To return an item, please visit our Returns Portal and follow the prompts.
Our portal provides a prepaid return postage label if you are returning from Australia, NZ, the USA, Canada, the UK or the European Union.
Please note, returns from different orders need to be returned separately.
No, returns from separate orders must be lodged separately through our returns portal.
This ensures each return is processed accurately against the correct order, payment method, and return outcome, helping us avoid delays in processing your refund or store credit.
If multiple orders are returned together without being lodged separately, a $15.00 processing and handling fee will be deducted from your final return amount.
If you include Checkout+ in your order, you are entitled to FREE returns and exchanges. This means we'll cover your return shipping fee. If you've opted for exchange, you will pay a fee for outbound shipping to send your new items back to you.
If you don't include Checkout+ and you're based in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, NZ or the USA you can choose to return for store credit and receive free return post (except for items purchased on sale or if a discount code is used, where return postage is always payable).
Or, if you would prefer to return for a refund, we retain an amount from your refund to cover return shipping fees. These fees are dynamic and fluctuate slightly. As an indication you can expect to pay:
US to US - $7 USD
US to AU - $23 USD
NZ to AU - $22 NZD
AU to AU - $12 AUD
CA to AU - $30 CAD
UK/EU to AU - $35 AUD.
This option ensures your package is trackable. Please keep a record of your return tracking number so you can follow the progress of your return. We recommend you register your parcel and obtain insurance for all returns, as we cannot be held responsible for items should they be lost in transit.
If you are based in another country you are responsible for organising and paying for your return postage. We recommend choosing a service with tracking as we will not be held responsible for returns lost in the post.
In case of a parcel being rejected at customs due to change of mind, we reserve the right to withhold duties and taxes incurred from your refund once it has been returned to us. Please note, these are treated as return to sender parcels which are considered low priority by the courier and can take up to three (3) months to arrive back at our warehouse.
Please note: Subject to our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation, international returns cannot be accepted where the value of the items being returned in one shipment is over $1000. Please ship the items separately as we are not responsible to pay duties to receive the goods. If there is a charge it may be deducted from your final refund.
Please lodge your return via our Returns Portal. You must use the label that is supplied via email. This ensures prompt processing of your return - if you do not have a printer you can take to your local post office where they can print the label for you
