FAQs
Returns & Exchanges
How do I return something?
Oopsie. Did we make a poopsie? It’s super duper easy. Click here to visit the returns centre, and it'll walk you through the process.
What is your exchange policy?
We offer exchanges or store credit on retail items that are unworn and in the same condition received for up to 60 days after purchase.*
Australian returns are donated to the homeless and disadvantaged through our Thread Together partnership. So, if it's the wrong size or something else isn't quite right, click here to get started, and we'll make it right.
*In other words, don’t send us back a tee that has mysterious stains on it. We tend to lick things to identify the source. And we don’t want to get sick or pregnant.
What is your exchange policy for discounted and free items?
You can return the item that you obtained at a discounted price for store credit. Store credit will equate to the value you paid for the discounted item. Free items will not be included in the store credit.
You can exchange the item that you obtained at a discounted price or for free only if you exchange with the same product type and same value.
Orders & Shipping
Do you ship worldwide?
Ok—we get it, you live in a country that doesn't deport tennis players, fancy pants. Keep pouring hot sauce into our wounds, why don't you?
Anyway, you win. We ship worldwide. Click here for international delivery times.
How long will my order take? I’ve got a brownie in the oven, and it’s almost ready.
Click here for our updated shipping time estimates, based on current order volumes. You can track your order here. If your brownies contain anything that rhymes with marriedjolana, please meet us at the back of our warehouse at midnight. And bring a slice or seven.
I'm an incredibly impatient millennial, and I need to know where my order is. Like right now. Tell me. Why haven't you told me yet?
Alright, pal. Just because you can order ice cream in your underpants doesn’t mean you can bully us into sending you tracking deets immediately.
But we always do. So, 99% of the time, it’s due to our email notifications being sent to your spam inbox. Check there first. You could also add support@sidekickthreads.com to your trusted contacts list (if you really, really love us) and subscribe to SMS updates.
If you think your order was stolen by internet pirates (or you just can’t find a tracking number), send us an email. We’ll enlist Sherlock Holmes to investigate.
Do you offer Click & Collect? I hate convenience.
Oh, it’s you—one of those fruitcakes that hates getting dopamine-boosting deliveries.
Well, yes, you weirdo. We offer click and collect, but only for Melbourne customers. Simply select pickup at the first stage of checkout 😎
If it’s because the local postie is coughing on your mail, maybe try blowing them a kiss. There’s nothing like a bit of awkwardness to cut through the tension.

Product & Sizing
How do I find my size? I ate too many ice creams while working from home.
Us too, friend. Us too. You can find a size chart next to the size options on every product page. Simply follow the instructions to find your perfect size. And if you’re really, really struggling, feel free to get in touch.
I’m not a domesticated human. How do I wash my threads?
So—you must live in your parents’ basement, eh? Here, maybe try this first: How to Wash Clothes in a Washing Machine (For Dummies).
In short, your threads should last a long time with a little love and tender care. Here’s our love-you-long-time guide:
1. Turn your threads inside out.
2. Machine washing is totally fine, but try and make sure it’s a cold wash and a gentle cycle.
3. You can throw them in the dryer, but it’s much better to air dry.
4. There’ll be some minor shrinkage after washing, which is standard cotton 101—a bit like your standards when you’re still single at thirty.
Greta Thunberg is my spirit animal. Where are your clothes manufactured?
Sheesh—you must love soy lattes and ethically-sourced dingleberries. What’s with the third-degree?
Don’t fret, pals. We’re all tree huggers at Sidekick Threads. All our threads are printed and packed on demand. All of our garments are ethically sourced from China and Bangladesh. All factories are routinely audited to ensure they meet ethical standards relating to work conditions, minimum remuneration, no child labour, workers' benefits, and protection of the environment. While we would like to use all-Australian products, this is unfortunately not possible due to the costs involved and the lack of local manufacturers that exist these days.
How often do you release new designs? I’ve made a commitment to buy every tee that you make.
First and foremost, we love you. We add fresh designs every Thursday - AKA Sidekick Threads Thursdays. If you want to keep up-to-date, subscribe to our emails and follow us on social for the latest prints.
Are your sizing charts 100% accurate? I don't gamble with my life, and I'm still recovering from buying a M that was really an XL.
Well, are you still using photos of a skinnier doppelgänger on your dating profile?
Just like your waistline, variances in sizing are impossible to avoid during production, even with top-notch quality control. The measurements provided in our size charts are just an indicator of sizing, so please allow for variations of 1-2 centimetres.
So, please just have that fifth frosted cupcake. Treat yo self.
Can I get a design on a different coloured product? I’m a butterfly, and I need to spread my wings.
Ahh, so you’re into unicorn vomit? Sure you can. Flick us an email, and we’ll customise the order to your liking.*
*This is not an open invitation to send us strange suggestions. We don’t stock ‘brown like the colour of my bamboo toilet paper after that chilli con carne last night’. We suggest therapy, but please keep using bamboo toilet paper. Do the good things for the environment.
