When shopping for those special Mother’s Day gifts, it’s good to know Australia Consumer Law is there to back you up – if things are faulty, turn out to be not fit for purpose, or the wrong thing arrives in the post. What’s not covered are changes of mind, and that includes cases where mum doesn’t like the gift or it doesn’t fit! In those cases, talk to the store about their return policies as they still may give you a refund or replacement if the goods are returned in good order. Gift cards are a good option so mum can get what she really wants. They now have to be valid for a minimum of 3 years, but still encourage mum to go shopping sooner than later, just in case the business closes up shop for some reason. And of course, be careful if you’re shopping on line – use reputable online shops and check consumer reviews. Listen here for more information and tips to help make your Mother’s Day gift successful!
