REPAIR REPLACEMENT & REFUND Including limitation of Liability

You are not always entitled to a refund under ACCC guidelines. If you have a MINOR problem with an item, we will offer to repair the item if possible or, if it’s not able to be fixed within a reasonable time, we will offer a replacement if we have the item in stock or can be obtained within 21 days. A refund may be offered if it is an item we cannot obtain within this 21 day timeframe, the item is obsolete or there are ongoing issues with the make/model. A receipt/tax invoice or proof of purchase will be required to determine purchase timeframe and price of item. We will also take in to account the amount of time that has passed since the product is purchased and how the item has been used. We consider 30 days to be a reasonable timeframe to have discovered if an item is defective and happy to replace or refund within this timeframe. You may be requested to contact the manufacturer or supplier in Australia after these 30 days directly.

If you have simply changed your mind, decided you don’t like it, ordered the wrong item for your make/model, found it cheaper elsewhere or no longer have a use for it, you are not entitled to a refund. We MAY offer you a store credit but this is at our discretion. Your postage will not be refunded (if applicable). Please ensure you have the correct information when ordering items over the phone or online. This is especially relevant when purchasing grips, stocks and magazines – please refer to manufacturers websites to check and ensure its correct for you and use any stock code numbers when ordering. Special orders are FIRM SALE and will require a non refundable deposit.

ONLINE STORE AND PURCHASE

We need to get the licence number of some customers due to their state restrictions for magazines and gun parts – VIC, QLD and NSW customers. TAS customers, we are required to send parts and magazines to your nominated dealer. Grips, scopes, bipods etc does not need this info, only magazines and gun parts. WA customers, ALL items are to be sent to your dealer. Please include your current FIREARMS licence number and expiry date in the dedicated note section when ordering magazines and any parts. Email gcss@gcshooters.com.au a copy of your current firearms licence. Please do not add delivery requests or information as that needs to be given to the carrier, Australia Post. We will not be able to send your order without this information on your order form.

PAYPAL

We apologise that we are unable to offer PayPal as a payment option. As PayPal have a no firearms policy, they no longer support any sector of the industry that sells, promotes or uses Firearms at all. Please be assured that your details are secure and will not be used for marketing or sold to a third party.
We do use a secure site and payment gateway, your details are safe.

As there are many limitations and laws relating to Firearm purchases, at this stage, ALL firearm purchases must go through the ‘contact us’ tabs, direct email to GCSS and direct phone contact with GCSS and not sold though the online store. This is to ensure we have the relevant information and correct items before purchase. We make every effort to display as accurately as possible colours or images of products we keep in store or can order through third party suppliers.

For USED GUNS website listings, we use the USED GUNS key of conditions to describe the condition of the firearm. Please check their website for these explanations. We have a 3rd party load and enter the details for the listings and are not liable for any errors or mistakes on descriptions on USED GUNS. Please ensure you use a computer with high resolution to view the images. It is first in, first served on sales and, as we are not open on the weekend, it is best to call us to ensure the sale as we may not get to your internet query in time. We do our best to update items sold. We require FULL PAYMENT for any items under $701 and 50% deposit for items over $701, balance payable within 14 days or storage fees will occur. We do not send or accept information to or from our personal mobile phones so cannot send you extra pictures this way. If the 3rd party is required to come in and take extra pictures so we can email them to you, charges may apply to cover their labour and use of equipment.
