Hygiene and social distancing measures
To help make them safer, we’ve introduced several measures to help us maintain an appropriate distance from each other while in our stores. We will review and adapt these in-store measures as the environment evolves.
Introduce a limit to the number of customers in-store at any given time.Our stores will have signage displayed with the max capacity allowed in-store at any one time. If the store has reached capacity, the number of customers will be managed using a one in, one out policy.
Maintain 1.5 metres apart from each other where possibleSocial distancing tape will be placed around our floors and seating areas. These can be found throughout the store as reminders, as well as areas where you may be required to queue.
Use EFTPOS/Paywave/Tap n Go services availableWe strongly encourage you to use your card or phone to tap and pay instead of cash, whenever possible.
Use sanitisation station upon entering the storeA team member will be at the entry door to offer hand sanitiser which all customers will be required to use before entering the store.
Regular cleaning routines throughout the entire storeWe apply the highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene across our stores. We have increased the routine cleaning of frequently touched hard surfaces.

- Returned within 60 days of purchase (with proof of purchase available if requested).

Unfortunately, we can only accept change of mind returns and exchanges within 60 days of purchasing. If your item falls outside of this time frame we will not be able to facilitate a change of mind return or exchange.
I purchased an item in-store - how do I return or exchange?
If you made a purchase in a store, you must return your item to a store location. We are unable to accept in-store returns to our online warehouse.
We will be happy to provide you with an exchange, store credit or refund as long as the items are in their original condition, with tags attached, in their original packaging and proof of purchase.

We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we're sorry to hear that your purchase doesn't meet your needs.
If your item was purchased from a third-party retailer and not directly from us (in-store or online), you will need to return to the retailer and have it assessed by them. Unfortunately, we are unable to facilitate exchanges or refunds from our end for purchases made with other retailers.
Once the place of purchase has assessed your item(s) they will be able to advise the next steps!
