How do I wear a Wonderjock?
The idea is to basically sit your package into the pouch so that the edge of the pouch sits completely underneath and behind it.

The most important thing is that you’re comfortable.
When is my order processed and sent?
We process and ship all orders the following business day, not including Australian Public Holidays. Click
here to find a list of the Public Holidays in New South Wales.
I can't select the size I want
If it says "Discontinued" next to the size, then unfortunately it is gone for good. We have stopped production on the item and the stock has sold out.
But if it says "Out of Stock", then don't worry there'll be more available soon. For an Out of Stock item, just select your size, click on "Notify Me" and enter your email address. We'll let you know as soon as the size is back in stock!
Is GST calculated for Australian orders?
As we ship to over 150 countries, GST is NOT included in the prices when items are selected and will not be calculated until Australia is confirmed as the destination country when completing the order.
Regardless of the billing address or from where in the world you place your order, if the destination address is within Australia, GST will be added to the total of the order.
Note: Norfolk Islands, Christmas Islands and Cocos Islands are GST exempt territories.
I just placed an order but I didn't receive an email confirmation
Firstly, ensure that you indeed finished the checkout process and completed the order. The last page displays the order number; it is your receipt.
If you have completed your order, we suggest you take a look in the spam folder of your email account. Please add aussieBum to your safe sender list in order to receive emails from us.
If unable to locate confirmation email, it may have been mistyped or undeliverable.

Will I have to pay any taxes and duties for my order ?
International orders can incur taxes and duties as determined by the Customs agency within the destination country.
Although this doesn't always happen, assessment of duties and taxes will be based upon the value of the order and the Tax-free threshold (if applicable) for goods imported into the destination country. Payment of such taxes/duties is the responsibility of the recipient. This will occasionally be listed as an 'Additional Postage Fee'.
(More information can be obtained by contacting your local customs office.)

Unfortunately, due to International Customs regulations, all parcels must be marked as "Merchandise" with the appropriate value. Otherwise, the parcel may be denied and returned to sender.

What is meant by "Sheer Rating" ?
It means how see-through the garment becomes when wet. 1 on the scale is the least see-through, 10 is the most see-through. As an example, Black is not very transparent and has a lower sheer rating, whereas White becomes highly transparent when wet, therefore has a sheer rating of 10 on our scale.

here to view a list of countries that are not eligible for free shipping.
Standard Airmail delivery
It usually takes around 4 to 10 business days to ship to most countries, but sometimes the Customs agency within the destination country may choose to delay individual shipments as a random security/inspection measure. These delays can be between 4-6 weeks except for Belgium, Germany, Brazil, Italy and the Netherlands which can be up to 8 weeks on very rare occasions.
Express by FedEx delivery
FedEx deliveries are received within 5 business days of shipment and are fully traceable via the
FedEx website
Please note that FedEx deliveries are commonly assessed duties and taxes which are not covered by aussieBum.
Failure to cover these charges will result in your shipment being returned to us which incurs a high fee. We advise that any return shipping charges under these circumstances will be your responsibility. By proceeding with FedEx, you authorise aussieBum to charge the return fees to you.
Also, for shipments to the US of over AUD$250.00 value, US Customs require the consignee (parcel recipient) to fill an importer form with your Social Security Number (SSN). Please ensure you have this number available or choose a different shipping method.
Australian Standard delivery
AusPost will deliver your parcel within about 5 business days. Delivery within Sydney Metro area is generally shorter: approx. 2 - 3 business days.
If nothing has arrived within 5 business days from shipment, give your local Post Office a call just to make sure it's not waiting there for collection.
If the parcel is not at the Post Office, give our Customer Service Team a call and we'll chase it up with AusPost.

Exchange Form
Who pays the postage for an exchange?
For your first exchange of products on an order, we will ship your replacement free of charge .
The only cost to yourself is that of the return postage of the original item(s) to us. If a further exchange on the same order is requested, aussieBum reserves the right to charge additional postage for the shipment back to you.

I've already worn them! Can I still exchange them?
No. For health reasons we can only accept garments that are in original condition and that have not been worn or washed. You wouldn't want to buy undies that someone had already worn. If a worn item is sent back to us, we will typically contact you to better understand the reason for the return. But where an item is returned without first notifying us that the item has been worn, we may choose to send the item(s) directly back to you.
I have returned my aussieBums for an exchange but have not received or heard anything back!
Typical shipping time for a return to aussieBum is around 10 days, but it depends on the origin . This can be longer due to Customs inspections when entering Australia. As soon as your exchange has been processed by us, we will send you an email letting you know that your replacement order on its way.

The Wonderjock
Where does the Wonderjock come from?
You!
The idea for the Wonderjock came from all the feedback we received from our customers
With ideas pouring in from our fans, we never stop redesigning and reinventing ourselves.
Which items are equipped with the Wonderjock technology?
The items with the pouch technology are indicated with the following terms: Wonderjock Patriot, WJ Pro, WJK, Boosterjock and BJK.
We offer them in a variety of both underwear and swimwear styles.
What is the difference between Boosterjock and Wonderjock?
They're pretty much the same thing!
Both have the same feature that lifts and enhances your package.
How do I wear a Wonderjock?
The idea is to basically sit your package into the pouch so that the edge of the pouch sits completely underneath and behind it.
Look down and you’ll see the Wonderjock effect: lifting you up and out providing a bigger but natural look!
The most important thing is that you’re comfortable.
