Well you know that a sale item is in general not something you can return or receive refund for; I think this is simply something we should accept as costumer
Occasionally stores will offer a credit (depending on the item), and some won’t refund for change of mind. If it’s a faulty item, they’re legally obliged to, whether it was on sale or not.
Not lately, but most stores tell you before you go to the cashier that all sales are not refundable or exchangeable , which I think is rubbish . I am always careful of sales because sometimes you do get bad stock like leftovers etc, so as a consumer just take care , don’t rush and only buy if you think it won’t be returned . Ring ACCC if you are really concerned and this happens to you often .
I got some games n new skylanders trap in oct for xmas from eb games.my son behavior was so bad i wanted to return it only to find out they only have 7 days return. I had receipt and unopened, they will not accept it. There were no written words saying changd if mind 7 days to return. Worst i find is that if i get a gift that i want to change, you really need the recipt. Most shops now have few days if you change ur mind. Its so annoying.
Thank you Mom’s members for all of your wonderful answers. I returned the item and was prepared to put my case forward and…no need! They were so apologetic and only glanced at the receipt and I received a refund. I was initially concerned as I had been told that this particular store did not refund on sale items. The item was clearly broken on opening! Feeling quite relieved. Will keep all of your tips and answers for future reference! Thanks CHERZ for the link to the factsheet. Such a helpful and kind community!

Hi, returning sale items shouldn’t be a problem as long as you have the receipt. The store will refund what you paid. However if you don’t have the receipt, most stores will pay you/provide store voucher for whatever the item scans for at that time. Each store has their own policy when it comes to returning without receipt so worth checking their website.
on Sale items maybe, but I would have thought you could at least get a store credit of the same value. I would guess they are worried about people paying the sale price then trying to return it when the item price goes back to normal.
