How other consumers Lululemon complaints got resolved
Faulty product refunded after escalation: A customer’s top tore after one wash. An initial denial was reversed after citing Australian Consumer Law and escalating to a manager. The customer received a refund plus free shipping code.
Lost online order: A customer's payment was processed but the order disappeared. Lululemon refunded the charge and gave a 20% discount code as a goodwill gesture.
Multiple quality issues: A loyal customer repeatedly returned faulty items. Corporate reached out, offered tailored advice and a complimentary product to rebuild trust.
- Request a supervisor/manager: Ask for a higher-level review if the first agent can’t resolve it.
- Escalate in-store issues: If a store manager won’t help, contact the GEC with store details so corporate can override.
- Head office escalation: Formal complaints can be addressed to Lululemon’s Australia HQ (via the same GEC channels).
- Social media escalation: Public posts often prompt a fast response – keep it factual and polite.
- Persistent follow-up: Quote your case number, reference missed deadlines, and keep records of all interactions.

If internal escalation fails, you have strong rights under Australian Consumer Law (ACL):
- Fair Trading / Consumer Affairs: Lodge a free online complaint with your state agency (e.g., NSW Fair Trading, Consumer Affairs Victoria). They can mediate directly with Lululemon.
- ACCC: Report systemic issues (e.g., refusal to refund faulty items). While ACCC doesn’t resolve single disputes, your report adds pressure.
- Financial pathways: If a refund is denied and you paid by card/Afterpay, request a chargeback via your bank or AFCA (for financial disputes).
- Small Claims Tribunal: VCAT, NCAT, or equivalents can order refunds/compensation for unresolved disputes.
💡 Mentioning Fair Trading or ACL rights often speeds up Lululemon’s response.
