Lululemon cases submitted through Ajust
I tried to exchange a bag I received as a gift, and even though I had the original packaging and shipping label with my name and order number, the store questioned whether it was even mine. It felt humiliating and unnecessary, especially when another location processed it without issue. I just wanted a fair exchange or store credit without being made to feel at fault. - Luyao
My order was meant to arrive within a few days, but it never showed up. When I contacted support, I was told the courier had likely lost it, which left me stuck waiting with no clear solution. I didn’t want the runaround, just a replacement or a refund for something I paid for and never received. The uncertainty was the most frustrating part. - Eva

Lululemon Refund FAQs
Can you get a refund from Lululemon in Australia if you change your mind?
Yes, Lululemon allows change-of-mind refunds within 30 days of receiving your order. Items must be unworn, unwashed, with tags attached, and in resellable condition, and you’ll need proof of purchase. This applies to both online and in-store purchases, but exclusions like final-sale items and underwear apply. If you’re outside 30 days, a refund isn’t guaranteed, though some shoppers are offered store credit at Lululemon’s discretion.
What items are excluded from Lululemon refunds and returns?
Several Lululemon items are excluded from refunds, even within 30 days. Final-sale items such as We Made Too Much, underwear and socks (excluding bras), face masks, swimwear without liners, yoga mats, water bottles, and the Lululemon Studio Mirror cannot be returned. Knowing these exclusions upfront helps avoid wasted time and rejected returns. Always double-check product labels and sale terms before buying if refunds matter to you.
How long does a Lululemon refund take to process?
Lululemon refunds usually take longer by mail than in store. Mail returns typically take 3 to 4 weeks, including shipping, warehouse checks, and processing. In-store refunds are processed instantly, but your bank may take 1 to 5 business days to release the funds. Delays are more common during sales periods or if items are missing tags, receipts, or don’t meet return conditions.
What are your rights if a Lululemon item is faulty or not as described?
If a Lululemon product is faulty, unsafe, or not as described, Australian Consumer Law applies regardless of the 30-day policy. You’re entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement depending on the issue. This applies even to sale items and excluded products. If Lululemon refuses, you can escalate by clearly stating your consumer rights. Knowing this difference protects you from being wrongly pushed into store credit only.
