ORDERS & AMENDMENTS

CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY ORDER ONCE IT’S PLACED?
If you need to update your shipping address or amend an item, please contact Client Services at info@christopheresber.com.au immediately.
While we will do our best to accommodate changes, we cannot guarantee adjustments once your order is in processing.

For full details, please refer to our Duties & Taxes Policy.

GIFT CARDS & CREDIT NOTES

HOW DO I USE A GIFT CARD ONLINE?
Gift Cards can be redeemed exclusively at christopheresber.com by entering your unique code at checkout. If the total value of your order exceeds the Gift Card balance, you will be prompted to pay the difference using any of the accepted payment methods listed on the site. If your purchase total is less than the Gift Card balance, the remaining amount will stay on the original card and may be used toward future orders, subject to the original expiry date.

CAN I USE A GIFT CARD AND ANOTHER PAYMENT METHOD?
Yes, if your order exceeds the value of your Gift Card, the remaining balance can be paid using a secondary payment method accepted on our site.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I RETURN AN ITEM PURCHASED WITH A GIFT CARD?
Returns involving Gift Card payments are handled as follows:

– If your order was paid for entirely with a Gift Card, your refund will be issued as a new Gift Card Credit, retaining the original expiry date.
– If your Gift Card has expired by the time your return is processed, the Gift Card Credit will be valid for one (1) month from the date of issue.
– If you used a combination of Gift Card and another payment method, the refund will be split proportionally.

WHAT IS THE EXPIRY DATE ON MY GIFT CARD OR CREDIT NOTE?
– Purchased Gift Cards: Valid for a minimum of 3 years from the date of issue.
– Gift Card Credits issued in place of a refund for faulty goods: Valid for 3 years from the date of issue.
