The customer is responsible for all return-shipping costs regardless of how the exchange-request is being made.

Re-shipment fees will apply to your new order and a new money
request will be forwarded onto you via email; or otherwise, later deducted from your refunded amount. The method of payment for the shipment of your exchange is at HDD The Label’s discretion.

Only once we have received confirmation of payment will the exchange-item be shipped.

If this exchange process is undertaken, your request to refund your original order will only be granted once you can prove an exchange took place (quoting your new order #) and the returning item having successfully met the return conditions as stated on the Returns Policy page.

Failure to confirm/execute the above conditions, your order may be missed and placed in the normal order processing queue & on the assumption the exchange-shipping fees (to you, the customer) are not paid. Furthermore, your new exchanged order cannot be dispatched until a valid tracking # with live tracking events is
supplied.

It is the customer's responsibility to inform us of the above information for this speedy
exchange service to be executed properly. Your original order will only be refunded once your returning item has been physically received and inspected by our returns team.

All eligible items must initiate return within 14 days of receipt of your item. In other words, you must lodge/present your item to the post office to commence its return within 14 days of receiving it. Returns attempted outside of the 14-days of the customer receiving the parcel (as per tracking details) will be denied and returned to the customer.

Currency & Conversions

How do I make payment in AUD (Australian Dollars) if i don't have an Australian bank account & I don't live in Australia?

The bank/financial institution linked to your payment method (for example, credit card, PayPal etc) will process the conversion (in your country's currency) for you in the background and will appear in your statement. This is all automatic; all you need to simply do is hit the 'Pay Now' button.

How does your website know my currency?

All prices displayed on this website will automatically display the domestic currency of the visitors country/region. The currency shown is based by detection of the visitors IP address. Alternatively, you can manually 'select a currency' by clicking the country flag displayed at the top of the website. A drop-down menu will appear which you can scroll down to view a list of the many currency options available to you.

Why does the checkout page show me a different price?

Because HDD The Label processes all orders in AUD (Australian Dollars). While the content of your cart is currently displayed in a foreign currency, you will checkout using AUD at the most current exchange rate.

Can you provide me an example of this currency conversion?

For example, the $USD 230.00 which you see in your product page & your cart page is equivalent to the $AUD 299.00 which you see in your checkout page. This does not mean you are paying more, but simply making payment in AUD, and not in USD.

Why did my item increase/decrease in price at checkout?

This is mainly caused by your checkout converting the price to AUD (Australian Dollars) from your foreign currency displayed. For our international customers, the price you see at the product & cart page/s are displayed in your currency (which has a different conversion rate than AUD - ultimately you will be paying the same price).

Order Info & Processing Times

Why was my order/items within my order cancelled & refunded?

Due to an unforeseen event, the item/s you ordered suddenly became out of stock and is no longer available. We promise these cases are rare. However, if an item within your order does become unavailable, you will be contacted within 24 to 48 hours about the change/cancellation. If your order contains additional items in stock, these items will still be shipped to you and the unavailable item/s will be removed from your order & refunded.

I need to change something on my order, how can I do this?

Please choose carefully as we cannot amend orders after 12 hours of order placement. Unless you are approached by one of our customer care agents to do this, due to stocking issues/delayed arrival dates on our end.

Can I cancel an order after I make payment?

No. Once you place an order via our website it cannot be amended or cancelled. Please choose carefully when placing an order on our website. In extreme circumstances when our staff are constantly harrased/threatened to cancel an order, then a RE-STOCK PENALTY applies. Which means 50% of the total amount paid for your garment will be immediately subtracted from the total refund amount & your order closed. (Excluding any paid shipping fees by HDD to send the item to you & return the item us - if applicable).

How can I prioritise the processing time for my order?

When you select & pay for the 'Priority Expedited Shipping' option at checkout, your order is bumped forward in the processing queue & shipped via the fastest shipping method, as this signifies that your order is genuinely urgent.

Is processing times different to shipping times?

Yes. Once your order has been packed and processed in the queue it then awaits to be shipped; delivery times then apply. Please visit the 'Shipping & Delivery Times' page for our available shipping methods & delivery times for your country destination. You can find this page at the footer of the website.

