FAQs

Returns & Exchange FAQs

Do you do exchanges?

  • Online orders: Exchanges are only available in-store, if the item is stocked, and are at the manager’s discretion.
  • In-store purchases: Items can be exchanged in-store within our returns terms.

Do you provide a returns label?

  • Returns are at your own cost.
  • We are not liable for lost or damaged return parcels.
  • Returns labels are only provided for faulty or incorrect items.

I ordered before the deadline but the items do not fit

If you return and reorder, this is treated as a new order. We only guarantee orders placed before the original deadline.

Can I return items to a store?

Yes, you can use our stores as a drop-off point for returns.

Why is my refund less than expected?

If your original order qualified for free delivery, but your return takes the order value below that threshold, the original delivery cost will be deducted from your refund.
