Refund policy
Last updated: 20/07/2026
Every Comedy Republic Apparel item is made to order through our print-on-demand partner, Tapstitch — nothing is printed until you place your order. Because of this, we don't offer change-of-mind returns or exchanges (wrong size, changed your mind, etc.), unless required by law.
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. You're entitled to a replacement, repair, or refund if your item:
- arrives faulty, damaged, or defective
- is significantly different from how it was described or shown on the Site
- is the wrong item, size, or design compared to what you ordered
These consumer guarantees apply automatically and can't be excluded, no matter what any policy says.
How to make a claim
If something's gone wrong with your order:
- Email us at hello@comedyrepublic.com.au within 21 days of delivery
- Include your order number and a photo of the item (and packaging, if damaged in transit)
- We'll assess the claim and offer a replacement or refund, generally within 3–5 business days
Because items are custom-printed, please double-check size, colour and design before completing your order — refer to our size guide on each product page.
Delivery issues
If your order hasn't arrived within the estimated delivery window (see our Shipping Policy), contact us and we'll follow it up with Tapstitch on your behalf.
Refund method
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method. Please allow 5–10 business days for the refund to appear, depending on your bank or card provider.
