Returns Policy
All items must be returned back to us in their original condition, unworn, unused and with all swing tags still attached. If a product is not returned in its original condition (damaged or with makeup stains/marks) we hold the right to charge the customer a cleaning or repair fee at our discretion. We hold the right to refuse returned items that show signs of wear or are not returned in their original condition; the customer will be liable for all associated return postage costs that will be calculated at the time of return. We do not offer direct product exchanges. You will be required to place a new order for any size/style changes.

Our Return Options:

1. Cash Refund (minus a $10 restocking fee and postage costs)

Sale, Promotional Items & Fascinators:
You can send these categorised items back to us however, sale items will receive an online store credit only, unless listed as a final sale. All online-store credits are valid for 3 years, so you will have plenty of time to choose another item. Fascinators are final sale items in-store.
Orders over AUD$500:

*We have the right to refuse any item/s that does not comply with our returns policy.




Can I use my online-store credit at a physical Hats By The Hundred retail store?

Can I return the item/s in the package it came in?
Yes, the packaging can be upcycled if the box is undamaged and can still protect the product. Please ensure the items are placed/stacked back in the box exactly the way they were when you received them e.g. Akubras upside down on their crown along with any protective air pillows or inserts for protection. If it is a satchel, we suggest you replace it or put the product in a box as you must return the product in good resellable condition.
