Store purchases and other returns


I’ve purchased your products at a store, can I return it to you?

Purchased your items from one of our stockists? No problems!

Return the item, along with your receipt/proof of purchase (such as a bank statement or online bank screenshot showing the purchase), to the store you purchased the item/s from.

Store policies vary, so we recommend calling the stockist you purchased the item/s from first, to find out whether you qualify for a refund or an exchange.

Need help finding the store? You can use our stockist locator tool.

For Amazon returns, you’ll need to contact the seller and follow Amazon’s returns process.


I purchased your products at a store when I was on holidays, can I send it back to you?

If the store you purchased your item/s from is not local to you, we recommend giving the store a call to discuss your options. Sadly, we can’t accept returns from products purchased at retail. ☹


I can’t get in contact with the store I bought my items from

You can contact us, and we can provide you with the store’s contact details.


Help! My stockist won’t accept my return

We recommend checking your return request is covered by Australian Consumer Law.
If it does, ask the stockists what their policy is for returns/exchanges.

If you do not have an original receipt, ask your stockist if they’ll accept your payment transaction (such as an online bank screenshot of the purchase) as proof of purchase.

We recommend getting in touch with your stockist as soon as you can, as policy timeframes vary.
