Online shopping can sometimes be a nervous experience, wondering how a garment might fit or feel. At Lock & Key Clothing we understand this and offer a 7-day return policy for clothing so you can shop confidently and without risk.
If the garment you have purchased has not been worn, altered or washed; was not purchased on sale, using a store credit and the swing tags are still attached it can be returned to us within 7 days of being received for a full refund (minus original postage costs) or exchange.
The 7 days is calculated as per the delivery date shown on the Australia Post online tracking system that relates to you parcel. You can find the tracking system here.
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that goods are returned to us within the outlined timeframe. Any postage costs related to returns are at the customers expense with the exclusion of faulty items, which we are happy to reimburse.
Any items returned must meet the above criteria or request for refund/exchange will be denied.
Please note the following exclusions to our returns policy:
- For hygiene reasons earrings are not available for refund or exchange due to change of mind. We will only accept refund due to fault or damage.
- Sale & Clearance items are considered FINAL SALE and we have a strict NO REFUNDS policy on these items. For more information read SALE Stock policy below.
