At Millinery Hub, I strive to provide you with the best service and products I can. It is a small family-style business, and I believe in treating people as people, not customers. I’d like to think I’m approachable and I value questions and feedback as it helps me build a more worthwhile experience for all.

If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.
Shipping
I go to the post office on weekdays. I get most orders out the day they come in. However, this is not a guarantee. In some circumstances, I may take a day or two to get your order done.
I send most parcels via Australia Post. Shipping times vary depending on where it is going. Postage times can be very unpredictable since 2020 as you would probably have experienced. However, most parcels are delivered in a timely manner as before.
Australia Post has revoked the overnight express guarantee. But express post still remains the quickest option.
If your parcel takes too long to get to you, unfortunately, this isn’t something I can control. Even for express post (see below). As an online shopper, you need to allow enough time for things to go wrong. If you order last minute or need something fast, please let me know, and I will do my best to get it to you on time, but that is all I can do.
Express Post. Australia Post used to offer a Next Day Guarantee for express post parcels in their express network. However, since 2020, they no longer offer such.
I have found postage times are largely back to pre-pandemic times.
Returns, Refunds and Exchange
I stand by the quality of my products and usually check them as they are packed. However, sometimes things get past me, and I may ship an item that is not right. If you aren’t happy with any product or I have sent you the wrong item, please contact me, and I will endeavour to remedy the situation.
I may issue a refund or a store credit depending on the circumstances.
If you change your mind or ordered the wrong product, I may be able to accept unused items back. In this situation, you will be responsible for the return postage, and you will be issued a store credit to be used on your next purchase.
Your rights in this regard are available on the ACCC website.
If I have sent you the wrong item, I apologise. Please get in touch, and I will do my best to rectify the problem.
If your item arrived damaged, I’m sorry that has happened. Please notify me as soon as
you are able and send some photos of the product and packaging.
Damaged parcels rarely occur, and I need to determine if the packaging
was wrong or if it was the post. If I claim for a damaged parcel, I need to send proof of the damage, and your photos will help.
I will most likely send you a replacement.
