All items are quality controlled before dispatch but if you receive an item that is not right, please contact our team immediately at online@akubra.com.au.

Please include order number, photo of the fault and our Customer Support team will respond as soon as possible with a solution. If the item is deemed faulty or where a manufacturing fault occurs within six months of purchase, we will organise a repair or replacement.

If the item cannot be repaired and a replacement is not available, a refund will be offered to the original form of payment. Please note that items which are damaged or as a result of normal wear and tear; by accident; failure to use in accordance with care instructions; or through misuse will not be considered faulty.

Purchased Gift Cards are not refundable. Any returns of products purchased with Gift Cards will be returned in the form of a Gift Card to that value.

RETURN TO STORE

Returns will only be accepted in-store with proof of purchase. You may visit the following two locations: Strand Hatters or Brisbane Hatters

CANCELLATIONS & AMENDMENTS

If you have changed your mind, ordered an incorrect item, size or colour and would like to cancel or amend an order, please contact us immediately. Please note, orders which have already been shipped cannot be cancelled. You will be responsible for the return cost back to us.

REFUND OF DUTIES & TAXES

INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

We are unable to process exchanges at this current time. Instead, we kindly ask you to submit a return for your item and make a new purchase for the desired item. Return costs are the responsibility of the customer, we recommend using a traceable service as lost returned parcels are the responsibility of the customer. Return rates may vary depending on your location. Please return your items to: Akubra Customer Care - 89 South Street, South Kempsey, New South Wales, 2440, Australia

PURCHASED FROM A STOCKIST

Akubra only accepts returns from orders placed on our website. If you have purchased through a stockist, please contact the retailer of where you purchased, and they’ll be able to assist with your return.

HOW TO ORGANISE A RETURN

STEP 1 – Create a return.

Follow this link to our Return Portal.

Enter your order number, email address or phone number and select Find My Order.

If you are returning a gift, please select the gift option. You will need to add the same order information as above along with your own contact details. If you don’t know the order number, you can contact the online team and they will be able to assist you online@akubra.com.au 

STEP 2 – Follow the prompts.

Select the item to return and one of the outcomes: Exchange for the same item, a different item, or a store credit.

STEP 3 – Generate your shipping label.

You will either:

• Be invoiced for the return shipping (and receive an invoice with a link to pay via the Akubra checkout page); or
• If you have requested a store credit; or
• Are purchasing an item of a lesser value, the return shipping fee will be deducted from the existing credit. The shipping fees are $25 for a hat box or $15 for accessory items. Once paid you will receive an email with a link to the Australia Post label to download. 

STEP 4 – Pack your return.

Print the label and attach it to the top of the return parcel, then drop it off at any Australia Post location. Australia Post stores can print your return label for you if needed. Ensure all old labelling (including any shipping barcodes) are removed from the outside of the parcel – failure to do this may result in the parcel being scanned and returned to you. If you delay returning the item, we cannot guarantee the item you selected will still be in stock. In the event that it is sold out, you will be issued with a store credit.

STEP 5 – Receive a confirmation email.

Once your return has arrived at our Kempsey facility, please allow up to 3-5 business days for your return to be processed. You will be notified via email on the progress of your return. Please note that delivery fees are non-refundable.
