Still waiting on a Glassons refund?
Can you get a refund from Glassons? Check eligibility first
Glassons accepts refunds on most online purchases within 30 days of delivery. Before you start the process, confirm your item meets every condition below. Returns that fail any one of these checks will be rejected.
You are eligible for a refund if:
- Within the return window — your return is initiated within 30 days of the order being delivered
- Unworn and unwashed — items must be in new condition; worn or washed items cannot be returned
- Tags attached — all garment tags must still be in place
- Hygiene stickers intact — where applicable (swimwear, bodysuits, underwear, earrings), hygiene stickers must be unbroken
- Proof of purchase — you have an invoice, order confirmation, or dispatch notice on hand
Items with special conditions:
- Swimwear, underwear, bodysuits, and earrings — eligible for return only when purchased online and only if hygiene stickers are still fully attached. These categories cannot be returned in-store
- Split-payment purchases — if you paid partly with a gift card, the gift card portion is refunded first before the remainder is returned to your other payment method
Items NOT eligible for a refund:
- Final Sale items — anything labelled "Final Sale" cannot be returned or exchanged, either online or in-store, under any circumstances
- Gift cards — non-refundable
- In-store purchases — cannot be returned via the Glassons distribution centre; must be returned to a physical store
- Items outside the return window — anything returned after 30 days from delivery will not be accepted
- Items with removed tags or hygiene stickers — once removed, the item is ineligible
Always check the product listing before purchasing during sale events. If it says "Final Sale," treat it as a permanent purchase — the Glassons return policy 2025 makes no exceptions for this category.

Key restrictions to know:
- No exchanges via post — the Glassons distribution centre can only issue refunds. If you want to exchange for a different size, colour, or style, you must do so in-store

- No cash refunds for online returns processed via post
Common refund issues with Glassons
- Final Sale items — refund denied: Customers who purchase items during sale events without noticing the "Final Sale" label find these cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances. Always check the product page before purchasing during a Glassons sale.
- Tags removed — return rejected: Returns are rejected if garment tags or hygiene stickers have been removed, even with a valid receipt. Leave all tags attached when trying on items at home until you're certain you're keeping them.
- Glassons return postage cost confusion: Glassons does not cover return postage for change-of-mind purchases. Customers frequently report frustration at paying approximately $13 via Australia Post, a cost that is not refunded. If you live near a store, in-store returns are free and faster.
- Delayed refunds and follow-up difficulty: Several customers report refunds taking longer than the stated 14 working day window, with follow-up responses sometimes slow or automated. Keep your tracking number and contact help@glassons.com directly with your order number and proof of postage if you're past the window.
- Inconsistent in-store policy application: Some customers report being told by phone that an exchange was possible, then finding in-store staff applied different conditions. Before visiting, confirm eligibility by checking the Glassons Returns FAQ or requesting confirmation via email.
- Glassons faulty item refund — postage reimbursement unclear: Glassons does refund postage for genuinely faulty items, but some customers found the process unclear and had to follow up multiple times. When returning a faulty item, state the fault clearly on the returns form, email help@glassons.com, and include photos of the defect where possible.

How Glassons Refund Policy Compares to Competitors

- Both offer a 30-day return window from delivery
- Princess Polly provides free Australia Post returns. Glassons charges approximately $13 in return postage
- Princess Polly offers an instant refund option via Refundid (funds in 60 seconds for eligible Australian orders). Glassons has no equivalent

Glassons vs Cotton On
- Cotton On has no return expiry, items can be returned at any time; Glassons caps returns at 30 days from delivery
- Cotton On provides a free return postage label; Glassons does not cover return postage for change-of-mind returns
- Both process in-store refunds immediately; Cotton On's online processing takes up to 10 business days vs Glassons' 5 business days
- Verdict: Cotton On is more flexible and cost-effective for online returns
Glassons vs ASOS
- Both have a similar return window: Glassons 30 days, ASOS 28 days from delivery
- ASOS deducts $8.99 AUD from the refund for return postage; Glassons charges approximately $13 separately

- Verdict: Broadly comparable, with Glassons' in-store option being a practical advantage and faster processing once received
Overall position: Glassons returns Australia sits in the mid-tier. The 30-day window and in-store return option are genuine positives, but paid return postage and the absence of any instant refund mechanism place it behind Princess Polly and Cotton On for online shoppers.

Glassons Refund FAQs
Does Glassons cover the cost of return postage for online orders?
Glassons does not cover return postage for change-of-mind returns. You pay approximately $13 via Australia Post. The only exception is faulty items, where Glassons will refund your postage costs. To avoid the fee entirely, return your order in-store at any Australian Glassons location, where refunds are processed immediately at no extra cost.
Can I return a Glassons Final Sale item if it doesn't fit?
No. Glassons Final Sale items cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances, either online or in-store. This applies regardless of condition, timing, or reason. Always check the product listing carefully before purchasing during a Glassons sale event, as the Final Sale label is a permanent exclusion from the returns policy.
How long does a Glassons refund take to appear in my account after I post the return?
A Glassons refund via post takes up to 14 working days in total from the date you send the parcel. Glassons processes your return within 5 business days of receiving it, then your bank takes a further 1–5 business days to clear the funds. If nothing has appeared after 14 working days, contact help@glassons.com with your order number and tracking details to follow up.
Can I exchange a Glassons online order for a different size instead of getting a refund?
Exchanges for a different size, colour, or style are only available in-store. The Glassons distribution centre processes refunds only and cannot fulfil exchanges by post. If you return online and want a different size, you will receive a refund to your original payment method and will need to place a new order separately.
