We're so sorry this has happened! While we try to ensure all orders are accurate, they are hand picked so there is occasionally human error.

We take fraud very seriously too, so all credit and debit card holders are subject to validation and authorisation by both us and the card issuer.

If you've got a promo code to use at 24Hundred but you need some help, try following steps.
Step 1 - Check you've entered the code correctly
You need to enter the code exactly as it was given to you, without any spaces. Type or copy and paste the code into the 'Promo/Student code' box. To make the text box appear, click on the arrow at the end of 'Promo/Student code or Vouchers'.
Step 2 - Make sure you click 'Apply code'
Once you've entered the code, click on 'Apply Code' and it will add the code to your order. When the code has been applied to your order, you'll see the promo value and the total of your order will change to reflect the code.
You must enter the discount/promo code when you are checking out as it can't be applied later.
If you find that your promo code still isn't working please check the below:
You can only use one promo code per order. This applies to our free delivery codes too.
Promo codes cannot be used with orders paid for by gift voucher.
Our promo codes vary so do the terms and conditions of each, so make sure you check when you receive any codes. Codes may only be valid for certain items and the majority of codes will have an expiry date. You should be able to find the terms and conditions in the same place you found the code whether it be through an email or on our website. You can also check out our general terms and conditions.
Some codes will only work for specific people or for specific countries. The terms and conditions will state if the code can only be used in a certain country. If you've received the code in an email from 24Hundred it may also be locked to that email address. Make sure you're trying to use the code using your 24Hundred account that has the same email address as the code was sent to.
If you got the code from a friend or an unaffiliated website, it is most likely that the code is not working due it being locked to specific customers' accounts.
Step 3 - Contact us
If your promo code is still not working after checking all of the above, then please contact the Customer Care Team - we'll be happy to help. You can do this via the chat function on our site, email or Facebook Messenger via the 24Hundred page.
We always aim for make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly and we’ll take you through the process.
It depends on the creator and the product. All options are outlined on the product page, so look out for customization options there.
Buying a 24Hundred gift voucher is easy!
Gift vouchers can be bought in a selection of local currencies including Euro's and Dollar's depending on your location, and also using Afterpay.
The gift voucher can only be spent when shopping on the same browse country as where it was purchased, even if the same currency is accepted in another country.
Vouchers can be used all at once, or in several transactions.
If you buy a gift voucher for someone in another country they have to use it within the time frame applicable to that country. Gift vouchers bought with AU as the browsing country will expire 2 years from the date of receipt. Gift vouchers bought with the US as the browsing country do not have an expiry date. Gift vouchers bought from a 24Hundred browsing country outside of Au or the US will expire 10 years from the date of receipt.
Please note, it can take up to 24 hours for the gift voucher to be sent so don't worry if it's not received straight away.
Please note, it can take up to 24 hours for the gift voucher email to be sent so don't worry if it's not received straight away.
If you still haven’t received the gift voucher after 24 hours, please contact the Customer Care Team here.
Please note all gift vouchers are digital and sent via email.
Please get in touch with our Customer Care Team and we’ll do our best to sort for you.
If you didn't buy the gift voucher yourself, you'll need to contact the person who bought it and get them to contact 24Hundred to cancel it.
Sorry we cannot return or cancel tickets or digital downloads.
AfterPay is a payment method which allows you to buy now and pay later, making budgeting easier, allowing you to break down your payments into four equal instalments.
How does it work?
- AfterPay is available to all customers with a billing and delivery address registered in Australia only.
- Your order will need to total between $20-$1500 in order to be able to pay with AfterPay.
- To pay using AfterPay, you'll need to provide a valid and verifiable email address, a mobile number as they may need to contact you and an Australian credit or debit card. It's important that you provide the correct details, as you won't receive the relevant payment information.
- Once you've placed your order using AfterPay, you'll receive an email from them and also your 24Hundred order confirmation email.
- You'll be requested to pay for your 4 instalments online every 2 weeks. You can pay at your convenience, with no extra cost via credit or debit card.
- You'll receive a reminder two days before your payment is due via SMS or email.
Your card will be debited once your payment has been approved by your bank or provider.
If your card is not authorised, your card will not be debited, and we'll email to let you know your bank or card issuer wouldn't authorise the payment.
Please remember that even if a payment is not authorised, some card issuers may still reserve the money, meaning you can't use it for a short period.
You may be charged international transaction fees by your bank if you're shopping outside Australia - this charge comes directly from your bank and is outside of our control.
We can't guarantee that when you place your order you will or won't be charged a fee.
You may also be charged customs or import duties once the order reaches its destination country and must be paid by the recipient of the order. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies and charges vary widely from country to country and we recommend that you contact your local customs office for further information. When customs charges are due, it may impact the time it takes your parcel to reach you.
PACKAGING
We are constantly working to improve our packaging to ensure that materials used are as sustainable and environmentally responsible as they can be. Wherever possible, we avoid plastics, have switched to compostable mailers and use cardboard to package vinyl and bulky items.
The team at 24Hundred are constantly looking at how we can improve in our efforts and will regularly update FAQs with regards to our sustainability efforts.
Very carefully!
We use a combination of bubble wrap and cardboard to package vinyl for shipping.
We use bubble wrap around the vinyl sleeve as it is lightweight, durable, insulates from extreme heat/cold and reduces damage in transit. We then use a rigid cardboard mailer to ensure the vinyl stays flat and doesn't snap or bend.
As we try our best to provide exceptional service, some factors like shipping and handling are outside of our control, and damage can occasionally happen unfortunately.
We recommend using an insured carrier service to deliver your vinyl order, especially if it is a limited edition item.

