Prices FoneShop always seeks to list Products with the most competitive prices.

MRRP - Manufacturer's Recommended Retail Price The MRRP is the sale price
suggested by the manufacturer or distributor of merchandise. The Manufacturer's
Recommended Retail Price (MRRP) is not mandatory, although manufacturers and
distributors may suggest that retail outlets maintain a price within the range
of their suggestion. In cases where a product is an exclusive offer available
only on FoneShop.com.au, MRRP may indicate the retail price of a product with
similar features and specifications. In some cases, an MRRP price may be
provided by a manufacturer who manufactures and supplies on the foreign market.
In these cases, the suggested retail price (usually a US dollar amount) is
converted to the Australian dollar rate that prevails at the time of listing.
Customers should note that the MRRP is the applicable indicative price at the
time of listing, and may not reflect current market conditions. Customers are
encouraged to compare prices via comparative price shopping engines online and
through various other means in order to find the best deal. MRRP is not the
same as 'street price' - Street Price can be broadly defined as the price at
which the item actually sells in the free market. FoneShop.com.au is committed
to providing the very best prices and unbeatable value to its customers. We
welcome feedback and notice of price rollbacks in the market.
Supply Of Your Products Subject to these Terms and Conditions, we will supply to
you the Products indicated on your Order Confirmation. When your Order items
have been dispatched, we will email you to confirm shipment of each item
including a tracking number for each item.
Delivery Of Your Products Delivery time takes up to 15 working days from the
date your payment is received. Where you have purchased a Product that is
dispatched from our overseas warehouse, delivery time after payment processing
may take up to 3 weeks. In all instances estimated delivery times will be
advised after check out for your Product. FoneShop makes every effort to
deliver your Product according to the estimated delivery times provided by
FoneShop at checkout. The estimated delivery times are in business days (Monday
through Friday) excluding Public holidays. Although every effort is made to
ship your Order according to the estimated delivery times provided, estimated
ship times may change due to changes in supply or circumstances beyond our
control. If your Product has not arrived after the estimated delivery time,
please contact us. We encourage you to visit the "My Account" section on our
website to view the delivery status of your Products. Unless otherwise agreed
by us, we will deliver your Products to the address indicated on your Order
Confirmation. If no-one is available to take delivery of your Products, our
carrier will leave a card requesting you to telephone them to arrange a
suitable time and date for delivery. We will use our reasonable efforts to
deliver your Products to you within the estimated delivery time indicated on
your Order Confirmation; however, we do not guarantee that we will deliver
within this time frame. Title and risk of loss to all Products will pass to you
on delivery.
Your Rights To Return A Product No refunds, credit or replacements are offered
if you have changed your mind about the product, make an incorrect choice, or
failed to verify and accurately provide information when placing an Order. Dead
On Arrival Products - "DOA" A FoneShop Product is considered DOA if it shows
symptoms of a failure, or is discovered to be broken when first taken from its
packaging. A FoneShop Customer Service member will provisionally determine
whether the Product is DOA. Where a Product is provisionally determined as DOA
we will arrange to replace the Product. Refunds will only be offered where a
replacement Product can not be provided. Where FoneShop has provisionally
determined that a Product is DOA, return shipping will be arranged at the
expense of FoneShop. If the Product is deemed by Customer Services NOT to be
DOA, FoneShop may in its absolute discretion refuse to replace the Product or
offer you a refund for the Product. When a Product is replaced, your
replacement Product becomes your property and the returned DOA Product becomes
our property. When a refund is given, the returned DOA Product becomes our
property. FoneShop reserves the right to test any returned DOA Product. If the
condition of the Product was misrepresented to us by the customer, FoneShop
will impose a $35 handling and administration fee.
Product Problems After Delivery If your item arrives DOA (Dead On Arrival) or
you find a defect arises after delivery and a valid claim is received by
Customer Service within 30 days of delivery, FoneShop will exchange the Product
where possible, or refund you the purchase price of the Product. Should you
contact us outside the 30 day period customer service management will consider
each claim on a case by case basis on its merits. Where we agree to replace the
Product or refund you the purchase price of the Product, you must first return
the defective Product to us. You will be obliged to pay for the return of the
Product if the item is sent after 30 days from dispatch. We will make
arrangements with you for the return of the Product. The delivery time for
replacing the Product will be the same as stated for the original Product.

issuance of the RAN. All Products must be packed in the original, unmarked
packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration

you with a refund. Where you received a DOA Product by Australia Post eParcel,
Customer Service will email you a PDF docket containing a RAN which you must

Office. Where you have received a DOA Product by our courier service, we will
make arrangements with our courier service for collection of the Product, and
will notify you when they will collect the Product from you. When a Replacement

our expense after we have received your returned DOA Product. The delivery time
for the replacement Product will be the same as stated for the original DOA
Product. Replacement Products are provided with the same Limited Warranty as
the DOA Product. When a Refund is arranged: Refunds include all shipping and
associated costs for the DOA Product. No refund will be given to you until
FoneShop has received the DOA Product from you. Refunds will be issued by
cheque or a credit to "Your Account" with FoneShop. Where a credit is organised

time. Some Products - Manufacturer Only Warranty Some Products sold through
