You have within 30 days from the date of your purchase to contact us to remedy the matter.

Please read our Exchange and Return policy for further information and contact our customer service team via the 'Contact Us' form. Where possible, please provide the following information when contacting us:

- Order number

- Where the item was purchased

- Nature of your enquiry e.g.: Exchange etc

- Style number or name of product

A customer service representative will be in touch with next steps for a resolution and to provide the contact details for our returns centre.

Please note, our policy is that exchanges or returns from Online customer orders are processed the same way they were purchased eg: Online exchanges or returns are posted back to our warehouse or returns centre. We do not conduct in person exchanges or refunds at our warehouse or returns centre.

We do NOT provide exchanges or returns on behalf of partnered retailers for online purchases. Partnered retailers should be contacted direct as they have your record of sale logged under their business system.

We do NOT offer 'free postage' for any product returned for exchanges or refunds. This is solely the responsibility of the customer and we are under no binding obligation to provide compensation for postage.

We ONLY exchange for the same product style (like for like) eg: For a different size or colour.

We do NOT offer exchanges or refunds for 'Change of mind' on purchases if the product has been worn more than just trying the slippers or boots on within the 30 day returns period. 

We do NOT accept Boots/Slippers that are wet and show visible signs of being wet (such as buckling, mould, water stains or are soaking wet inside of the footbed or the soles glue adhesion has been affected) or are wet when we receive them inside of the return parcel postbag. This will be considered an unwarrantable claim.

We do NOT accept Boots or Slippers that are damaged by the customers actions. This will considered an unwarrantable claim and the warranty will be considered void in this situation.

We ARE NOT responsible for a customers return parcel. The return parcel is technically considered the customers responsibility until it reaches our business, this includes anything that might occur in transit to the return parcel. (Lost, damaged, weather conditions etc). 

Please note: Our product return rate is minimal, so during any evaluation of an Exchange, Refund or Manufacturing claim. If the claim demonstrates any inconsistencies, please be advised that they will be obvious to our experienced team.

ONCEWILD® Faulty Items - Exchange & Refund Policy

If you have recently purchased a product and wish to enquire about an exchange or refund due to the item being considered faulty. Please complete the 'contact us' form and include the following information within 30 days from the purchase date:

- Proof of Purchase (Receipt or bank statement showing the purchase/transaction)

- Photos of the product (If footwear - Including the soles of the shoes/boots, front, back and side)

- Provide a brief explanation, including the product style, size and colour

All products are reviewed with consideration to the following:

 - How much time has passed since the product was purchased
 - How a consumer is likely to have used the product
 - The length of time for which it is reasonable for the product to be used
- The amount of use it could reasonably be expected to tolerate before the failure  becomes noticeable. 

We also take into consideration the way the product was returned back to us and the physical condition of the product. 

Please note: We have a very experienced/thorough quality control system in place and will be able to quickly identify if a claim is warrantable or not, so you may rest assured that you will be provided with professional customer service. (In accordance with Australian consumer law)

If the item is deemed to have a genuine fault, we will assist with providing the appropriate information to manage next steps for a resolution and provide details for our returns centre and process.

Generally we address claims in a timely manner as we have a low return rate. Any Inconsistencies are obvious to our experienced team.

The following are NOT considered manufacturing faults and will be deemed as an unwarrantable claim:

  • Creasing through wear that may occur and show on Slippers/Boots during the first few wears, this is a beautiful characteristic of the Slippers/Boots as they are non leather. This occurrence is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Slight dye transfer may occur with darker coloured boots during the first few wears. This occurrence is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Lighter coloured Boots/Slippers may pickup inks from clothing with which it comes into contact. This occurrence is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Development in design, fit and styling of products resulting in range evolution over time is not a warrantable claim and is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Alterations made to Boots/Slippers after purchase and wearing are not considered a manufacturing flaw. Eg: Dyeing to change colour or sewing material or patches on boots, repairs by shoe repairers, cleaning gone wrong etc 
  • Friction holes from wearing Boots/Slippers that are not the correct size and toes rubbing on the same spot or general wear and tear of boots over a duration of time is not a warrantable claim and is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • General wear and tear over a period of time is not considered a manufacturing flaw. We do not make any assumptions or claims that our footwear should last beyond a specified timeframe, realistically there will be wear and tear that would occur over a period of time and many factors that might contribute to such wear and tear. Goods are not expected to be indestructible, depending on how the consumer uses the product will determine the outcome of whether they last beyond 365 days or not. How someone wears the boots is beyond our control once the product has left our business and wear and tear will not be considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Boots/Slippers that have been worn extensively during outdoor pursuits and have been damaged by campfire burns, torn from bushwalking or waterlogged by wet weather or snow conditions are not a warrantable claim and any related damage to the Boots/Slippers are not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Boots/Slippers that are wet and show visible signs of being wet (such as buckling, mould, water stains or are soaking wet inside of the footbed or the soles glue adhesion has been affected) or are wet when we receive them inside of the return parcel postbag. This will be considered an unwarrantable claim.
  • Boots/Slippers that have experienced heat damage such as being put too close to the heater or fireplace or have been tumble dried resulting in an altered apperance or the boots glue adhesion on the sole is affected, are not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Boots/Slippers that have been washed in the washing machine resulting with the Slippers/Boots having a buckled, matted, rubbed appearance and soaking to the footbed or damage to the glue adhesion on the soles, are not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Boots/Slippers that have been worn extensively throughout the Australian winter or cold climate conditions that are showing obvious wear and tear are not considered a warrantable claim or a manufacturing flaw.
  • Boots/Slippers that have been extensively worn and have been in the customers possession for several months since the purchase date and taken on and off after wear by pushing down on the heel with the other heel, potentially resulting in the sole coming away from the Boot/Slipper is not considered a manufacturing flaw or a warrantable claim, this is considered misuse of the product and wear and tear.
  • Boots/Slippers that have been chewed by pets is not a warrantable claim and is not considered a manufacturing flaw.
  • Change of mind is not considered a manufacturing flaw.

Please note:  We currently do not offer a 'shoe repair service' for 'wear and tear' but are happy to provide suggestions for customers to consider at their own discretion. In some instances for manufacturing claims, we may decide to offer 'shoe repairs' as a remedy after an in person inspection of the product or after a photo review, this is decided on a case by case situation.

Please note: For any exchanges or refunds, we require the product to be returned back to our returns centre prior to this being conducted.

Please note: Consumer behaviour, climate/season and wear are taken into consideration when reviewing any manufacturing claims, as our products are associated with winter/cold weather. Generally, a higher chance of wear and purchase during this timing is considered as a possibility in any manufacturing claim review that we may conduct.
