Terms & Conditions

Placing Online Order

a) Before completing your order online or paying via a payment link, please ensure that you’ve selected the correct product details — including the item, size, colour, quantity, and any other relevant options. Some products have multiple choices available, and not all fields are required to submit an order. It’s important to carefully review the product listing to make sure you’re ordering exactly what you want.

If an order is submitted without making necessary selections (where options are available but not chosen), it will be considered incomplete and cannot be processed. In such cases, our customer service team will reach out to clarify your request and help you finalize the correct order.

We reserve the right to cancel any order that is submitted without properly selecting the required options as outlined above.

Please note:

  • All images displayed on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Manufacturers and suppliers may update product designs, shapes, or sizes without prior notice. Color swatches shown online may slightly differ from the actual product due to screen settings or printing variations.

  • If you are unsure about any details, we encourage you to contact us by phone or email before placing your order to avoid confusion.

  • Invoices will include reference images for the items ordered; these images are indicative only and may not exactly match the actual product you receive.

In some situations, such as stock shortages, incorrect pricing, production delays, missed deadlines, unexpected charges, or other unforeseen issues, we may not be able to complete your order. In such cases, we will offer an alternative solution at our discretion. If necessary, a full refund will be issued within 30 days of your order date.

b) If a customer fails to review the quotation, order confirmation, or tax invoice and proceeds to order incorrect item(s), Active Office Furniture will not be held responsible for any resulting costs. No corrections or remedies will be undertaken without written confirmation from the customer.

Should a correction be approved, Active Office Furniture will assist in rectifying the order; however, all associated costs — including but not limited to picking, packing, delivery arrangements, and any other processing or handling fees incurred — will be the responsibility of the customer.

Shipping & Delivery

We aim to deliver your order within 2–5 business days for standard areas, and 4–7 business days for rural or regional locations from the date it’s shipped. Please allow up to 14 business days in case of minor freight delays.

Shipping dates depend on product availability: items in our showroom or warehouse can be shipped sooner, while custom-made products in Australia may take 3–4 weeks for production before they can be dispatched.

Delivery times may also be affected by busy holiday periods, extreme weather, flooding, bushfires, border restrictions, or COVID-19 regulations. For rural and regional areas, local couriers handle the final leg of delivery, which can sometimes add extra time.

Customers needing urgent delivery are encouraged to call us or use the Contact Us form. Our sales team can check stock and provide an accurate estimate before you place your order.

These timeframes are based on average estimates from our trusted carriers, and we’ll do our best to get your order to you as quickly as possible.

Returns Policy
  • We want you to feel confident and completely satisfied when shopping with us. However, we understand that sometimes things don’t go as planned. If you experience any issues with your order, please email us at Show email . We aim to respond within 1 business day with a solution or an update on your case.

    Claims for missing parts or damage must be made within 5 business days of delivery. Please allow 5–10 business days for us to assess and approve any replacements for transit-related damage.
