Returns and Exchanges FAQs
Can I return shop-bought items?
On The Common accepts returns and exchanges purchased in store within 14 days of purchase along with the receipt.
Returns can only be refunded by the method of purchase, i.e to the card they were purchased on, cash or value to the gift voucher used. Items must be returned in the original condition (unworn, unwashed, unaltered) and with tags attached.
Without the receipt items are unable to be returned. In the interests of hygiene we do not accept returns on pierced jewellery, underwear or swimwear if the hygiene seal has been removed, unless of course they are of unsatisfactory quality or unfit for purpose. We can not accept returns when washing errors occur. We can not be held liable for washing errors and aim to include relevant washing instructions for all garments.
We reserve the right to refuse any returns if we determine that the merchandise does not qualify for a return.
PLEASE NOTE: If garments are returned back to us in a manner in which we are not able to re-sell we can not accept this return. Please take care when trying garments on to ensure no make up/tan marks occur, also please ensure to keep the garment in an environment that doesn't create an odour on the garment. If we deem an item has to be washed when receiving it this makes the item unable to be re-sold. Due to this reason the garment, will be returned back to the customer. Thank you for understanding.
Can I return items bought in the sale?
Sale items are not eligible for a refund, and are exchange only.
Can I return online orders?
On The Common accepts returns and exchanges of unwanted items within 28 days of the order being delivered, either to the shipping address you've provided or delivery office/collection point. In the event that you're not at the shipping address to sign for your parcel at the time it's delivered, the 28 day policy will start from that date regardless of how many days/weeks you leave it before picking it up from the delivery office/collection point. Unfortunately, we cannot be held liable for delays in collecting parcels. Items must be returned in the original condition (unworn, unwashed, unaltered) and with tags attached.
We do not offer pre-paid returns.
Please post securely as we can not be held liable for returns that go missing in transit :)
Returned orders are your responsibility until they reach us. Please ensure that they are packed up properly and can't get damaged on the way. We always recommend using a signed for service. This way you will receive a tracking number and proof of delivery once the parcel has been signed for by us.

ONCE WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR PACKAGE, YOUR REFUND/EXCHANGE WILL BE PROCESSED WITHIN 14 WORKING DAYS OF RECEIPT. You will receive a confirmation email detailing the refunds process.
REFUNDS can take up to 14 WORKING DAYS from the day the confirmation email is sent. This is dependant on banking providers terms, how long they take to process transactions and the processing times at our end as our team works through each return individually. We say working days as the bank and HQ works within working days only and not weekends/bank holidays. Rest assured we always aim to process refunds within the allocated time provided so please allow up to this time.
