FAQs

Why has my order been cancelled?

Orders will be cancelled for two reasons:

• Incorrect product allocation has been ordered (e.g. if you have ordered x4 shirts but are only eligible for x1 badge)
• Incorrect shipping option has been selected (e.g. you have selected free shipping but you are not an enrolled Online student). 

Please place your order again after checking the Uniform Allocations page, and the Delivery Information and Collection Dates pages.
