Can you return an item to
LG
? Check eligibility first

Yes, if you bought directly from the LG Online Store, you can return products under two conditions:

  • Change of mind (within 14 days): You have 14 days from purchase to return items you no longer want. The product must be unused, unopened, and with seals and packaging intact. No exceptions once opened.

  • Faulty or damaged products: If your LG item arrives defective or develops a fault (even outside the 14-day window) you’re protected under Australian Consumer Law. For major failures, you're entitled to choose between a refund or replacement.

  • No returns for opened/used items due to change of mind. Once used, LG only accepts returns if there’s a verified fault.

  • 📦 Packaging & accessories matter: Keep everything (box, accessories, manuals). This is mandatory for change-of-mind, and strongly recommended for warranty returns.

How to return an item to
LG

Here’s how to return a product to LG Australia:

  1. Contact LG Customer Care Call 1300 54 22 73 (option 5) or email obsanz@lge.com. Mention your order number and reason for return.

  2. Lodge Your Request
    LG will check if you meet the return criteria (e.g. unused, faulty). You’ll be asked to provide proof of purchase and sometimes photos/videos.

  3. Wait for Return Instructions
    Don’t send anything back without LG’s approval. Once authorised, LG will issue a return reference and instructions. Depending on the situation:

    • ✅ Prepaid label or AusPost satchel (small items)

    • ✅ Courier pickup for large appliances

    • ✅ Service centre drop-off (if within 30km)

  4. Prepare the Product
    Reset devices, remove personal data, and pack carefully, especially for change-of-mind returns, where pristine packaging is essential.

  5. Include Documentation
    Place proof of purchase, return reference, and any LG communication inside the parcel.

  6. Send or Hand Over the Product
    Use the provided label or attend the pickup. Keep proof of lodgement or tracking until the process is finalised.

📌 If you purchased from a retailer (e.g. JB Hi-Fi), return via the retailer. For warranty issues, you can choose either LG or the retailer.

When my LG fridge stopped working, I spent weeks chasing answers. I lost all our food and ended up renting a fridge just to get by while waiting for parts that never seemed to arrive. It’s not just the cost — the runaround made everything harder for my family. - Lara

After my LG fridge failed, I was told repairs were covered, but no one followed up for weeks. I lost all my food, had to buy another fridge, and got offered only a partial refund. I just wanted LG to take responsibility and make things right. - Carly-Sue

My fridge stopped working just before Christmas, and every promised repair date fell through. It’s been months of calls and no resolution. I didn’t want compensation — just the fridge fixed or replaced, but nothing happened. - Ron

Customer experiences with
LG
returns

5-year refund win: A customer had a washer fail after 5 years. LG refunded the entire purchase despite being out of warranty, highlighting how LG sometimes goes above and beyond.

Slow refund frustration: One buyer of a faulty high-end TV said LG’s refund process took weeks, requiring several follow-ups. They eventually got their refund, but not without pushing.

Fridge failure with a newborn: A mum had to call seven times to get her faulty fridge replaced. Only after threatening ACCC escalation did LG agree. She got a replacement and food spoilage compensation, but it took effort.
