International Orders

We ship worldwide via trusted international courier services. As shipping costs vary by destination and parcel weight, international orders are not available through the standard online checkout. Please contact us directly at info@darknesswithin.com.au with the items you'd like to order and your delivery address, and we'll provide you with a personalised shipping quote. *Outside of Australia taxes & tariffs are paid by customer in the delivery cost or via entry to their country.

Returns & Exchanges

We want you to love every piece from Darkness Within. If you're not completely satisfied, you may return eligible items within 14 days of delivery for a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, items must be:

  • Returned within 14 days of the delivery date
  • Unused, unworn, and in their original condition
  • In original packaging with all tags and accessories intact

  • Digital products or downloadable content
  • Items returned after the 14-day window

Return shipping costs

Return shipping is at the customer's expense unless the item is faulty, damaged, or we sent the wrong item. In those cases, we'll cover the return postage and send a replacement or full refund — your choice.
