To be issued with this credit, the garment must be lodged inside a post office on the same business day received, or by 12pm on the next business day if received after 2pm. This credit will have a 6 month expiry.

1B.4. If Australia Post attempts delivery, and cannot deliver due to inadequate access to the property (eg locked gate, ect), then JM WEEKEND RENTAL is not held responsible for any delays that follow.
