Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING

 We Deliver WORLDWIDE, so you can wear Augustine wherever you are in the world!
Shipping Rates
Due to increase freight and overall business costs, we have made the hard decision to charge a flat rate delivery fee of $7.50 for all orders under $199
The good news is, that most of you spend over $199 so these orders will still continue to be freight free and your loyalty vouchers will contribute to the free shipping threshold!

This will be reimbursed via the same payment method as was used initially - i.e: Original gift voucher used, Visa, Laybuy.
*No returns on hand cream, body lotion, hand sanitiser, earrings or shipping costs

How To Return Online Purchases

The product must be in its original condition, with all tags still in place and you must have your packing / returns slip that was sent with your order. The goods are your responsibility until they reach our return department or store. 
On rare occasions a refund may be declined. This should only occur when the product is damaged and has not arrived in its original condition or outside of the returns time frame.
For online order returns (do not drop off), please send to 26 Vestey Drive, Mt Wellington, 1060, Auckland, New Zealand.  Please package the garment securely  back into our Augustine Reusable courier bag, enclose your original Packing Slip/Returns Form, selecting the garment/s you are returning, and send it back to us. Your return will be processed within 7 working days.
If you misplace your Packing Slip/ Returns form you can complete a returns form here and send this back with your order.
Online orders may be returned in store for an exchange, refund or voucher
* 100% money back service does not apply to sale items. We do not accept refunds on sale items so please choose carefully.
