All Personal Information submitted on albek.co is secured using the latest Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) premium encryption technology.

 Credit card payments are processed through payment gateways including Shopify, Paypal and Afterpay; albek.co does not store any of your credit card or financial information on our servers, therefore ensuring the highest level of protection for you.

 We collect information from buyers on our site during online purchasing, to enable a faster and more streamlined purchasing experience. The personal information we collect will typically be used to assist albek.co in fulfilling your order as quickly as possible, as well as offer you special promotional offers and exciting product opportunities from time to time. 

Payment & Shipping

All purchases must be paid in full prior to shipping and we reserve the right to cancel any orders in the event we suspect the payment method to be fraudulent.

To protect credit card holders from fraud we use state of the art fraud prevention systems. If your selected payment type triggers one of these systems, it may put your order on hold and instigate a verification system to confirm the validity of your order. As part of these systems we may make a small charge to the credit card used to pay for your order, which is immediately refunded. We will then ask you to supply details of this transaction to verify you are the true card account holder.

By purchasing from albek.co you are entering into a contract and may not rescind payment via PayPal or Credit Card charge back in the event of late or damaged delivery.

 While we make every effort to deliver all items to you quickly as possible, we are not responsible for delays caused by our global couriers.

 Some products we offer for sale may be pre-order items or items that are not immediately available for delivery. We supply an estimated dispatch date and will generally inform you of excessive delays but are not liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by any delay.

 We make all efforts to ensure that goods are well packaged, so they arrive undamaged. Please contact our customer service team hello@albek.co  if you have any delivery problems or if the package has been damaged in transit.

 In the event that you receive a faulty product we will send a replacement item (subject to availability) once we receive the return. A Freepost address will be provided for use within Australia Only.

Stock Availability

Many of the items we sell are produced to limited quantities and re-manufacture may not be possible. While we endeavour to ensure all items are in stock at time of advertising there may be occasions when an item has sold out.

In the event that an item (either promotional or regular stock) has sold out we may, at our total discretion, do one of the following: - (a) offer a rain check on that item, (b) offer an acceptable substitute product or (c) take other corrective action.

Returns, Exchanges and Warranty

Domestic:

Orders for in-stock items will ship within 1–2 business days.

***Please allow for up to 7 days processing and shipping during peak holiday season***

If there's a problem with your order and we anticipate a delay we will contact you through email. A tracking number is automatically generated and then sent to your email given when we process your order. Domestic orders will ship the same day if received before 2:00PM Australian Eastern Standard Time M-F if item is in-stock. Depending on where you're located, road freight shipping generally takes 3-7 working days for delivery from time of shipment.

International:

Worldwide shipping should be used for orders outside Australia. International orders will need to be verified and this may take us several days. We will only ship internationally to the recipient address on file with your credit card company. This will be verified by a phone call to the issuing bank. Our flat rate is for the shipping cost only and does not include duties, taxes, or other import charges levied by the importing country. For DHL orders, please allow an extra day for order processing and any duties, taxes, or brokerage fees will need to be paid by the customer upon delivery.

Exclusions

Unfortunately Albek cannot ship to PO Boxes globally.

Unfortunately Albek cannot be held responsible for damage or loss that occurs to goods after they have been delivered to a freight mail forwarding service. Once they are delivered to the Freight Forwarder address or the BFPO location, we are unable to replace or refund goods that are missing or have been received damaged.
