Home try on
Yes, you can use a discount code, but it must be applied at the time of the initial order. Enter your discount code at checkout before completing your order details. The discount will be reflected in the final amount you pay for any items you decide to keep.
When you use the Free Home Try-On service, you will be asked to provide payment details at checkout. We will then authorize your credit card for the order amount to ensure the payment method is valid. This is not a charge, and no funds will be taken from your account at this stage. The authorization simply holds the potential total cost of the order until you decide which items you want to keep. The charge will appear as pending in your account, but not paid.
You will only be charged for the items you choose to keep after finalising your order through the Customer Portal.
Please note this service is currently only available in Australia and for our full priced items (no sale).

- For packages presumed to be lost, the customer must file an order issue with us no sooner than 5 days after the last tracking update for domestic shipments (7 days for international shipments). This must be done within 30 days from the last checkpoint.
- After 48 hours have passed from the estimated delivery date and no delivery or update has been made, we will consider the order to be "lost" and assist with the next steps.
- If the carrier cannot deliver the package due to an invalid address or other unexpected delivery barriers, we do not cover this. The customer will be referred to the retailer.
- If only part of the order arrives, and there is no evidence of tampering, we do not cover the order issue. The customer will be referred to us. However, if a single order is being shipped in multiple packages and one package does not arrive, we will cover the order issue and reorder or refund the value of the undelivered package. If we forget to ship an item from the customer’s order, the customer needs to reach out to us to have the missing items fulfilled.
- We do not cover packages labelled return to sender because the order has been sent back to the retailer. Items are returned to sender when a customer provides an invalid or undeliverable address or refuses a delivery. However, at our discretion, we may cover the order issue if the returned item is perishable or if the retailer is unable to reuse it.
- We cannot cover when a customer’s order is stuck in international borders/customs. The customer’s next step is to pay the customs fees in order to receive the package. If we replace something the customer has already paid customs on, under our discretion, we can approve and pay customs the second time.
- If the customer's order is marked as unfulfilled or unshipped, the order has not been fulfilled yet by us. Merchants Shipping Protection is not yet in action because the order has not shipped.
- If the customer is filing an order issue the same day that the package was marked as delivered, at our discretion, we may ask you to wait 5 days. Carriers (FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc.) sometimes prematurely mark the package as delivered when it’s still in transit.
- For packages marked "delivered" yet not received, order issues must be filed 5 days after the "delivery date" but no longer than 30 days to ensure it was not mis-delivered or easily found around the premises.
- If the customer inputs the correct address at checkout and the package was delivered to the wrong address, we consider this as stolen, and we will replace the order on behalf of the customer.
- For damaged orders, order issues must be filed within 30 days of the delivery date. If the customer received a broken item and needs to dispose of it (i.e. shattered glass), the customer needs to check their city ordinances and dispose of it properly. The customer does not need to ship it back to us unless we indicate otherwise.
- We hope this information helps you understand the terms and conditions for using Merchants Shipping Protection. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us here: support@merchantsofthesun.com.au
