Please read the FAQ's below. If you can't find the answer you are looking for our email is at the bottom of the page!
Shipping and Delivery
-
What is pre-order?
We get it - you guys can’t get enough of the Oodie, literally! Sometimes when our Oodies start selling like hotcakes, unfortunately we can completely sell out before our next round of stock reaches our fulfilment centre. If this happens, we will put those Oodies up for pre-order before they’ve arrived. We know what date our stock is due to arrive, so this is the date in brackets next to the product name. All orders will then be shipped out to our customers on that specified date. This allows our customers to reserve their favorite pattern and ensure they get their hands on the Oodie of their dreams.
-
How does shipping and delivery work?
You’ve made an order, the sun is shining and an angelic choir is singing in the background knowing your Oodie is on its way - now what?
Once an order is placed, our team will carefully collect your Oodie from the clouds and package it with hugs and love, so please allow up to 72 hours for our team to pick and pack your order. All orders are sent when all items are ready in full - this means that if you have a pre-order item in your order, all items will wait until that latest item is available and then will be sent out at the same time.
Your Oodie will then gently be sent via the Oodie Stork (or USPS & DHL if the storks are unavailable), and then it should be safely in your patiently waiting hands within 2-8 business days**.
As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow this magical journey. Please don't stress if there are no scan events within the first 24 hours - the system can take a day or so to catch up.
**Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. Should your item have a pre-order date (advised next to the product name in brackets), this is the date of dispatch. The delivery timeframe starts from the pre-order date it ships on. If there’s no date next to the product name, you’re in luck - it’s ready to go!
**Coronavirus impact: Please note couriers are experiencing significant international delivery delays due to limited flights, social distancing requirements and increased parcel volumes.
-
How do I track my order?
Yay, time to celebrate – it’s on its way! After we pass your order to the courier, we will send you a shipping confirmation email which will have a ‘Track Order’ button. This will take you directly to their website so you can follow the live tracking updates!
Haven’t received your shipping confirmation email yet? Your order may be on pre-order, as confirmed on the website at time of purchase. Be sure to check your original order confirmation, you won’t receive a shipping confirmation email until that pre-order date.
-
What is covered shipping?
Although we try our very best, sometimes mistakes happen. Should your package have a delivery issue (such as being lost or missing from delivery), we can lodge an enquiry to follow up on your package and find out what’s happened. If you purchase covered shipping, after our investigation, if your item has been confirmed as lost or stolen, we will send out a replacement straight away. If you choose not to purchase covered shipping, we are unable to guarantee a replacement for your stolen item.
-
Help, I think my order is lost/hasn’t been delivered?
Although we try our very best, sometimes mistakes happen. Should your package have a delivery issue (such as being lost or missing from delivery), we can lodge an enquiry to follow up on your package and find out what’s happened. If you purchase insured shipping, after our investigation, if your item has been confirmed as lost or stolen, we will send out a replacement straight away. If you choose not to purchase insured shipping, we are unable to guarantee a replacement for your stolen item.
If your item still hasn’t been delivered within 8 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation.
*Please note: Once we pass your Oodie order to our courier, your package is with a different provider. We completely understand delays are frustrating, however once your order is with the courier, any issues need to be investigated by our courier. We are able to contact them on your behalf to resolve any issues. Please be assured, we will always do our best to get the issue sorted as quickly as possible for you.
-
Can I change my shipping address?
Oops, Oodie not being sent to the right address? We can absolutely help change this for you! Provided your order has not shipped, please send us the new details and we can change this over for you.
*Please note: We can only send your order to the address you provide on your order - if you have provided an incorrect address, and the package is delivered there, we are unable to retrieve it so please check your address carefully!
-
Do you ship internationally?
Whilst we started in Australia, our Oodies are loved all over the globe! If you are looking to send to a different country, you’ll need to purchase from the specific store for that location.

The Kids Oodies are 30% smaller than the original Oodie and are designed for children aged from 3 to 13 years old. Please see below for further details of our sizing!