PRODUCT
Some items on our site are printed on demand, meaning that your order is sent to our third-party warehouse as soon as it is placed, who print the design you chose onto the garment before shipping it directly to you.
We offer this service as it has so many benefits for the environment including reduced wastage (no excess stock leftover) and reduced carbon emissions (not moving stock from supplier warehouse, to printers, to warehouse then shipping).
Due to the items being printed after an order has been placed, they can sometimes take longer to be dispatched to you. Annoying we know, but well worth it due to the reduced impact on the environment!
Due to the custom nature of each print on demand item, we aren’t able to offer exchanges or refunds due to change of mind.
For more information please check product pages.
Our size charts for all garments are located here.
We do offer personalisation for some items. All options are outlined on the product page, so look out for customization options there.
There are certain items that we tie-dye by hand; which means there's always a chance that each final product will vary from one another. This is what's expected from the tie-dye process, but it's also what makes each variant of the garment unique!
The same applies to our general tie-dye range; there's a long process involved in the production phase when making these, and we cannot guarantee the final look and colour. Sometimes, they'll be different from the mockup image we use online, but we'll always try our best to use images that represent the final product so you aren't disappointed!
We automatically dispatch the entire order in one to avoid you having to pay for double shipping.
Your order will be sent out in full once the pre-order item has reached its release date. Please check here for the release status of your pre-order item.
If you would like us to dispatch the items that are ready to ship, please send us an email and we will organise for you.
So sorry about this! While we do Quality Check all items, this can sometimes happen.
Please email us with your order number, and photos of the faulty item so we can get it sorted for you.
Sometimes!
We work directly with the artists on their merch, and while we can make suggestions about what to re-stock the decision is ultimately theirs.
Yes we do! Get in contact via our wholesale contact form here.

SUPPORTING ARTISTS
Yes they do!
We love to support our favourite artists, and we know you do too.
Music streaming and the outbreak of COVID19 have changed the way the music industry operates, and artists are struggling to make ends meet the world over.
This is not a sales pitch to get you to buy merch, it is the reality of how many artists are surviving financially and we are so thankful for your ongoing support. As are they.
“One t-shirt is the equivalent to 5000 streams on Spotify. 76% of all music is now streamed and not bought physically or digitally. Band merchandise is the most direct way of supporting an artist.” – While She Sleeps
We only stock genuine and authentic items, bought directly from the Label, as a Licensed Product or made in collaboration with the artist.
We are proud to say profits from our products go to the artists you love.
VINYL CARE
Vinyl records are best stored upright (vertically) and away from extreme heat, light or humidity to avoid warping. Investing in good storage is a good idea if you intend to become a vinyl collector.
Storing vinyl inside the inner sleeve (usually paper) and cover (usually cardboard) is the best way to keep them free of dust and dirt, which are cause the audio quality to get worse over time.
Consider investing in good quality polyethylene lined inner and outer sleeves to keep vinyl and cover art in the best condition possible.
Do not lay records flat as this is likely to cause them to warp.
The natural oils in our skin are really bad for vinyl, so it’s best to touch it as little as possible. Always avoid touching the grooves, and only touch the outer edges and inner label when removing vinyl from its sleeve.
Using a carbon fibre brush before and after playing your vinyl records can really help to keep them clean and in perfect condition.
Cleaning vinyl before the first play can also help to protect the record player stylus.
Stylus maintenance is also very important to safely play your records without damage.
There are a few different methods for cleaning vinyl, here are a few:
By hand
Start by placing the vinyl on a soft, clean surface, and apply a record cleaning solution. Follow the instructions for use carefully, and allow the vinyl to dry properly before replacing back in storage,
Record cleaning machines
Serious vinyl collectors and enthusiasts might like to invest in a record cleaning machine. These come in a range of prices depending on your budget and make it quicker and easier to clean lots of vinyl.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Arguably the best way to clean vinyl, as it is the least abrasive and most effective, however it is the most expensive.
Ultrasonic cleaning works by using ultrasound to agitate a liquid, producing tiny cavitation bubbles.
Lots of tiny bubbles produce high forces, helping to gently lift contaminants adhering to the record surface.
Playing records with a worn or damaged stylus can cause irreparable damage to your vinyl, so make sure it is in perfect order before you play.
Unfortunately, not! There are many blogs out there on how to repair vinyl records, you could give it a try or take it to a professional to see what they can do.
Very carefully!
We use a combination of bubble wrap and cardboard to package vinyl for shipping.
We use bubble wrap around the vinyl sleeve as it is lightweight, durable, insulates from extreme heat/cold and reduces damage in transit. We then use a rigid cardboard mailer to ensure the vinyl stays flat and doesn't snap or bend.
As we try our best to provide exceptional service, some factors like shipping and handling are outside of our control, and damage can occasionally happen unfortunately.
We recommend using an insured carrier service to deliver your vinyl order, especially if it is a limited edition item.
