How Do I Pack My Return?

The shoe box is considered part of the product and must be returned in good condition by wrapping/boxing prior to shipping. We recommend using the box that the products were originally shipped in. Alternatively, satchels and boxes are available at all Australia Post outlets.

Any goods that have been shipped back without the original packaging, and not in original condition, or where the original packaging has been used as the shipping box, will not be accepted as a return, and subsequently a refund or exchange will not be issued.

Can I Exchange My Purchase?

Please note we can only exchange items that meet our returns conditions. Any product for exchange must be unworn and in original condition and packaging within 30 days of receipt. Please check stock availability when organising your RA Number, as stock can be put on hold for you. We cannot guarantee stock availability for exchanges when no request for stock has been made.

Shipping is free for ONE replacement item where the initial order was OVER $100 (AUS customers only)
