Returns

Need to return your items? We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we will gladly accept returns within 30 days of receipt where the products are in new, unworn with tags attached and in their original packaging.

3 simple conditions for a successful return:

• Item(s) were purchased in the last 30 days and proof of purchase can be provided.
• Item(s) must are unworn & undamaged with original tags attached.
• Items are in their original packaging (shoebox) and in original condition

Shoes must be returned in their original, undamaged shoebox. Returns cannot be sent with the shoebox taped up, written on or exposed. Please use either the original postage bag or an inside-out plastic shopping bag to protect the shoebox during transit. *

*We reserve the right to reject any returns that do not meet these requirements.

Important to note! Orders returned online will be issued a full refund only. If you'd like to exchange online, please place a new order and return your existing item for a refund.

Cost of Returns

You are responsible for the costs of returning any item(s) to our online store. Any returned item(s) are your property and remain your responsibility until they reach our warehouse.

All online returns must be lodged through our Returns portal here. Please note that all online returns must be dropped off at your local post office. We do not accept direct returns to the warehouse.

Refunds

Once you have dropped your parcel off at the Post Office, please allow some time for your item to reach our warehouse. Our top tip is to keep a note of your Australia Post return tracking number, that way you can track your order and see when it reaches us.

Upon receipt, a returned item will be processed by our returns warehouse within 2-3 business days.

Once processed, the refund will show in your account within 2-5 business days, depending on your financial institution.

Please allow an additional 1-2 business days for refund processing over sales periods and public holidays.

Faulty items
If you believe you have received a faulty item, please do not submit a return as our returns warehouse does not process faulty assessments. 

If you believe your online purchase arrived with a manufacturing fault, please contact our Sperry Experts below. We'll request your order/receipt number and photographs of the tongues, tops, sides, soles and fault.

Third-Party & International Purchases

Purchases made online from overseas distributors, outlets or third-party websites such as eBay cannot be exchanged, replaced or returned by Sperry Australia; we advise you to contact the place of purchase for any warranty claims. We do not accept incorrect sizing exchanges or change-of-mind returns for overseas purchases.

We're so sorry to hear that your item is faulty. If you believe any purchased items may have manufacturing faults, please follow the below steps.

You are welcome to head into your local store and have the item assessed by a store manager. If the item is deemed faulty, our team will be able to assist you. Please note that any items purchased with PayPal cannot be returned to store. You will need to contact our Sperry Experts for a faulty assessment.

Alternatively, if you cannot make it to your local store, you may contact our Sperry Experts below for a faulty assessment. You will be asked to provide proof of purchase as well as photographs that clearly display the fault.* 

Please do not send the faulty product back without contacting us first.

* Proof of purchase is required to initiate a Faulty Assessment. 

*If an item has been misused or worn in a manner contrary to its purpose, the item will be classified as ‘general wear and tear’. Forms of misuse may include but are not limited to cuts, heat or burns, exposure to chemicals or harsh elements, contact with gravel/bitumen while using motorized vehicles, skateboarding, machine washing and any alterations (eg. shoe repair).

*If your item has been deemed faulty, we ask that you ensure your item is either destroyed or disposed of. Accent Group and its related entities cannot accept liability for any further loss or damage suffered if the shoes continue to be worn.

If you paid with PayPal, you can get a refund on your return shipping costs if you need to send something back - up to $45 per return and 8 returns each year.

If you attempt to return your item in person, your item will not be accepted for return.

It’s important to take care when packaging your return to ensure that the shoebox is undamaged. To meet the conditions in our Returns Policy, returns cannot be sent with the shoebox taped up, written on or exposed. 

We suggest turning the original packaging or a reusable shopping bag inside out to package your return in and protect it during transit. 

Alternatively, you can purchase a satchel from the post office to return your order in.
