Consumer guarantees (Australian Consumer Law)

Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), consumers have guarantees for goods and services that cannot be excluded. These include that goods are of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, match descriptions, and that services are performed with due care and skill.

Our products are perishable floral goods. If an item is faulty, significantly not as described, or does not meet consumer guarantees, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund depending on the circumstance. For perishable goods the remedy will depend on age and evidence of the fault.

  • Report problems within a reasonable time — we recommend contacting us within 48 hours for flower quality issues.
  • We do not exclude or limit your rights under the ACL.

Quick guidance

If you believe your bouquet is faulty:

  1. Take photos of the bouquet and packaging.
  2. Contact Carunek at carunek@hotmail.com or call +61 47 328‑45‑19.
  3. Provide order number, photos and preferred remedy (refund/replacement).

Refunds, cancellations & delivery

Below is a summary of our commercial terms. For full terms consult your order confirmation and our sales terms sent with invoices.

We offer refunds or replacements where goods are faulty or not as described. Due to the perishable nature of flowers, refunds are assessed case-by-case. If the product has been used or shows natural wilting consistent with age, a remedy may be limited. Shipping costs are generally not refundable unless the fault is ours.

Orders may be changed or cancelled up to 24 hours before scheduled dispatch. For same-day or time‑sensitive orders, cancellations are generally not possible. Charges for materials and labour may be retained for cancellations within 24 hours.

Delivery costs and timeframes are set out at checkout. Risk passes to the purchaser upon delivery. If a delivery attempt fails, we may leave a card and attempt re-delivery where feasible; additional charges may apply. Please ensure delivery address and recipient details are correct.

Prices displayed are in AUD and include GST where applicable. Payment is processed at the time of order. We accept the payment methods shown at checkout. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors.
