Lululemon Return FAQs
Can I return an item to Lululemon if I change my mind?
Yes, you can return most full-priced Lululemon items within 30 days if they’re unworn, unwashed, and have tags attached. Sale items, underwear, socks, swimwear without the hygiene liner, and yoga mats are final sale. Always include proof of purchase. If you’re unsure about eligibility, check the Lululemon Returns Portal before sending your item back.
How do I return a Lululemon order online in Australia?
Start at the Lululemon Returns Portal, enter your order number and email, and select items to return. You’ll receive a prepaid AusPost label to post your package for free. Be sure to include your return receipt and track your parcel online. You’ll get an email once your return is received and processed.
What’s the fastest way to get a Lululemon refund or exchange?
In-store returns are the quickest, with refunds or exchanges processed instantly if you bring your proof of purchase. Online refunds take longer—usually 1–2 weeks after the parcel arrives, sometimes up to 3–4 weeks with postage. If you paid via PayPal or Afterpay, note that refunds must be processed online, not in-store.
What happens if my Lululemon item is faulty after 30 days?
You can still return faulty Lululemon products anytime under their Quality Promise and Australian Consumer Law. If stitching fails or zippers break, Lululemon will repair, replace, or refund even after extended use. Visit a store or contact the Guest Education Centre for quick resolution without extra cost.
