What’s the difference between returning an online purchase and an in-store purchase?Updated 3 days ago
The return process is different depending on whether your item was purchased online or in-store. Understanding the correct pathway ensures your return is processed smoothly and without delays.
Returning an online purchase
Online orders must be returned through the Bauerfeind Online Returns Portal: AU Returns Portal
