CHANGING OR CANCELLING ORDERS
First, if you have an issue with your order, please contact Defeat Diabetes Customer Care as soon as possible at support@defeatdiabetes.com.au.
Changes to orders, including cancelling because of an error or for a change of mind, are possible only for a limited time before your order begins processing in our Distribution Centre for In-Stock items, or begins processing at our supplier for all other items.
The cutoff to change an order or cancel is two hours for In-Stock items or one business day in all other cases. After these times, adding or substituting items on an order is not possible, and a new order must be placed. Note that we are unable to combine multiple individual orders.
Any addition or substitution may change the shipping time frame for that order, so please be aware of the advised shipping time for added or substituted items.
A refund is only possible if changes or cancellations are requested prior to the above-advised cut-off times. At Defeat Diabetes’ absolute discretion, we may offer a store credit for a cancellation accepted outside of these terms.
Note that a cancellation for a change of mind is not possible for the following product types:
RETURNS POLICY
This policy does not limit the rights you are entitled to under Australian Consumer Law.
Returns for defective items
If any of the items received for your order are damaged, the Defeat Diabetes Customer Care team is available to help.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
If you have received an incorrect, damaged, or faulty item, please contact us as soon as possible after the delivery was made. Defeat Diabetes will require evidence of the issue and may require you to return the item for assessment.
Defeat Diabetes may provide means to return an item at no cost to you or an alternate remedy. If an item is required to be returned (at no cost) it must be packed securely with cardboard or bubble wrap protecting the item, packed to prevent movement inside the package and ensuring the package is firmly enclosed.
Returns for change of mind
Defeat Diabetes is not obligated to accept a return for a change of mind. If we do accept a change-of-mind return, you must pay return postage and will only be entitled to a store credit, excluding the cost of shipping, for the approved returned item.
All returns must be packed securely with cardboard or bubble wrap protecting the item to prevent movement inside the package and ensure the package is firmly enclosed.
Returned items for a change of mind must be received at Defeat Diabetes in new and re-saleable condition (except where a damaged item has been accepted for return).
Where an item is returned for a change of mind without Defeat Diabetes’s approval or has not been packed securely, or is not in a new or re-saleable condition when it arrives at the Defeat Diabetes Distribution Centre, Defeat Diabetes is not obligated to provide a refund or store credit and the item may be returned to you. We will contact you to advise of the return status.
Store credits and refunds for approved returns will only apply to the returned item and will not cover return postage costs or your original shipping charge.
A return and refund for a change of mind is not possible for the following product types:
Before returning anything, you must contact Defeat Diabetes Customer Care at support@defeatdiabetes.com.au.

DELIVERY EXPECTATIONS
In Stock at the Defeat Diabetes Warehouse
Items in stock at the Defeat Diabetes Warehouse will state, 'Ships in 3 business days'. Occasionally, stock runs out before the website is updated, and you will be notified if you have been affected. Please note that if your order is placed during a "sale" period, dispatch time for 'in-stock' items can be delayed due to the increased volume of orders.
Items Not In Stock at the Defeat Diabetes Warehouse
Items not in stock at the Defeat Diabetes Warehouse will be identified as “Out of stock” in the title, and you will not be able to order from Defeat Diabetes. Our website is updated daily, but titles can and do sometimes become temporarily out of stock without prior notice from the publisher. If an item in your order is affected, then Defeat Diabetes staff will contact you via the email you provided to your Defeat Diabetes account to inform you of the delay.
How long will it take to deliver your book to you?
Digital books are available to download immediately after purchase. A download link will be sent to the email address you provide in your Defeat Diabetes account.
Print books will be processed and dispatched within three working days. Once your order has been placed, you will receive an email with your purchase details.
DELIVERY EXPECTATIONS:
In all instances, we will notify you of delivery times for each title using the information we have at the time of processing your order, as discussed above. Please also add the appropriate number of days it may take Sendible to deliver to you from Sydney, NSW.
If items are not readily available, then our Order Processing Team will endeavour to contact you via the email provided in your Defeat Diabetes account to discuss the time frame for these items.
Pre-Orders items will be ordered automatically unless the listed publication date changes.
An automated 'shipped' email will be sent once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse.
INSUFFICIENT AND/OR INCORRECT DELIVERY INFORMATION
Address changes and/or corrections made through your Defeat Diabetes Account will only affect future orders placed after the changes and/or corrections are made. Any changes and/or corrections for current orders must be made by contacting the Defeat Diabetes Customer Care Team as soon as possible.
(Don't forget to update your account for future orders after phoning Defeat Diabetes.)
Customers who enter addresses that are deemed incorrect and/or with insufficient details to ensure delivery may result in the following:
If Defeat Diabetes is found to be responsible for incorrectly addressing a package, it will be responsible for resending, replacing, or refunding the items not delivered or delayed, including any further cost of packaging and delivery.
Any package returned to Defeat Diabetes due to the above incorrect and/or insufficient information supplied by the customer will require an extra delivery charge of AUD$9.99 to be dispatched again to the customer (using new delivery information to be confirmed by the customer). Also, if Defeat Diabetes has incurred extra fees to retrieve the package due to incorrect or insufficient information supplied by the customer, these charges will be borne by the customer before the package can be dispatched again.
Defeat Diabetes will not cover any shipment that is materially delayed or lost and is found to have had incorrect and/or insufficient details provided by the customer. NO REFUNDS and NO STORE CREDITS are applicable.
If the package has the correct delivery information and is 'lost' by our delivery company, Defeat Diabetes will replace the items (at Defeat Diabetes's cost) or issue a store credit only after you have checked with your local Post Office as per the information in the Help Centre. If Defeat Diabetes cannot source a replacement copy, a refund will be processed for the unavailable title. If your package has not arrived within four (4) weeks of receiving the automated ‘shipping’ email, you must contact Defeat Diabetes within ten business days after the four-week period to report a ‘lost’ package; otherwise, no store credit or refund (if applicable) will be available.
Mail Redirections
Many of our Defeat Diabetes customers inform us that their Australia Post Redirections do not work with packages. Defeat Diabetes will not be responsible for replacing goods or extra costs if a redirection has failed. Please contact Customer Service before you move to ensure a current order has the updated details to minimise delays.
Please see the INSUFFICIENT AND/OR INCORRECT DELIVERY INFORMATION section in the Help Centre for more details and instructions on avoiding errors when placing your order.
CHARGING OF CREDIT CARDS
Your credit card is charged immediately for physical books and eBooks. If Defeat Diabetes cannot charge a customer's credit card due to insufficient funds or other errors, we will attempt to contact the Customer by the email address provided to rectify the issue. If the customer does not contact Defeat Diabetes to resolve the problem, the order will be cancelled. Please note that stock availability and prices may change if the time between placing the order, correcting credit card details, or making funds available is delayed.
ORDERS WITH MULTIPLE ITEMS
Customers with more than one item may be sent in multiple shipments. Defeat Diabetes holds on to items for up to six business days after the first item has been allocated to the order to include as many items in one shipment as possible. Customers shipping to addresses in Australia pay a one-off fee of $9.99 for as many shipments as required per order. If you require items to be sent before the six-business-day time frame, an additional postage charge of $9.99 will apply. Overseas orders: see below.
