Waiting on a Cadbury refund? Let’s make sure you get it.
Can you get a refund from Cadbury? Check eligibility first
You’re eligible for a refund or replacement from Cadbury if there’s a genuine product issue, like a defect, contamination, incorrect filling, or poor packaging. Cadbury adheres to Australian Consumer Law and typically responds with either a refund, voucher, or replacement when the product is faulty or not as advertised.
If you bought directly from Cadbury (e.g. online), order errors or damaged goods are also refundable. But change-of-mind, flavour preference, or issues from improper storage (e.g. melted chocolate left in the car) aren’t covered.
How to get a refund from Cadbury
- Gather product details – including best-before date, batch code, purchase location and date.
- Contact Cadbury – via cadbury.com.au/contact-us or call 1800 034 241.
- Describe the issue clearly and attach photos if possible.
- Submit the form or speak to a rep. Cadbury may follow up for more info.
- Resolution – expect a voucher, replacement product or refund confirmation within a few days.
Cadbury’s refund timeframe - how long it takes
Cadbury usually responds within 2–5 business days. If they send a voucher or replacement by mail, allow 1–2 weeks for delivery. Direct refunds (where applicable) typically take 3–5 days once processed. If you return to a store, refunds are usually instant.
Cadbury’s refund methods - how you'll get your money back
