Do you deliver Australia-wide?

What’s the difference between business and retail orders?
What’s the difference between business and retail orders?
TechForGood is a Business Reseller, not a retail store. We supply ICT products and services primarily to organisations purchasing for commercial use.
Because we operate under standard business supply terms, different conditions apply compared to traditional retail purchases:
- Business (B2B) transactions follow commercial supplier standards used across the ICT industry. This means change-of-mind returns, cancellations, and exchanges are not automatically accepted and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
- Retail (B2C) consumer protections — such as those under Australian Consumer Law for general retail purchases — do not automatically apply to business-to-business transactions.
If you’ve purchased as an individual through our online store, we’ll always act fairly and in good faith, but please note that TechForGood’s return terms reflect those of a certified business supplier, not a consumer retailer.
Can I return an item if I change my mind?
Can I return an item if I change my mind?
Yes — change-of-mind returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery if the product remains sealed and in original packaging. A 10% handling or restocking fee applies, plus delivery costs. You’re responsible for the cost of return freight, and the product remains your liability until it’s received by our warehouse.
What if my item is damaged, defective, or incorrect?
What if my item is damaged, defective, or incorrect?

Software licences and digital services are final sale items. Early cancellation of software or maintenance agreements may incur a $125 ex GST administration fee plus any remaining contract value.
Do you accept returns on sale items or gift cards?

When will I receive my refund?

♻️ Recover-E — Secure IT Asset Disposal
What is Recover-E?
What is Recover-E?
Recover-E is TechForGood’s ISO-certified IT asset recovery and e-waste disposal service. It ensures your retired technology is collected, data-sanitised, and recycled to the highest security and environmental standards — all while generating measurable ESG and social impact outcomes.
How is data kept secure?
How is data kept secure?
Every device is wiped or destroyed in line with ISO 27001-certified processes. We use certified software erasure (Blancco), NSA-grade degaussing, or physical shredding depending on asset type. You receive a certificate of data sanitisation for every device, giving you a full audit trail for compliance and peace of mind.
What happens to hardware after wiping?
What happens to hardware after wiping?
Once data is securely removed, all assets are processed through R2v3 and ISO 14001-certified downstream recycling partners. Components and materials are ethically recovered, keeping e-waste out of landfill and supporting Australia’s circular ICT economy.
Can Recover-E reuse or resell equipment?
Can Recover-E reuse or resell equipment?
Where devices are serviceable and meet compliance standards, Recover-E ensures they are securely wiped and reused through approved channels. Any resale proceeds are reinvested into TechForGood’s social impact programs — extending both the life of the technology and its positive impact.
Why is “free” e-waste collection risky?
Why is “free” e-waste collection risky?
Free or ad-hoc disposal services often lack certification, data erasure, or traceable reporting. This creates risks for data breaches, non-compliance, and reputational harm. Recover-E provides enterprise-grade assurance — certified data destruction, ESG reporting, and clear documentation you can provide to auditors or stakeholders.
What certifications does Recover-E hold?

How does TechForGood address modern slavery risks?
We conduct due diligence on every supplier and partner under our Ethical Procurement Framework.

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) assessments evaluate the ethical, social, and environmental performance of suppliers.

This audit process provides clients with independent assurance that their ICT spend aligns with responsible business practices and emerging compliance frameworks.
Do you verify your suppliers?

Yes — through our annual ESG audit program. Each year, TechForGood reviews supplier policies, certifications, and compliance evidence against our Ethical Procurement Framework and B Corp reporting standards. This includes assessing environmental management, information security, diversity and inclusion, and modern slavery compliance. Not all partners are ISO certified, but all are evaluated for alignment with our verified ESG and ethical sourcing criteria.
