The Online Store Returns Policy & Process
Click here to submit an online return. A return request must be submitted to receive your refund within normal processing times.
You may return (where available) your ZIMMERMANN Online Store purchase, including sale items, by sending it back to the ZIMMERMANN Australia Online Store. Subject to adherence to the following terms (ZIMMERMANN Outlets are excluded):
Returns will only be accepted on items within 15 days from the date of delivery. Items returned outside their respective period will not be accepted.
Items must be in original condition (including tags) and must not have been worn, altered or washed. Items must not have been used in photography shoots, Instagram posts, online, commercially or for personal gain. All packaging (including garment bags) shipped with your order must be returned.
Every clothing item shipped has a tag attached reading "Once this tag is removed, this garment cannot be returned". Once this tag has been removed, the garment is no longer returnable. We recommend trying on all purchased items as soon as they are received, to ensure adequate time to return items within our returns timeframe.
If you wish to exchange for another item or size, you can do this in store or simply return it for a store credit or refund and purchase the new item separately.
Swimwear
For all swimwear, clients must try on items wearing undergarments. If returned, the protective hygiene strip must remain in place and the top and pant sizes of bikini sets must match. Returns will not be accepted if the protective hygiene strip is removed or altered, the top and pant sizes of bikini sets differ, or the item otherwise shows signs of wear.
Shoes
Try on shoes on soft surfaces before they are worn as we will not accept shoes returned with sole markings or scratches. Ensure shoes are returned with original shoebox.
Jewellery, Tights, and Hair Accessories
All purchases on cosmetics, earrings, underwear, tights, socks, lace leggings, hair clips, hair chignons, hair scrunchies, headband and hair pins are final sale. We will not accept returns on these items due to hygiene reasons.
Gift Cards
Gift Cards may not be returned and are valid for 5 years from the date of issue. Gift Cards are valid for use on the Hong Kong S.A.R Online Store.

Contact your local customs office to obtain your tax refund.
While ZIMMERMANN covers the costs of returns using the prepaid returns label within Asia, return postage costs are not refundable and we do not refund initial shipping charges for goods returned, other than for faulty items. All international returns should be shipped back to ZIMMERMANN as goods returned to sender to ensure no duties and taxes are incurred for the return.
Any DDU orders refused upon delivery at either the final destination or customs, will have the incurred duties and taxes deducted from the refunded amount and be subject to a 30 day return processing time.
The above policy only applies to the ZIMMERMANN Online Store.
