International orders can take up to 4 weeks to arrive, however we are seeing faster delivery times in 2026 with most international orders arriving within 1-2 weeks!

We do strongly recommend keeping it - it makes returns completely hassle-free and protects you from extra return costs.

What happens if I need to return something?
If you selected Checkout+, your return label is completely free.
If you didn't select Checkout+, a standard return fee of $14.50 applies ($11.99 return label + $2.50 handling fee)

At the moment, we cover duties and taxes for USA customers only.

For other international destinations, customs fees (if applicable) are the responsibility of the customer.

We’re always reviewing this as we grow 💛

For customers outside Australia, New Zealand and the USA:

Your order may be subject to customs duties, import taxes or handling fees when it arrives in your country. These charges are set by your local government and are the responsibility of the customer.

We don’t have control over these fees (we wish we did!) and they aren’t included in your shipping cost at checkout.

If you’re unsure what your country charges, we recommend checking with your local customs office before ordering.

Important – Return to Sender parcels: All Countries

If a parcel is returned to us because:

  • Duties or import fees were not paid
  • The parcel was unclaimed
  • The address provided was incorrect

Please note:

  • A $20 return fee will be applied to the order. This covers the charges we incur from our shipping provider when a parcel is returned to sender.
  • We are unable to reimburse the original postage cost.
  • Once the parcel has been received back to us, store credit will be issued.
  • Your store credit will be the order value minus the $20 return fee and the original postage cost.
  • We are unable to re-deliver a Return to Sender parcel. You’re welcome to use your store credit to place a new order with the correct shipping details.

We always recommend double-checking your shipping address at checkout and keeping an eye on tracking updates to avoid delays or return fees.
