Return & Refund Policy

• Dimensions of the goods available to purchase are clearly visible on the website, as is the class of hazardous substances that can be safely stored
• It is the responsibility of the customer to know the class and quantity of hazardous materials they will be storing – and therefore, that the size and type of storage unit being purchased is fit for purpose

• Businesses storing hazardous materials have the responsibility to know the requirements as set up by their local authorities (Local Councils, Worksafe, EPA, etc).  Wholesale Safety Storage Australia will always assist where possible and provide comprehensive product information to customers before committing to a purchase.  However, final responsibility lies with the customer prior to purchasing
