Can you get a refund from Witchery? Check eligibility first

👉 Faulty Items: Under Australian Consumer Law, faulty or not-as-described products can be refunded, replaced, or repaired, even if they’re usually excluded (e.g., earrings) or outside the 45-day window.

Witchery Refund FAQs
Can you get a refund from Witchery if you simply change your mind?
Yes, Witchery allows change-of-mind refunds within 45 days of purchase or delivery. This applies to both full-price and sale items, which is more generous than many fashion retailers. You must provide proof of purchase and return the item unworn, unwashed, undamaged, and with tags attached. Shoes must be returned in their original box. If these conditions are met, you’re entitled to a refund, not just store credit.
Are sale items eligible for a refund at Witchery?
Yes, Witchery refunds sale items within the same 45-day return window. This is a standout policy, as many retailers only offer exchanges or store credit on sale purchases. As with full-price items, sale returns must be in original condition with proof of purchase. This makes Witchery’s refund policy more flexible and consumer-friendly than many competitors in Australia.
What items can’t be returned to Witchery for a change of mind?
Earrings, headwear, face coverings, and sometimes hosiery or underwear can’t be returned for hygiene reasons. These exclusions apply even if the item is unused and within 45 days. However, if one of these items is faulty or not as described, Australian Consumer Law overrides store policy. In that case, you may still be entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement.
How long does a Witchery refund usually take to process?
Most Witchery refunds are processed within 3 to 10 business days after the return is received. Banks and payment providers may take an extra 2 to 5 days to show the money. In-store refunds are processed immediately, while Refundid instant refunds can be issued the same day you lodge your return. Always keep your tracking receipt in case of delays.
