item to us via our online returns portal is subsidised but not covered by Mountain Equipment and as such will be deducted from the value of your returns refund*.

We can only accept returns that are sent via our online returns portal. Please retain your proof of shipping. We are not responsible for items lost or delayed on their way back to us but by using our returns portal, we hope to minimise the chance of this happening and thereby save headaches for both of us. In the event of a lost returns parcel, you as the sender are responsible for processing any claim.

Unfortunately, we are not able to process exchanges online. Should the item not be suitable please return it via our returns portal so we can refund your initial purchase. You will then need to place a new order.

*In the event that a product is supplied in error, is found to be faulty immediately upon receipt or is not as described, Mountain Equipment will provide a full refund including the cost of return shipping.

When returning products please ensure that they are in a re-sellable condition with all the swing tags attached and any packaging included. If items are returned and deemed to not be in a re-sellable condition (due to problems like dirty marks, lack of swing tags, signs of use or any other reason) then an appropriate deduction from the value of the refund will be applied. In serious cases we reserve the right to return items to the consumer with no refund.
