1. OUR RETURNS POLICY
If you are a customer in Australia, you get 28 calendar days to cancel your order if you change your mind. However, we may, in our sole discretion, offer you a longer period for returns from time to time. This cancellation period starts from the day after you receive your order. If your order is split into more than one delivery, then the cancellation period will start on the day after you have received all of the items in your order. Find out how to return your item(s) at paragraph 5 below.
As a consumer you are entitled to certain guarantees in respect of goods and services. If the goods have a major failure, you may reject the goods and at our sole discretion we may issue you with a refund or exchange or repair the item or allow you may keep the item and seek compensation for any drop in value. If the failure is minor, we may repair the item or, at our discretion, we may replace the item or refund you within a reasonable time. This does not affect your rights under law.

• Returned items must be unworn and unwashed.
We will not accept returned items that show any signs of having been worn or washed, including where the items are stained or otherwise marked or damaged, unless we determine such returned items to be faulty.
If an item (other than an item returned due to being faulty) is returned to us that has been worn, used, damaged, or is otherwise in an unsaleable condition, we reserve the right to refuse your refund. Alternatively, we reserve the right to reduce your refund value to reflect any reduction in the value of an item.

In some cases, electrical items may not be returned if the packaging has been tampered with or opened, or if any hygiene seal (where applicable) has been tampered with, or is broken.
This does not affect any other rights you may have under the law.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to block your customer account, in circumstances where you breach this Returns Policy or breach our Website Terms of Use or our Terms and Conditions of Sale , including by returning items in a used condition, or failing to return items relating to cancelled orders.

If this happens to you and you think we’ve made a mistake, you can Contact Us here and we will discuss the matter with you further.

5. HOW TO RETURN AN ITEM & HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
For International returns you will need to pay for your return, you will need to generate your returns label via the portal. Please use the address label or QR code provided, any handwritten address labels will cause delays with your refund and may mean you need to pay import VAT and a customs duty charge. Using your own method of return, refunds will only be processed once the items have arrived to our warehouse and If your items don’t make it back to us, you’ll need to open a dispute with the carrier. You may be liable for import and pay a custom duty charge for orders over the customs threshold.
If you use the returns portal, the process for returns is as follows:
• Repack your items.
• Login to our returns portal. You will need your order number and email/last 4 digits of your phone number.
• Select your preferred return option (Print returns label at home or in store options).
• Once you have processed your return in the portal you're ready to post it off! Make sure you keep proof of postage!
• Keep an eye on your return tracking. You'll get an email once we receive your returned item.
If you do not use the returns portal, then you can repack the items for returning at your own cost. In this case, please ensure that the return parcel is marked clearly with the wording "Return to supplier" or wording having similar effect.

WE'VE GONE PAPERLESS! YOU'LL NO LONGER RECEIVE A DELIVERY NOTE IN YOUR PARCEL. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PROCESS MY RETURN?
It can take up to 14 days from the date of your return for your parcel to be delivered back to our warehouse and your refund processed.
On receiving your return the next step is for us to check the item(s). Once our checks are complete, we’ll refund you for the accepted items returned unless there are any issues with the item(s) returned as follows:
• If you paid using a credit or debit card, we will process your refund within 14 days of you sending the items to us and the funds should appear on your statement around 7 working days thereafter (exact timing will depend on your card issuer);
• If you paid for your order with a gift voucher or store credit, the value of the returned item will be credited back to your boohoo.com account;
• If you paid using Afterpay or Laybuy, (a “buy now, pay later” service provider), we will notify the relevant service provider that you have returned your items to us and the relevant service provider will process your full or partial refund as applicable, in accordance with its terms and conditions. Please note that different refund processing times may apply and you should review the applicable terms for your chosen service provider for further information.
Finally, we’ll make sure to keep you in the loop and send you an email as soon as your parcel arrives back at our warehouse, and again when we have processed your refund.
