Returns & Refunds Policy

Faulty On Arrival

We will exchange or refund any items that are defective when received. The faulty item must be returned to us unworn and unused*, in its original packaging, with tags attached, and with a copy of your invoice.

Please email us within 10 days of shipping letting us know the nature of the fault, whether you would like a refund or a replacement, and quoting your invoice number.

Warranty Returns

Our sunglasses have a 12 month warranty (from purchase date) against manufacturing defects or faults. Damage due to excessive wear and tear, impact, mis-use, alteration, or contact with chemicals is not covered by this warranty.

Please email us letting us know the nature of the fault, whether you would like a refund or a replacement, and quoting your invoice number, then return the item to us for a warranty assessment.

Once we've received the faulty pair, your warranty return will be processed within 7 working days, with a replacement pair being sent out to you, or a refund being made.

Please note refunds can only be made back to the payment method/account that was used for the original purchase. If you purchased by credit card the refund will be made to that credit card, or by Paypal will be back to the original Paypal account used for the initial purchase.

Chemical Damage

Damage to lenses and/or frames caused by exposure to chemical substances including acetone, acids, benzene and benzoids, prolonged exposure to oxybenzone or zinc-based sunscreens, or the use of solvent-based lens cleaners intended for use on glass lenses, is not covered by our manufacturers warranty.

We recommend that, to avoid damage, you wash your Fuglies under clean running water, or with a mild dishwashing liquid, if they do come into contact with these substances.

Prescription Glasses

All prescription glasses are considered Special Orders and are therefore non-refundable and non-exchangeable unless there is a manufacturer's frame or lens fault only. Please choose your frames wisely and use our frame size guide to help with sizing before you choose your frame.

Our prescription lenses and sunglass frames have a 12 month warranty (from purchase date) against manufacturing defects or faults. Damage due to excessive wear and tear, impact, mis-use, alteration, or contact with chemicals is not covered by this warranty.

All prescription lenses will be cut in accordance with the prescription details you provide and with a manufacturing tolerance of +/-15%. If the lenses we supply are confirmed by formal testing (in conjunction with a written test report obtained by you from your optometrist) as being outside of the intended optical range, the lenses will be replaced free of charge.

If you have supplied us with incorrect prescription or lens type details, just send the prescription glasses back to us within 10 days of shipping and a new lenses can be cut and fitted to your frames at an additional cost from $95.00 for one lens, or from $155.00 for both lenses. The actual cost will depend on the lens type required - please contact us for more information.

Please note that, as with all prescription products, vision degradation is progressive with time and your prescription glasses may become unsuitable for the effective correction of your vision within the 12 month warranty period. Subsequent changes to your vision correction requirements are not covered by this warranty.

Non-Warranty Returns

We will happily exchange or refund any non-prescription item within 10 days of shipping that has been purchased in error, that doesn't fit, or that you just don't like.

You will be responsible for the cost of getting the original item back to us and, if you choose to exchange, there will also be a $10.95 re-shipping charge payable before your exchange item is sent out. A $5.00 re-stocking fee (per item) will apply which will either be deducted from your refund, or added to your re-shipping charge.

The item must be returned to us unworn, unused and undamaged*, in its original packaging, with tags attached, and with a copy of your invoice. Worn, used or damaged items will not be accepted for exchange.

Please email us within 10 days of shipping letting us know that they will be coming back, whether you would like a refund or an exchange, and quoting your invoice number.
