It is your responsibility to review at point of online checkout to ensure that all details are correct.

Our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the consumer laws in Australia. You are entitled to reject, have the item replaced or refunded for a major fault should the goods fail to meet the purpose intended. If there is a minor failure with the product, you are entitled, at the election of Gallus & Rea, to have the product repaired within a reasonable time, have the goods replaced or be refunded the purchase price of the goods.

We will dispatch your order once all items are in stock. We use various third party courier networks to offer the most competitive rate available and suitable courier for the type of goods. Expected delivery times vary depending on location. 

In Stock – We carry a limited range of our products in store and in our local warehouse. If all your items are in stock at time of purchase, we usually dispatch within 5 days from of all items being in stock.

Our distribution centre is kept well stocked with our favourites and yours. Products in stock in our distribution centre generally take about 3-4 weeks before they are dispatched to you. Most of these items are larger in size and sometimes need to come via our local warehouse before we can send to you. 

Back Order and Order In – If we have insufficient stock to complete your order, the products will be placed on backorder. The backorder leadtime will be advised once your order is placed. Leadtimes are approximate and are based on the best information we have at the time of your order.  Delays may occur with manufacturing and shipping which are outside our control.  Should this occur, we will ensure you are updated as soon as possible.

Made to Order – We specialise in choice allowing you to personalise your furniture for you. Made to Order products will generally take several months to arrive in our warehouse, depending on the supplier. At busy times such as Christmas, these leadtimes can extend further.  At the time of order we will quote an approximate ETA.  

In-store Only – The options for some of our products are extensive and require special service that only our experienced consultants can provide in store.  

Many of our products are hand made and may vary in size, weight and colour and minor variations of up to 3% from the sample products in store on product specifications. Gallus & Rea cannot guarantee that upholstered products will match the sample swatch due to dye lot variation.

Timber products are sold with the understanding that each piece is unique with a variation of colour, knots and grain and gum veins. Natural timber and natural stone is beautiful, unique and varied and are sold with the understanding that each piece will have a unique look and variation in colour. Consistency is only achieved in man made products. 

The colour of an item may display differently on your computer monitor, phone or other device from the true natural colour of the fabric/leather/timber or other material.  In some cases, it is possible to request a sample swatch prior to ordering; even then, there may be minor variations in colour. While all efforts are made to provide you with accurate colour descriptions there may be a variety of reasons why there are colour inconsistencies.  This may include, but is not limited to dye lot variations, timber grain and density for example.

Cancelling your order – Please choose carefully. We don’t normally give refunds for change or mind or wrong decisions. If you would like to enquire regarding cancellation of your order under these Terms & Conditions of Sale, please contact us immediately on 02 6021 5361 or email sales@gallus-rea.com.au. We cannot guarantee cancellation if the order has already been fulfilled or if it falls outside our cancellation terms with our suppliers. In any event, if we do agree to cancel your order, we reserve the right to charge an administration fee of 30% of the purchase total.

Damaged on arrival - We take special care in packaging your orders to protect them during transit. In the unfortunate circumstance an item has arrived damaged, is faulty or broken, please contact us and once verified we will help arrange a replacement or repair for you.  As part of our process of verification we will require photos of the packaging and of the item.

Our delivery team will inform you on arrival should they decide this to be the case.
