Refund policy

Return Policy

At Tiny Sprout, we want you to feel complete confidence in the softness, quality, and safety of your baby items. Our return policy is structured in full accordance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Due to strict pediatric hygiene protocols, infant oral contact, and sensitive newborn health standards, please review our return conditions below carefully.

1. Return Window

Customers have the right to request a return within 30 days from the documented date of delivery. Return requests submitted after this 30-day period will not be accepted for change of mind.

2. Change of Mind Eligibility & Conditions

To qualify for a valid return and subsequent refund under our change-of-mind policy, your items must strictly adhere to the following criteria:

  • The baby clothing, swaddle, sleep sack, or teether must be completely unworn, unwashed, unused, and in its original, factory-sealed condition.
  • Pediatric Hygiene & Teething Safety Standards: For newborn biological safety and hygiene protection, teething toys, pacifier clips, and feeding items cannot be returned if the inner sterile seal, blister pouch, or tamper-evident wrapping has been unsealed or compromised. We strictly cannot accept items showing saliva marks, milk stains, food spots, baby dander, or laundry detergent scents.
  • Baby rompers and sleepwear must retain all original branding tags attached, with snap buttons and zippers pristine and unfastened.
  • All original packaging, organic cotton storage pouches, gift ribbon ties, and product safety cards must remain fully intact within the return parcel.
  • Items showing signs of home wear, washing, nursery room odors, pet hair, or opened hygiene seals will be strictly rejected during our quality inspection.

3. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) Guarantee

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

4. Return Shipping Costs

For change-of-mind returns, the customer is responsible for paying all shipping costs associated with returning their items. Return shipping costs are non-refundable. We recommend using a trackable shipping service and purchasing parcel insurance, as Tiny Sprout cannot guarantee receipt of returned items without tracking proof.

5. How to Initiate a Return

  1. Contact our customer concierge team at support@tinysprout.store within 30 days of delivery. Please include your order number, item model/size, and reason for return.
  2. Our support team will review your request and provide you with an authorized return warehouse address, an RMA number, and specialized hygienic repackaging instructions.
  3. Do not mail your items back to the address printed on the original shipping label or our corporate administrative address. Returns sent to unauthorized addresses cannot be processed.

Refund Policy

This Refund Policy details our procedures regarding order cancellations and the financial resolution of authorized returns.

1. Order Cancellations and Modifications

  • If you need to cancel or modify your order (such as changing a baby garment size, colorway, or delivery address), contact us immediately at support@tinysprout.store.
  • We enforce a strict 1 - 2 hour cancellation window from the exact time of purchase.
  • Once this window has passed, your order is automatically transmitted to our automated fulfillment network and cannot be altered or canceled. If you no longer want the items, you will need to accept delivery and follow our standard Return Policy.

2. Inspection and Approval Process

Once your returned package arrives at our designated logistics facility, our infant safety quality team will examine each item to verify compliance with our return conditions (intact factory security seals, unwashed organic fibers, zero milk/saliva marks, attached tags, and pristine retail packaging). Following inspection, we will send you an email notifying you whether your refund has been approved or rejected.

3. Refund Timing

If your return is approved, your refund will be processed immediately. The funds will automatically be credited back to your original payment method (e.g., Credit Card, PayPal) within 3 to 10 business days.

4. Delayed or Missing Refunds

If you have received an approval notice but have not seen the credit reflected in your account:

  • Check your bank account or credit card statement again.
  • Contact your bank or financial institution, as processing times vary before funds officially post.
  • If you have completed these steps and still have not received your refund, please contact us at support@tinysprout.store for further assistance.
