Unfortunately, PayPal orders cannot be refunded in-store. As PayPal is a heavily encrypted, secure payment method, our store systems are unable to process PayPal refunds. 

If your item meets our Returns Policy, you are welcome to return to our online store and we will initiate a refund for your order.

PayPal will be in touch once they have finalised your refund and you can then transfer the funds into your bank account if you wish.

Head to our Returns Portal to start the process!

Please note that we do not offer exchanges for online orders.  If you would like to exchange an item, we recommend that you place a new order online and simply return your existing item.

Accidentally ordered the wrong size or had a change of mind?

We offer both return and exchange options, provided your items meet our Returns Policy. 

Exchanging online 

If you wish to exchange online, we recommend placing a new order and returning your existing item online for a refund. Orders returned online will be issued a full refund only.

Our online return instructions will guide you through the returns process. 

Exchanging in-store 

Our in-store team will happily process exchanges for store purchases and online purchases made with credit card or Afterpay. 

Afterpay purchases can be exchanged for same value items only. If you wish to exchange for an item of a higher or lower value, we suggest returning and repurchasing. Please note that exchanges can only be facilitated against the original card. 

Please note that PayPal purchases can only be exchanged for a different size in the exact style. As PayPal is a heavily encrypted, secure payment method, our store systems are unable to process PayPal transactions. PayPal orders must be returned online if you are not exchanging sizes in the exact style. 

Once you have paid for your return, you will receive an email with further instructions.

Lodge your return at your nearest Post Office and refer to your tracking number displayed at the bottom of the email.

Clicking on that link will also direct you to the Couriers website where you can track the status of your return:

Please note: It can take anywhere between 24-48 hours for the tracking to show on the Courier's website.

You will be refunded according to your original payment method within 2-5 business days* of your return being processed:

Debit or credit card 

Your refund will reflect in your account within 2-5 business days of your return being processed. 

PayPal 

We will initiate your refund, and PayPal will be in touch once they have finalised your refund. You'll be able to transfer the funds from PayPal into your account. 

Afterpay 

When your refund is processed, Afterpay will send you an email and make the necessary adjustments to your payment schedule. Please see our article on Afterpay refunds for more information.

Please allow an additional 1-2 business days for refund processing over sales periods and public holidays.

It’s important to take care when packaging your return to ensure that the shoebox is undamaged. To meet the conditions in our Returns Policy, returns cannot be sent with the shoebox taped up, written on or exposed. 

We suggest turning the original packaging or a reusable shopping bag inside out to package your return in and protect it during transit. 

Alternatively, you can purchase a satchel from the post office to return your order in.

Unfortunately, customers cannot attend our warehouse or office to return items due to OH&S restrictions. 

If you attempt to return your item in person, your item will not be accepted for return. 

Please follow our approved return procedures to ensure your return is processed correctly. 

If you wish to avoid return postage fees, you are welcome to return your item in-store if you paid via Afterpay or credit card. Paypal orders must be returned online.

We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we're sorry to hear about your experience with our items.

Important to note: If your item was purchased from a stockist and not directly from us (in-store or online), you will need to return to the retailer and have it assessed by them. Unfortunately, our Merrell Experts are unable to facilitate exchanges or refunds from our end for other retailer purchases as we don't have access to the original transaction.

Once the place of purchase has assessed your item(s) they will be able to advise the next steps for you.

Purchases made online from overseas distributors, outlets or third-party websites such as eBay cannot be exchanged, replaced or returned by Merrell Australia; we advise you to contact the place of purchase for any warranty claims. We do not accept incorrect sizing exchanges or change-of-mind returns for overseas purchases.
