Returns & Refunds

For orders placed after the 4th of August 2020, our returns policy has been extended to 60 days.

We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we will gladly accept returns within 60 days of receipt where the products are in new, unworn with tags attached and in their original packaging. 

Important to note! We do not offer exchanges for online orders. You'll automatically be issued a refund for any returned items. If you would like to exchange an item, we recommend placing a new order online and return your existing item.

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.

If you would like to avoid return postage fees, you are welcome to visit one of our stores and return or exchange your shoes in person. Please note that we cannot facilitate Paypal refunds in store. 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 2-5 business days.

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

Please note that with any Public Holidays, there will be an additional 1-2 business days for your return to be processed.

Exchanges & Store Credit

In-store purchases that are eligible for return and within 60 days of receipt may be exchanged for other items, or store credit provided. It is at the discretion of our Timberland team to decide whether a full refund will be provided.

Faulty items

Returns will be accepted on any faulty item(s) returned within a reasonable timeframe.

If you believe your online purchase arrived with a manufacturing fault, or you received something different to your original order, we'll be happy to cover the cost of the return.

If this is the case, please contact our Customer Experience team below with as many details as possible about the order. We'll request your order/receipt number and photographs of the tongues, tops, sides, soles and fault.