Care Instructions
Been living, sleeping, and eating in your Oodie for 3 weeks non stop and only taking it off to go in the shower (hopefully!)? You can find all care instructions on the inner tag of your Oodie, however standard care options for our Oodies are as follows:
- Hand or machine wash in cold water
- If machine washing, ensure a gentle cycle is selected
- Use only mild detergents (approved for wool/ silk)
- Avoid mixing with other colours
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron
- Do not dry clean
However if you really want to best preserve the cuddliness and softness of the Oodie for as long as possible, we recommend hand washing it in cold water.
-
Will you restock an item?
Missed out on your favorite pattern, and now the world just seems that little bit colder? Don’t worry, we continuously restock all patterns, so keep an eye out on the website for when they will be available again.
-
Are your Oodies vegan?
We love our furry friends, and we know you do too! All Oodies are made with cruelty-free vegan Sherpa-fleece and flannel-fleece. So it feels like you’re cuddling a fluffy sheep, but nicer :)
-
Is it overpriced?
Oh dear, you can definitely tell the ones who haven’t experienced the Oodie themselves yet! We can promise you, the Oodie is worth every penny. Gone are the days of shivering in your pajamas with holes in them that you can’t quite justify throwing away - we ensure to source only the best possible materials for our adorable Oodies so that they are designed to last! Once you put that soft, marshmallow-y fluff blanket over you, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.
-
Do you take suggestions or customs designs?
We’re here to take your suggestions – the weird, the wonderful, and the just plain wacky! Feel free to suggest your artistic vision (unfortunately an animal that’s half meerkat/half mermaid has already been suggested, before you ask!). Unfortunately we can’t guarantee your design will be made, and are not yet offering custom Oodies at this point – sorry Oodie friends!
-
What are the Oodies made from?
Apart from being made with clouds and marshmallows, our Oodies are made from a premium sherpa fleece interior and soft flannel fleece exterior. Don’t be fooled by the word ‘sherpa’ though - this is a completely cruelty-free and vegan version of sheep’s fleece made from polyester, so rest assured no fluffy friends are now hairless from the making of your Oodie.
-
Do you offer wholesale or bulk purchase discounts?
Our Oodies are only sold on our online store, so we do not offer wholesale discounts for reselling. If you are looking to make a bulk personal purchase (like for all the mums on the Under 10’s football team who are shivering on the school sport sidelines) please email us at help@theoodie.com for more information!
*Please note: This is subject to stock availability.
-
Can I send an order as a gift?
Have a special someone who you think needs an Oodie in their life (or just trying to earn some major brownie points)? An Oodie is the perfect gift! You can ship an Oodie directly to that lucky lad or lady by entering their address as the shipping address, and your own as the billing address. All Oodies come automatically wrapped with a beautiful ribbon bow, plus we don’t include any value invoices inside the bag as any receipts are sent directly to your own email address. It’s that easy!
*Please note: Due to the fact we use external fulfilment partners, we are unable to include messages in the package - we’re sorry! We think sending an Oodie is a message of love enough though.
-
Are you stocked in any stores anywhere?
Nope, it’s just us! Our Oodies are only available on our online stores, and we have Oodie representatives in all corners of the globe - just make sure you are purchasing from our trusted Oodie sites.

-
I can’t add a product to my cart?
Nobody panic! If you can’t add an item to cart, it may unfortunately be a sold out item. Try your equal-first or second-favourite pattern, otherwise we update our website regularly so that pattern you have your heart set on should be available again and on our website when they will be available again.

