Returns Information

Before your item is sent, our staff will make sure that it leaves our store in perfect condition so that you have a stress-free shopping experience. 
However, we understand that buying an item online doesn’t always go as expected, so we are happy to accept returns provided your claim meets the following criteria: 

• The purchase of clearance items is final & they cannot be returned or exchanged.
• All claims are to be processed & finalised within 14 days upon receiving your item.   
• Postage for all returns & exchanges will be at your expense with the exception of faulty items.
• Returned items must have no visible signs of wear or use. The items must also have their original tags attached (if applicable) and be returned with the original packaging that you received it in.
• We reserve the right to reject your return if it fails to meet the criteria.
• No refunds on Gift Cards or Vouchers.

 Faulty or damaged items.

• If an item is faulty, we will request that you email us with images of the fault & tags before your return can be accepted and processed.
• If you have a minor problem with an item, we will give you a free repair in preference of a replacement or refund if this is acceptable to you.
• If you have a major problem with an item, you have the choice of a replacement or a repair where possible. Or, you can request a full refund which will be refunded into the same PayPal or bank account used for your initial purchase.
• If you paid with Afterpay you still need to contact us for your refund to be processed. Afterpay will then take care of your refund in accordance with their Terms of Use & Refund Policy. (please make sure that you have read & understand their policy before completing your order)
• In instances of faulty items, we will be responsible for the cost of return postage, but you must ensure when posting your return item that you have a tracking service as you are liable for this purchase until it is returned back to us. 

The consumer guarantees do not apply if:

• You got what you asked for but simply changed your mind.
• You found it cheaper somewhere else.
• You decided that you no longer liked or had use for the item.
