Sitewide Sale Returns Policy:
Items purchased during sitewide sales can be returned for a store credit or exchange only, no refunds. You will be able to return items for an exchange or store credit within 30 days of delivery with Our free return label. Refunds will not be available during any sitewide sale for any items purchased!
Final Sale items that have been further discounted during a sitewide sale cannot be returned for a refund, or store credit, other than in the event of them being faulty.
If you purchase multiple sizes in the same product, unfortunately We are unable to make exceptions for refunds and duplicate items will still only be eligible to be returned for a store credit or exchange only. Due to the large volume of sales, We are unable to guarantee your exchange items will be available upon processing, as items do sell out quickly so We recommend selecting the instant exchange option if you want to secure your item.
If you select an exchange and your return is delivered back to Our warehouse and processed after the sitewide sale has ended, unfortunately We are unable to honour the new item at the discounted price and it will be charged at full price. In this case, We do recommend selecting the instant exchange option or a store credit. If you have selected a new item that is not an even price exchange to the original item, a store credit will be processed instead so the correct amount is provided back to you to shop with.
Faulty Products:
Should you receive a faulty product, you can request for a review on the returns and exchange portal. You will need to provide a clear photo of the faulty item and upload it into the warranty claim. We will be able to assess and replace the item as soon as possible. If the item is sold out, a store credit will be issued to you. If your faulty return request is not approved, We will reach out with further details.
Warranty periods or time frames vary per item and are effective from the date of purchase.
If you have any issues with the process of your faulty return, please contact Us via live chat or help centre and one of Our team members will assist.

All orders are tracked and customers will receive an email confirming the tracking number once the order has been dispatched.
