We prefer that our customers avoid online shopping misfortunes and although we take great care in providing measurements in our sizing guides, we recognise that sometimes, things can go wrong! Therefore we can turn your fortune around and offer to exchange styles or sizes on qualifying merchandise. Within a 45 day period from your delivery date, simply fill in the easy to use form and send it, along with your invoice and product/s, back to us to exchange ( returns must be received within 45 days of delivery date). Prior to sending your items back, it is usually a good idea to let us know what you would like to exchange the item for so we can place it on hold for you. This can be done via email hello@allthingscostume.com or by telephone on 0450 188 003.

To send your products back to us, follow these easy steps (please note that customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping): 

1. Simply send the unworn item back in original packaging or your own packaging within 45 days of purchase date, and we will exchange your item, apply a store credit or refund the cost of the item minus shipping costs ( time limits apply)

2. Fill Out & Print our Retuns Label, or send an email to hello@allthingscostume.com with your Order Number, Name and Reason for Return.

CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

Due to the fast paced nature of our warehouse operations we are unable to cancel orders once confirmation has been received. Should you wish to return any items from your purchase you may do so following the instructions for returning an item.

PRODUCT PACKAGING

DO NOT THROW IT AWAY!! Upon receiving your item/s, If you aren't 100% sure that you won't be returning it to us....... DON'T THROW AWAY THE PACKAGING! This includes any outer packaging eg. plastic bags, covers etc plus anything else that forms a part of identifying the item such as tags and card inserts. 

All the packaging forms part of the product as a whole, as it has been sold to you. If a product is returned without a piece of packaging, it means the item (as it's intended purpose) is incomplete. The packaging is extremely important as it used to confirm the product, the description of the product and the genuity of the product. The product packaging is used in our warehouse to identify the products. Without the packaging we cannot store the product in the warehouse, nor can we re-sell it as a genuine product.

If returning any products for refund or exchange - ALL packaging MUST be included in your return, in an undamaged, original condition.

FAULTY OR INCORRECT ITEMS

So you’ve hurried to collect your parcel, ripped it open.. And oh, oh… it’s faulty. We know, it feels really unfortunate when you receive an item that didn't meet your expectations, and we’re sorry. We want you to feel just as confident in our product, as you do about yourself, so we are happy to fix it up for you as quickly as possible!

If you receive an item that is defective or not what you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible on hello@allthingscostume.com. 

In your email, We ask that you please provide as much detail as possible, including photos so that we can quickly and thoroughly investigate your faulty item.

We will cover the costs for postage for you to return the item, or we may decide for you to dispose of the item and offer you a refund.

If we ask you to return the item, please ensure the faulty item is not worn, altered or manipulated in any form, and tags have not been removed . If these conditions are not complied with, we will be unable to accept the item back as we will not be able to return it to the manufacturer on your behalf, and therefore will not be able to accept a return of the product.

If you discover that your product is faulty before you use it, please contact us to discuss the issue, we will do everything we can to rectify the situation.

However, if you go ahead and use, alter or in any way manipulate the product even though it is faulty, you are then accepting that the product is 'fit for the purpose' that you purchased it for, and it is no longer returnable. So, please DO NOT USE a product if it is faulty as we will not be able to return it to the manufacturer on your behalf, and therefore will not be able to accept a return of the product.

Please note that occasionally manufacturers will slightly alter the appearance or the fabrics used for a product depending on what is available to them during the manufacturing process. This can often occur without our knowledge and due to the large quantity of stock we hold we are not able to individually check each item. When we are made aware of instances like this, we will immediately alter any product listings on the website to coincide with any changes, however this is not always possible. Products that fall under this flag are not deemed as faulty as they have been produced as specified by the manufacturer and are fit for wear. To determine a fault a product shall present with a structural form, a breakage or an appearance which deems the product unfit for its intended use.

FREE SHIPPING & RETURNS

Please note that we do not refund shipping costs or the cost to return an item to us. If an order recieved free shipping and the order or part of an order is returned for a refund, and the balance of the order that is kept by you then adds up to less than $99, a $8.99 shipping fee will be deducted from the refund.

AFTERPAY RETURNS 

Afterpay payments - Please be aware that Afterpay is a separate entity to us, and the agreement you enter into for payment installments will continue until will have processed your refund.

If you are returning only part of your order, the refund amount will be deducted from your final instalment. Once we have received your return items we will notify AfterPay that your return has been processed, Afterpay has a system in place to deal with part order refunds.

If you have an instalment payment due to be deducted by Afterpay prior to your refund being processed, we do recommend that you continue to have sufficient funds in your nominated account so Afterpay can deduct the neccessary payment. This will avoid being charged an 'unavailable funds' fee from Afterpay. Any payments you make to Afterpay will still be refunded back to you as soon as your refund has been processed.

**Important, Please Note – Orders placed using Afterpay that are being returned for refund, will incur a surcharge of 6% of the total order. This surcharge will be deducted from the refunded amount. We apologise for this inconvenience however; this is an unavoidable fee charged by Afterpay.

This extended shipping policy was updated 12.00pm on 22nd Sept 2022 AEST and applies to all orders placed after this date.
