ORDERS:
Once an order has been placed, it is unable to be cancelled.
If you need to amend your order after it has been placed, please email us at orders@kotomi.com.au as soon as possible with your order number and your amendment request. We will do our best to accommodate your request, where possible.
If we cannot facilitate your amendment, you are welcome to initiate a return once you have received your order.
Please contact us immediately at orders@kotomi.com.au with your order number and correct address details before your order is dispatched. If your order has already been processed by the warehouse, we are unable to change your shipping address.
Failed delivery due to incorrect, absent or misspelt postal addresses are at the fault of the customer and therefore not covered by shipping insurance.
A replacement or refund cannot be sent in these instances. If the package is delivered to an incorrect address, the customer will need to contact the courier to attempt to retrieve the package. If the package is returned to our warehouse, a store credit will be issued minus a $15AUD handling fee + return shipping costs once the package is returned.
| Country | Return shipping cost |
| Australia + New Zealand | $9AUD |
| International | $15AUD |
The delivery timeframes provided are in business days and do not include weekends or public holidays. Sometimes there are delays within the postal network that lie outside of our control which may extend the shipping time.

Please check the terms and conditions of the code being used. If you are using a returning customer code, please note that this is only able to be used once per customer. If you are still having issues, feel free to contact us!