When will you ship my order?

Orders are processed and shipped Monday to Friday between 9:00am & 3:30pm AEST, excluding weekends and public holidays. If an order is placed before 3:00pm AEST, it will be endeavoured to be processed to be dispatched that same day. However during busy periods, processing times may take up to 2 business day at the very latest.

What does shipped/dispatched/ fulfilled mean?

These 3 words have the same meaning. If you see either of these words on our website or by our customer care agents, it simply means your order has been shipped and it is on its way to you.

How do I know my order has been fulfilled/shipped?

Assuming you have provided your accurate email address; when an order is dispatched, an automatically-generated email from our shipping carrier is sent to your email address containing the tracking information for your parcel. Furthermore, you will also receive a fulfillment email from our online store confirming shipment of your order.

I didn'treceive my order confirmation email?

Please ensure to check your junk/ spam folders in case our emails are not successfully being delivered to your inbox. Or, you may have misspelled your email address during the checkout process - if this is the case, please contact us to correct this.

Return-shipping fees may apply if incurred.

What does re-stock fee mean?

This only applies when you refuse collection of your parcel and must be returned back to us; or in the event we are threatened to cancel orders (which is against our online store policy). In this non-recommended event, 50% of the total amount paid for your garment will be subtracted from the total refund amount. (excluding any paid shipping fees by you/HDD as this is not redeemable).

Store Credit & Coupon Code

My coupon code isn't working? Why?

This could be due to any of the following reasons:

2. You have entered other symbols/characters within the code. Ensure that only letters and numbers are entered. Nothing else.
3. Your code may have expired. Contact us, so we can further assist.

Please ensure to routinely check your Spam/Junk folders in case these emails were not successfully delivered to your inbox.

How do youknow what order/s to verify? & when do you conduct these checks?

Our 'Fraud Analysis' tools and special manual-verification training enables our verifications team to know what appears suspicious. It is only carried out when a risk appears - trust me, we do not do this for fun.

What advantage does this do for me (the customer)?

Someone may have stolen your payment details to place an order on our webiste. So, our verifications team at HDD strives to minimise any risk of potential fraud from occuring by ensuring the payment is verified.

We play our part to ensure all orders are legitimate.

These checks are a duty of care which we owe our customers to minimise fraud and to minimise risk of sending your item to an incorrect/ incomplete address. It is in your best interest to co-operate with our verifications team when these processes take place. They are going out of their way to help you & to ensure our website is fraud-free and safe for everyone to enjoy.

Why did Ireceive an email to verify my order? Or to confirm my shipping address?

Your order may be subject to a routine verification process and/or address-checks. In the event these post-order checks are initiated to you via email (soon after placing your order); your response is required before your order can be fulfilled.

Why has my order been selected for a Security Check?

We care about our customers and the protection of their money.
All online retailers receive fraudulent transactions, which causes both us and the innocent parties much inconvenience and distress. We have a security system in place that flags orders which details need to be confirmed.


Don't be alarmed if this is you! This may simply be because your card does not match the new address you have just moved into.
Our team will contact the cardholder and simply confirm details with them to ensure it is the card owner that has placed the order and not an online thief! Once details are confirmed, orders are resumed and processed as normal.
In no way is this process intended to discriminate, offend or inconvenience our customers; we genuinely want our customers details to be secure when shopping online :)

What Fraud Protection is offered on your website?

All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway provider database where the information is kept confidential.

Why do I need to send through a screenshot of my info?

The security of your info and money is really important to us so in order to keep our customers safe we perform 100's of security checks everyday.
Don't be alarmed if this happens to you, we just need a little more info to validate and confirm the payment of your order so we can have it shipped.


Our security team may contact you by phone, email or text requesting a screenshot of the transaction from your internet banking or banking app. You can of course cover up any personal info like your account number, account balance or other transactions.
We only need to see the date the transaction was made, our business name and the amount of your order being paid to HDD The Label so we can verify your payment and have your order processed:)


We may also ask to see your Photo ID to ensure your home address matches, and that your name is the same as the cardholder name.
