Returns & Exchanges

We want you to be 100% happy with your items, so if you change your mind we'll happily accept a return or exchange within 60 days of purchase. Double-check that your items meet our Returns Policy and the three main requirements:

• Returned within 60 days of purchase (with proof of purchase available if requested).
• Unworn, unwashed and undamaged with original tags attached.
• In original packaging and condition. Items cannot be sent back with their packaging exposed, taped up or otherwise damaged.

Important to note! We do not offer exchanges for online orders. You'll automatically be issued a refund for any returned items. If you would like to exchange an item, we recommend placing a new order online and return your existing item.

Please follow the instructions here on how to organise your return.

I purchased my item more than 60 days ago - can I still return or exchange?

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.

I want to exchange or return an item, however, I purchased it from somewhere else?

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!

Can I return Vans I purchased overseas?

Purchases made online from overseas distributors, outlets or third-party websites such as eBay cannot be exchanged, replaced or returned by Vans Australia; we advise you to contact the place of purchase for any warranty claims. We do not accept incorrect sizing exchanges or change-of-mind returns for overseas purchases.