Just contact our friendly team a help@theoodie.com and they will be able to help you along the way.
-
How long does it take for my return/exchange to be processed?
We are working hard behind the scenes to get the Oodies in and out of our fulfilment centres. We strongly encourage that you send through a photo of your receipt from the post office as proof your return has been lodged. As soon as we have this information, we can action either your exchange or refund immediately! If you forget to grab this receipt, we will just need to wait until that one gets back to our warehouse before we can go ahead.
-
How long does it take for my refund to be processed?
We’re sad to see you go! Should you receive a refund for your order, you will receive an email confirming this has been processed from our end. From there, it will take 2-5 business days to process into your account, depending on your bank. If it takes any longer than this, we would recommend contacting your bank or merchant (eg. Afterpay) directly.
Payment
-
How secure is your payment?
All jokes and puns aside - your privacy and security is our highest priority. We use Shopify Payments which is an extremely secure and highly encrypted system designed to protect customers and also hold merchants accountable.
-
What payment types do you offer?
We accept the good old-fashioned methods of payment, such as credit cards (Visa/Mastercard/American Express) as well as debit cards that can be used for online transactions. If you’re a bit more tech-savvy, we offer PayPal too!
Need a little longer to pay for your Oodie order? We offer Sezzle payment plans for United States customers only.
-
Do you have payment plan options?
For when payday is just that bit too far away, we have 1 payment plan available. You can select Sezzle as your payment option at the checkout, provided you are located in the United States.
*Please note: This is a separate company to us and you may need to create an account with them.
-
How do I use a discount code?
Woo, it’s on sale - so you’re basically saving money (at least, that’s what we tell ourselves when something is on sale). Simply head to the checkout, and on the first page of the checkout there will be a box for you to enter your discount code in - make sure to click ‘Apply’! This is offered before the payment page so you’re totally aware of how much you can save.
*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders. Strikethrough prices may consider the discount code mentioned in the description. Please check email offers for which items the code is applicable for (eg. single Oodie orders only).
-
I forgot to use my discount code!
Made your Oodie purchase, and as the payment was loading you realised with horror you hadn’t added your discount? Never fear, that opportunity hasn’t slipped away! Simply email our lovely Oodie team at help@theoodie.com and they will be happy to help correct this for you.
*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders.

Gift Cards
-
Where can Oodie Gift Cards be purchased?
Want to get someone you love wrapped in a cuddly cloud, but unsure which pattern will tickle their fancy? Have no fear, Oodie E-Gift Cards are here!
Our newly launched Oodie E-Gift Cards are available now on our website here*. These are available to purchase for yourself or as a gift for someone special. Simply select any pre-selected value from a range up to $500.
*Please note: Oodie E-Gift Cards are only redeemable in the applicable country store that is purchased in.
-
Can I purchase an Oodie Gift Card with a discount code?
Because we treat our Oodie Gift Cards like digital cash, we are sadly unable to offer discounts while purchasing a Gift Card. Don’t worry though, the recipient can use a discount code when redeeming their Gift Card, so it all works out!
-
How do I redeem The Oodie Gift Card?
After the difficult task of choosing which Oodie to buy, simply add to cart as usual and enter the Gift Card Code where indicated at checkout to complete your purchase. If only everything could be this easy…
-
What happens if I doesn’t spend the whole value of the Gift Card?
Don’t panic! There is no need to spend your whole Gift Card in one go (even though it may be difficult not to). The balance remains on the card to be used another time, but it must be used before the card expiry date.
-
Can the gift card be used in conjunction with a discount code?
Absolutely! We want you to get the best discount possible at every turn, even while using a Gift Card. Simply enter the discount code in the same box as your Gift Card code, and Bob’s your uncle!
*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders. Strikethrough prices may consider the discount code mentioned in the description. Please check email offers for which items the code is applicable for (eg. single Oodie orders only).
-
Refunds, Exchanges and Cancellations
Now for the boring stuff, we assure you it is still important none the less:
- Cards cannot be refunded for change of mind
- Cards cannot be replaced or refunded if lost, stolen or altered
- Balances remaining on the card at expiry cannot be refunded -
What happens if I have more than one Gift Card?
Lucky you, we’re not jealous we swear! You can use an unlimited number of Gift Card codes in a transaction. So, spend until your heart is content. We certainly do.
-
What happens if the item I want to buy costs more than my Gift Card?
So close and yet so far, but no need to fret! The Gift Card can be used up to its value and the remaining balance can be paid with another payment type. We have you covered!
-
I don’t have enough credit on my Gift Card to buy the item I want. Can I top up my Gift Card?
Unfortunately, Gift Cards can’t be topped up. Sorry to disappoint!
-
How long are Gift Cards valid for?
You have three years from the date of purchase to use your Gift Card on our site, so you have time to wait for your favourite pattern
to come back in stock! But don’t slack too much, blink and you’ll miss it. -
What happens if there’s a balance left on the card when it expires?
The three years have passed, and although you may be older and wiser, the balance left on your Card will expire. Sorry, we warned you!
Our cuddle consultants are available 24/7 so you can expect to receive a reply within 24 hours! Please note that email is the best method of contacting us as it allows us to keep a paper trail of any issues you may have had with your order.
