Returns Policy

Welcome to Headnoise Apparel Pty Ltd (hereafter known as Headnoise Apparel) Returns Policy Information page. Below, you'll find all the details you need about returning any of our products due to a “Change of Mind” or due to an “Incorrect/Faulty” product being delivered to you.

Please note by proceeding with a purchase, you acknowledge and accept our Shipping and Delivery Policy and Returns Policy. These policies are subject to change without prior notice, and the version in effect at the time of your purchase will apply. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support Team.

 

1.0 - Timeframe for any return
  • Products can be returned within 14 calendar days of the date of receiving the product (date confirmed by our delivery partner) if all of the eligibility criteria below are met. Failure to return within 14 calendar days of the date of receiving the product will result in the return not being accepted.
2.0 - Eligibility for returns - change of mind/incorrect size

2.1 - If you “Change Your Mind” about one of our products the following MUST occur:

  • The product must have been purchased at full price (or full price with a discount code that was applied at checkout by the customer). Sale items are not eligible for returns.
  • All apparel products must be unworn, unwashed and in their original condition with all tags attached. We recommend inspecting your products before sending them back to us as we will not accept any damaged, worn or dirtied items without all tags attached.
  • Proof of purchase (via either a paper or digital receipt) MUST be produced. This can be in the form of an email confirmation of payment or as a finalised transaction under your Headnoise Apparel online account (if established).

Please note: Headnoise Apparel will not accept any returned items not meeting the criteria above. If Headnoise Apparel receive your returned products after our 14 day allowance your return cannot be accepted. The products cannot be sent back to you.

2.2 - Other key points about “Change of Mind” returns: Please consider before returning your products:

  • For hygiene reasons personal care products and underwear cannot be returned. Swimwear can only be returned if the hygiene seal is still intact and at the discretion of Headnoise Apparel.
  • We do not accept returns of the following products:
  • Sale items
  • Underwear
  • Water
    bottles
  • Personal
    care items
  • Socks (unless they are in their original packaging and un-opened)
  • Gift cards, or
  • Any items claimed under any Rewards program or free gifts.
  • Refunds will be made back to the original payment method as specified in your confirmation email. If you have split payments (such as Store Credit & PayPal) your refund will be credited back to Store Credit first.
  • Discount codes from the original order are final and cannot be refunded/store credited or applied to a new order or applied to an exchange.

2.3 - What we offer for “Change of Mind” returns

  • We offer a refund if the product is purchased at full price (or full price with a discount code that has to be applied by the customer at checkout). Full price items exclude automatic discounts and savings at online checkout. Full priced items must be returned within 14 days from date of delivery to receive a full refund of the purchase price (does not include shipping costs).
  • We only offer refunds onto the original payment method used to make the order.
  • If we receive the product 15-30 days after the delivery date we do not offer a refund but only offer an exchange or online store credit if eligibility criteria are met.
  • We also offer an exchange for another item of equal or lesser value (subject to availability) or online store credit for the original purchase amount (not including postage/shipping costs).
  • Customers are responsible for the cost of return postage/shipping when returning “Change of Mind” products. To ensure safe return of the products we recommend you utilise a shipping provider with tracking service to ensure safe delivery to our returns facility.
  • Store credit may be issued in the form of a digital voucher attached to your Headnoise Apparel account (if an account is established). This can then be applied towards future purchases on our Site. Store credit does not have an expiration date.
  • If you opt for an exchange, you can choose an alternative product from our available product range. If the new product is of lesser value, the difference will be issued as store credit. If the new product is of higher value, you will be required to pay the difference. You will also be required to pay a new postage fee.

2.4 - What happens if I send back a dirty/damaged product or a product without all correct original packaging?

  • We undertake thorough quality assurance inspections of all stock which leaves our warehouse (to reduce the risk of faulty/damaged goods arriving to our customers) and we also do the same on their return to our warehouse. If the returned products do not meet our eligibility criteria noted above, we will be unable to process your return.
  • If a returned product doesn’t meet our criteria we will contact you via email with photo evidence to explain the reasons we cannot process the return. We will then send the product to a sustainable recycling solution to avoid unnecessary landfill OR you can pay new postage so we can re-send to you if you choose.
  • No exceptions to this policy will be made.

2.5 - How do I know if my items are Sale items?

  • This can be identified by the sale tag on the items on our Site and can also be viewed on your order confirmation, although it is advisable you are familiar with this prior to purchase.

2.6 - Some things to note are:

  • If your requested exchange is out of stock or you are seeking an alternative product with a price difference - a store credit will be automatically issued.
  • If your requested exchange is for the same product but different size/colour and there is a price difference at the time of the exchange i.e. item is back to full price or on sale there will be no refund or store credit issued for the price difference.
  • Discount codes from the returned order are final and cannot be refunded/store credited or applied to the exchange order.
  • Sale items cannot be returned for any reason.
  • If a full-priced item is returned for an exchange and then again returned, this will only be eligible for a store credit. Similarly, if a full-priced item is returned and store credit is requested, a later “Change of Mind” for a refund will also not be permitted.
  • If there are no notes accompanying your return we will apply a store credit.
  • The customer is responsible for return shipping costs (both to our warehouse and on the return to you) for all “Change of Mind” returns. We also recommend keeping your tracking details as Headnoise Apparel is not liable for returns lost in transit.

  • If you have multiple products, please provide a photograph of each product separately.

  • Important: Headnoise Apparel is not liable for damage caused by the customer not following all care instructions on our products or using the products in an abnormal manner.

3.3 - What happens if I return a product which is actually from another brand?

  • If we receive a returned product from you which is actually another brands’ product, our Customer Support Team will contact you via email to request a shipping label be provided to use to allow us to return the product to you directly.  We are not liable for the cost of returning your item to you.
  • Alternatively, if you already have a return label from the original supplier of that product, please send through to us via email and we can send it on its way for you.
  • Headnoise Apparel will not be held liable for any costs (including shipping costs) or loss of product where you have sent another brands product to us. While we will do our best to get this product back to you, we are not responsible if the product is lost in transit.
