If there are missing items from your delivery, then you must contact us on service@aroundthetable.com.au within 24 hours of the delivery time and we will take steps to verify and confirm any such missing items. Once we are reasonably satisfied that the item was not delivered to you, then we will provide you with a credit via the payment method used to make the purchase within a reasonable time, for the products that were charged but not delivered to you.

PRICE

From time to time we may need to revise the price of the Products however no changes will take effect to your orders without us advising you first.

After such time, we will apply the revised pricing to your existing payment details. You do not need to do anything to accept the change of price. You are under no obligation to accept the price revision and may suspend or deactivate the Services before Products are delivered under the new pricing plan. 

The current prices of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on the Site, as updated from time to time.
