Can I return something I've purchased?
We are happy to offer a store credit or refund on any item you've purchased from us, if it meets the criteria listed below. Please note: all postage costs are non-refundable and a restocking fee of $10.00 may apply.
Product return criteria:
- The item must be unopened, unused and in the original packaging.
- It must be within 14 days of the purchase date. Please check your order upon receipt.
Simply fill in the form below.
Exchanges = Store credit
We must approve the return BEFORE you send the item back so please fill in the form below. Please note: A $10.00 restocking fee may apply.
We are unable to process straight swap exchanges as all transactions must be initiated and recorded in our system by the customer. Store credits to the value of the returned item (less a $10.00 restocking fee if applicable) are issued to enable you to reorder the required item.
If you want to return an item you have ordered, we'll need to receive it back to us unopened, unused, and in the original packaging within 14 days of purchase.
You will be responsible for return postage. We do not offer free return shipping on exchanges.

- You used the product in a way that a reasonable consumer would not
- You broke or lost the product

If we approve the return of a faulty or defective item, a return label will be provided at no extra cost to you and once it's ready to send back, a courier will be booked to collect it.
