Aramex return timeframes and item conditions
Timing is key for a smooth refund:
- Return window: Set by the retailer (usually within 30 days).
- Pickup scheduling: Aramex operates Mon–Fri only. Links expire after ~48 hours.
- Transit times: Typically 2–5 business days nationwide; allow extra during peak periods.
- Condition requirements: Return items in original packaging and resellable condition.

Who pays for Aramex return shipping?
Good news — you generally don’t pay at pickup. Here’s how costs work:
- Free returns: If the retailer offers free returns, they cover the Aramex fee.
- Change-of-mind returns: The retailer may deduct a flat fee (e.g., $10–$12) from your refund.
- Faulty items: Return shipping is always covered by the retailer under Australian Consumer Law.
- Don’t pay drivers: Never hand cash or card details to an Aramex courier, all charges go to the retailer’s account.
If you don’t use the official label, you’ll be acting as the sender and paying your own shipping, so always follow the retailer’s instructions.
Aramex refunds after a return - how and when you’ll get your money back

- Processing time: Usually within 5–10 business days of receipt.

- Notifications: You’ll get an email once your refund is issued.
- Partial refunds: If return shipping is deducted, your refund will be less that amount.
