Ah Bunnings Warehouse. The place we can always count on for a saucy snag, whacky DIY material, and our Dad to get lost in for exactly 1.5 hours.
You know what else Bunnings is good for? Helping us achieve the gorgeous plant aesthetic in our apartment. Sadly for us (and every other plant parent) we suck at keeping our plant babies alive. We forget to water them for a day then suddenly a month has gone by and they’re not doing so well.
But Bunnings, bless them, has a fix for that too. The retailer lets customers return dead plants as part of their “perfect plant promise.”
The policy is news to us, but it’s actually been around for a while.
As part of the “perfect plant promise”, shoppers can return their dead plants within 12-months of buying them for a full refund or replacement. All plants (not seedlings) which die in the first year are included.
“All our plants (except seedlings) are guaranteed for 12 months. If you’re not 100% happy, return your plant (with receipt or tax invoice) and we’ll refund it,” the website reads.
Like all refunds, the plant must be examined by a Bunnings employee before being returned. To make sure no silly business is going on.
The refunds are given on a case-by-case basis which means there’s no limit to how many times you can neglect your plants and swap them for a new one. Great news if your green thumb isn’t so green.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go to Bunnings Warehouse to buy those fiddle leaf figs we’ve always been too scared to commit to.
