Shipping
All orders under $40 will incur a flat rate shipping fee of $9.95
For orders that are of total value of $40 or more, free shipping will be applied.
Free shipping applies to all coffee (excluding wholesale accounts) and select products.
We will utilise the most cost efficient service, based on the delivery address (i.e. metro physical address or PO Box).
Services include, but are not limited to, couriers (such as Sendle) or Australia Post.
Tracking information will be provided to the ‘billing’ email address provided at checkout.
It is at the discretion of Rebel Alliance Roasters as to which carrier service is selected.
Items excluded from free shipping
Any purchase of coffee beans (roasted or green) for a total value of $40 ore more will qualify for free shipping, regardless of the other items in your cart.
Some items are excluded from free shipping options, this is due to the nature of the item such as size or weight.
In all instances, we will detail on the product item page as to whether it is included in free shipping. If the product does not state ‘Free shipping’ then it will not qualify for the free shipping option (unless the purchase also includes coffee beans).
Items excluded from free shipping will, for the most part, be offered with a flat rate shipping schedule or local pickup by agreement with us.
Product Quality
We’re happy when our customers are happy! Here at Rebel Alliance Roasters it’s important to us to optimise the customer experience.
Roasted coffee is known to degrade quickly. Oxidisation occurs from the moment the coffee has left the roaster, so our coffee is packed in specialty packaging to lock in freshness. It is our focus to send the freshest of products out to you, our valued customer.
While freshly roasted coffee has a theoretical shelf life of many months, it really starts to become ‘stale’ within six to eight weeks of being roasted – this is one of the reasons we suggest home enthusiasts consider purchasing 250g bags at a time.
Over that short period, many traits such as aroma, body, crema, and sweetness of the coffee start to deteriorate. These are the traits in which Rebel Alliance Roasters pride ourselves on.
If you are in any way dissatisfied with your purchase, please contact us in the first instance. We will happily work with you to troubleshoot any issues and/or reach resolution.
Because our primary focus is the positive customer experience, we have the following practices in place to reduce the likelihood of any issues:
Postage and transport handling
To minimise likelihood of missing parcels or other postage issues, all purchases are sent via tracked post and the applicable tracking number is provided to you.
Coffee is packed in specialised, durable packaging which is heat-sealed and further sealed with a zipper system, to reduce likelihood of any damage in-transit. Brewing equipment and accessories are shipped with care in the applicable manufacturer’s packaging.
Rebel Alliance Roasters do not accept responsibility for any mishandling of packaging during transportation after it has left our business premises. We recommend you consider postage insurance at your cost if this is a concern for you. To add postage insurance, please leave a comment in your order and we will update the cost on your invoice accordingly.
Mistake in order
If you accidentally order the wrong product, please contact us immediately. Where possible, we will resolve this prior to posting the incorrect order and avoid any need for return postage.
In the unlikely event you are sent the incorrect coffee product, please notify us immediately. We will work with you to arrange for the correct product to be sent as soon as possible (usually within two business days). If we are not notified within a reasonable period and/or you have consumed some/all of the incorrect product, it is at our discretion as to whether we will send the correct product out as a replacement or offer a store credit towards future purchases. Any store credit/s would be at a value determined by Rebel Alliance Roasters.
Refunds and credits
Ultimately, we are all here for the same love of coffee, our job here at Rebel Alliance Roasters is to keep you caffeinated and your taste buds happy.
If we are unable to reach an agreeable resolution, it is at our discretion to issue a refund or store credit to you.
Any store credit issued will remain on your account for twelve months from the date of credit being applied, or until you use the credit, whichever comes first. If you do not use the full value of a store credit within the one transaction, any balance remaining will continue to be available to you until absorbed in full (or the twelve months from applied date, whichever comes first).
If the decision is made to refund a purchase in part or in full, refunds will be issued to the payment method used in the original transaction.
Returns
All items must be returned in their original packaging, with all associated accessories.
Roasted and green coffee can only be returned if the bag remains sealed.
Some items are excluded from any refund or returns policy, these items are listed below:
- Gift cards
Shipping returns
To return your product, you should mail your product to the address provided on your shipping notification.
You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.
If you are returning more expensive items, you may consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
