  • All online purchases should be returned to our Head Office at the following address: 99 Victoria St, Melbourne VIC 3000.
  • Customers are responsible for shipping costs of returns unless the return is the result of item/shipping error on our part. Shipping and handling fees are not refundable under all other circumstances.
  • If you have received a faulty or incorrect item, The Hat Project will happily exchange the item and facilitate all associated shipping costs. We strongly advise that you notify us immediately if you receive a faulty or incorrect item. The 30-day return policy criteria still apply.
