Guarantee and 30 day returns

We guarantee that your earth-friendly shopping experience will be entirely satisfying and that you will be happy to shop with us again. If this is not the case, please contact me so that we can make sure we meet your expectations.

If you are not satisfied with a product once you've had the chance to appreciate it first-hand, you are welcome to return it to us within 30 days, unused and in a pristine saleable condition with the original packaging *(there are some exceptions) and we will refund your cost of goods. 

*These items can not be returned (unless they're faulty of course)

Skin & body care, makeup and food items -  as we can not be sure whether these items have been exposed to heat and thus spoiled.  We're sure you agree that you would not wish to receive one of these items that had previously travelled around Australia!  We are happy to help you make the right decision first time, so please don't hesitate to call us on 1300 301 767.
Water purifiers, Bokashi bins & Wishbone bikes - these are big, but straight-forward items with plenty of info and photos to help you make the right decision before we ship them!

Here's how it works

Please email us with details of the product you wish to return.

You then pack the products safely into a suitable box, address the parcel and drop it into a convenient Post Office or post box.

Once we have received the parcel and verified that the items are unused and undamaged, we will send you an email confirming that we will refund the cost of your goods. Please allow 2 - 7 days for the refund to appear on your credit card to allow for bank processing.

Please do take care with packaging the items as we can not take responsibility for any damage in return transit.

Faulty goods

Should you believe a product is faulty, please email us immediately to discuss the best course of action. Please do not return products without first contacting us.

Using the secure online shop

Browse through our departments using the shopping navigation menu on the left-hand side. When you find a product that you would like to purchase, click the ‘Add to Cart’ button.

If you wish to purchase more than one of an item, click 'Add to Cart' and then at the Shopping Cart page you will be able to insert the desired quantity. After you insert a new quantity or remove an item, click 'Update' to effect the changes.

Once you have finished your product selections, click ‘Checkout’. You can still delete / add items until you finalise your payment.

At the checkout, you will be asked to enter your delivery and payment details. Your credit card details are securely transmitted using industry standard SSL encryption technology (read more below). However, if you prefer, you can select the cheque/money order/telephone option and then telephone us on 1300 301 767 to pay over the telephone.

Postage/shipping costs will be automatically added to your order at the checkout.

You will receive an automatic confirmation of your order by email. Should you not receive this email, it means that your order may not have been confirmed. Please contact us to check.

Delivery service terms & conditions

Please read carefully these standard terms for reliable mail-order services.

  • Most orders are sent by Registered Australia Post e-parcel service, ensuring that your order can be traced. Occasionally we also use selected couriers.
  • If no-one is at home when Australia Post or the courier delivers, you should receive a 'calling card' explaining where to collect the parcel from the Post Office (or for couriers, how to arrange redelivery).
  • If no-one will be at home during the day, you might consider having the order shipped to a work address.
  • Instructions to leave - you can also leave special instructions (in the Comments Box during Checkout) for the order to be left in a safe location should you not be at home. Please note, however, that by doing so you take responsibility should the order go missing after it is delivered.

Please note:

  • It is your responsibility to advise us should an order delivery be late, incorrect or damaged. Please contact us immediately on shop@biome.com.au. Should an order be lost in transit, damaged or incorrect, we may not send replacement items immediately. Replacement items will be despatched according to our discretion following our investigations.
  • We do not accept liability for any loss or damage arising from items lost, stolen or damaged after delivery has taken place.
  • We will not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from late delivery.

International shipping

We accept orders from NZ, USA, UK and other countries.  International orders are not subject to sales tax, so all prices are less 10% when purchased from overseas. Once you have placed your order online, we will contact you by email to confirm these costs.  Please look out for an email and contact us if you do not receive it within two days.

You can see estimated shipping costs at this page > International Postage Cost Calculator.


Gift service

The pleasure of gift-giving is enhanced when the gift carries a special earth-friendly meaning.

Online shopping is perfect for gift-giving, as your gift can be sent directly to the person, wherever they may live. To do this, at the checkout you simply specify a different delivery address from your billing address. You will also be asked during the checkout to enter a personal message for the card, if you wish.

For $5 per gift we will wrap your present and include a gift card.  Please note that if you request more than one gift to be wrapped with an order, we will charge an extra $5 per gift wrapping.

You can also purchase a gift voucher and have it sent to you or the recipient by email.

Packaging

We use environmentally-responsible packaging and recycle all packaging materials that are sent to us. Therefore, you may sometimes receive packaging such as plastic bubble wrap, but at least it is having a second life!


Privacy policy

We guarantee to never disclose, sell, rent or exchange your personal details to any third party for any reason.

Spam annoys us greatly and we would never do anything to increase the spam cluttering our planet!

We only collect your details that are necessary to ensure that we can effectively complete your transaction and deliver your order.
