Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still return or exchange my item(s) outside of the 30 day period due to lockdown?

We're constantly checking Government updates and directives, so if a town, region, or city-wide lockdown impacts your ability to return your item, don't worry! Our 30-day returns & exchanges policy remains, but we won't count the days those stores are closed. Customers can head into their nearest store and our teams will happily process a return or an exchange. Find your nearest store here.

How can I check if an item is available at a store?

Our stores are currently receiving a high number of calls, and are unable to assist with any stock availability enquiries over the phone right now. The best way to find out whether an item is available in a particular store is to get in touch with our Online Customer Experience Team below.

Our in-store COVID-Safe Plan:

To help make our stores 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.

Click & Collect 

Update: Click & Collect service is temporarily unavailable.
Please see below for the latest update on our Click & Collect service:

Maintain 2 metres apart from each other where possible

Social 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 available

We strongly encourage you to use your card or phone to tap and pay instead of cash, whenever possible.

Use sanitisation station upon entering the store

Hand sanitiser will be available for all customers upon entry.

Regular cleaning routines throughout the entire store

We apply the highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene across our stores. We have increased the routine cleaning of frequently touched hard surfaces.

Remove and put on your own footwear

Our team will still be available to assist you with any sizing questions you may have, however they will maintain 2-metre distance to comply with social distancing! We will also have disposable try-on socks and gloves available.

Training for team members on social distancing and additional hygiene measures

All of our team members will be required to complete a training course.
