I placed an order for collection, when can I come and collect it?

Once your online order is ready for collection you will receive an email notifying you of this. It is the buyer's responsibility to collect their goods.

I placed an order online and selected Standard Shipping, however I need this urgently, can I change my order to Express, or can I collect it in-store?

Please contact us immediately to discuss your options, as we can either offer you:

  • collection and refund your postage costs if the order has not yet been sent.
  • express shipping if the order has not yet been sent. This requires an additional payment to upgrade to express shipping which will need to be paid prior to a refund for standard shipping being issued and your order being sent. The RMIT Store staff will direct you on how to make this payment upon notification.
Do you do partial delivery?

We will never send orders out until all item’s purchased are accounted for. This includes special / custom orders which may take 4-6 weeks. Therefore, if you purchase other items, such as a hoodie or tee, you will not receive your order until all items can be sent or collected, despite paying for Standard or Express shipping.

We suggest making separate orders in instances where you’d like certain items while waiting for your special / custom order to arrive.

Do I get a student discount?

We try to keep our prices as competitive as possible to suit all student budgets. If you’re after a good deal, stay tuned for our sales which we attempt to run monthly specials and promotions.
