Returns Policy
Thank you for shopping with Muscle Nation! Need to return an item? No worries - we’ve made the process simple. Here’s all the information you need to return any items from your order.
To initiate the return process, please click on the following link: Return Portal. Follow the instructions provided on the portal to complete your return.
Our team is working hard to process returns as quickly as possible. Due to increased processing volumes, once your parcel reaches our warehouse, please allow up to 10 business days for it to be finalised.
If your order was placed during a sale period, please allow up to 15 business days for your return to be processed. This includes returns received after the sale has ended, as we work through the high volume of orders.
We appreciate your patience and will have your return sorted as soon as possible.
Conditions for return:
For safety and hygiene reasons undergarments, socks and opened supplements are unable to be returned
- Your item must be lodged in our returns portal and sent within 15 days from the date your order was received. If your return is not shipped within this timeframe this return may be canceled. (During peak sale periods this timeframe is extended to 28 days for Refunds & Exchanges. Store credits have an extended timeframe of 60 days from when your order is received.)
- Items must be unused, unwashed, and in impeccable condition.
- Items must be free from odors, blemishes, signs of wear and tear, or animal/human hair. Returns showing these conditions will not be accepted.
