Can you get a refund from
Zara
? Check eligibility first

Zara offers a 30-day return window in Australia, but that’s 30 days from the shipping date (online orders) or purchase date (in-store), not from when you decide to return. Miss it, and your refund may be denied. The item must be in original condition, unworn, with tags and packaging intact. Strict hygiene rules apply to swimwear, underwear, and cosmetics.

Returns must be processed in the same country you bought the item.i If you ordered from Zara Australia, you can’t return it to a different country.

How to get a refund from
Zara

In-store: The fastest refund option, bring the item and receipt (or online QR code) to any Zara Australia store.

‍Online purchases: Use the Zara return portal to generate a label or QR. Drop the package at an approved location (e.g., AusPost). Return shipping is $3.95, deducted from your refund (waived for faulty items).

‍Gift returns: Get a Zara eVoucher if you have a gift receipt.

‍No printer? Show your return QR at the post office - they’ll print the label for you.
