WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENCES IN PRICE BETWEEN MAX BLACK & OTHER STORES?

The reasons for price differences are many and varied however the biggest difference between Max Black and the majority of online stores is we maintain a beautiful and very real store here in Newtown, Sydney.

We employ intelligent conscientious individuals, train them to the highest standards in the industry, and provide a space where you can access products for, learn about, discover and explore your sexuality.

We don’t play the discount game online and we do promise to provide an outstanding experience, every time. We are real people you can call, ask advice of and trust. We only sell genuine brand items sourced from Australian distributors where possible.

I FOUND AN ITEM CHEAPER ELSEWHERE, CAN I GET A REFUND OR RETURN?

Max Black does not offer a price guarantee. Whilst we understand that you may be disappointed, we are not obligated to offer refunds, part refunds, exchanges or returns on items you find elsewhere at a different price.

We’ve seen hundreds of cheap, discount online retailers appear and disappear. It’s important to remember that although a few of our products may cost a little more than discount online stores, Max Black will be here to help you should you have any problems for many years to come.

I TOOK AN ITEM HOME, DID NOT OPEN IT, BUT I WANT TO RETURN IT. CAN I?

Unfortunately, no. You probably wouldn't want to purchase an intimate product knowing it might have gone home with someone else and that’s why we maintain a strict policy of never returning a product to the shelf for sale once it has left the store.

We know after almost ten years in business that your confidence in us is foremost and that this trust is reinforced by knowing that every item we sell is absolutely new.

This policy is one of the significant points of difference between Max Black and other adult retailers. That’s why we ask you to choose carefully and ask for advice if you are unsure.

DO I NEED PROOF OF PURCHASE FOR A FAULTY RETURN OR EXCHANGE?

Yes. We recommend you make a copy of your in-store receipt by taking a photo with your phone, scanning it at home or photocopying it so it lasts. This is particularly important for products with long warranties.

Alternatively, you can ask us to email you a copy when you are at the counter.

Warranties may vary between products and may require original packaging for return.
