FAQs

How are your items sourced?

The majority of items on the Vintage Throwbacks website are sourced from direct-from-the-US wholesalers, local thrift shops, eBay and other online marketplaces. We also sell items from personal collections on behalf of collectors.

What condition are items in?

Vintage items (unless marked as new/unworn) naturally show some signs of wear and tear. All items are given a condition rating. Noticeable imperfections such as stains, holes, marks or tears will always be noted in the item description. Please contact us if you would like to see any specific imperfections before purchasing.

All items are laundered and ironed.

Can you explain the condition ratings?

  • Brand New: Items are unworn and in as-new condition
  • Excellent: Items are classified to be in near-new condition and been worn just a few times. These items have been well-looked and look very close to new
  • Good: Items listed as being in good condition have been regularly worn, but are in a condition where there is plenty of wear left in them. There may be signs of some imperfections that do not affect the quality of the garment
  • Fair: Items listed as being in fair condition have been well-worn, but provide value. There are most likely signs of more obvious imperfections such as stains, tears, holes or stretching. Please ensure you fully read the item description before purchasing

How does your sizing work?

All of our listings included the manufacturer's stated size (the one on the item), as well as chest and length measurements.

We recommend you carefully check item measurements before purchasing, as not all listed sizes are consistent with Australian or New Zealand standard sizing.

For example, some Youth sized items are more close to being an adult’s size small.

What are your shipping costs?

Shipping to Australia

We offer free shipping on all orders $75 and over within Australia. For orders under $75 there is a flat-rate shipping cost of $7.

Shipping to New Zealand

For orders up to $100, our flat-rate shipping cost is $15. For orders over $100 our flat-rate shipping charge is $25.

Shipping outside of Australia or New Zealand

While most of our customers are in Australia or New Zealand, we are happy to offer postage right across the world. Shipping costs for all other countries are calculated at checkout.

What is your returns policy?

Per Australian Consumer Law, if the quality of the product is not as stated, we provide a full refund (excluding shipping) if you return the product within 30 days of the original purchase date.

Please lodge a return request if you wish to make a return.

Are all items you list authentic?

We sell only 100% genuine, licensed merchandise. We are aware of large volumes of counterfeit merchandise sold around the world and we do not support this practice.

If you believe that we are listing any unofficial or counterfeit items on our website, please notify us and we will look into the item further.

Where are you based, and do you have a physical store?

Our business is a 100% online business and we do not have a storefront. We operate from Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

I'm a collector, and would like you to help sell items from my collection.

We'd love to help you out with this, by connecting you with vintage sports clothing lovers across Australia and New Zealand.
