Mecca

refund?

Mecca offers a generous 90-day change-of-mind return policy, allowing you to return or exchange most products as long as you meet their simple conditions.

✔ 90-Day Return Window

You’re eligible for a return within 90 days if:

• You have proof of purchase (receipt, e-receipt, Beauty Loop history, or gift receipt)
  
  
• The item is in new, unused, unopened, and resalable condition

✔ Opened or Lightly Sampled Products

If you’ve opened or lightly tested the item:

• Refunds → only if unopened
  
  
• Exchanges or store credit → if lightly used
  

Mecca allows gently sampled products to be returned for credit or exchange, which is more flexible than most competitors.

❌ Items Not Eligible for Change-of-Mind Refunds

These items cannot be returned once opened (unless faulty):

• Sexual wellness products (must be unused and sealed)
  
  
• Any product marked as non-returnable at purchase
  
  
• Gift cards (non-refundable and not exchangeable)
  
  

✔ Faulty, Damaged or Not-As-Described Products

Under Australian Consumer Law, you're always entitled to a remedy when a product:

• Has a defect
  
  
• Is unsafe
  
  
• Is incorrectly described
  
  
• Doesn’t function as expected
  
  

For major issues: you choose refund or replacement

For minor issues: Mecca may repair, replace, or provide credit

You can return faulty products at any time within their expected lifespan.
