Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People express concerns about their orders, mentioning delays and a lack of communication from the business. Many consumers report that their orders took longer than expected to arrive, and some did not receive their items at all. The lack of responsiveness to inquiries has left several reviewers frustrated. However, a segment of consumers appreciate the quality of the products they received. Despite the mixed opinions on the products, the main issue appears to be the delivery service. Some reviewers also mention discrepancies in sizing.

busy small business

You could tell from the reviews that they were completely pumped during December. my order was delayed and communication wasn’t ideal, but the product itself is great quality.

I still prefer supporting a small business that had a rough month over a big faceless brand

Slow delivery, poor quality.

Ordered Christmas t-shirst for four members of my family late November-2025 from the Gold Coast based business. I live in Brisbane and the delivery time was quoted at Production Time: 3-7 business days and
Shipping Time: 4-10 days. My shirts arrive the week of Australia Day (26th january). Three of the four were not the size listed on the site and Selfaware are not accepting them as returns.

delays, still a positive outcome

I was in the exact same boat as a lot of the recent reviews I'm seeing here. delayed order, slow communication, lots of waiting (almost 3 weeks) my items eventually arrived and the quality made up for it.It wasn’t a perfect experience, but it also wasn’t shady or dishonest. Just a business that got overwhelmed

NEVER USE SELF AWARE - Should be Called SELF AWARELESS

I received my Christmas T-shirts after Christmas. I would never use this Company Again. Of course I disputed this with my credit card company and could send the T-shirt back to them and dispute and get a refund, but I'm exhausted by the lack of self awareness - it is anxiety inducing to be the person responsible for the Christmas t-shirts and having to run to the $2 shop on Christmas Eve to find an alternate. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY is all I can say or like me buy them this Christmas and you will have them 11 months in advance for next christmas. What a DISGRACE.

I ordered around the same time (mid Dec) as a lot of the negative reviews and honestly got worried reading them while I was waiting.

My order did take longer and replies were slow, but it eventually arrived and the quality was actually really good.

It felt like a brand that got absolutely slammed, not anything dodgy. I’m still happy I ordered and would try them again when things calm down

Still waiting on my tshirt and pin.

I ordered a tshirt and pin from Selfawear on 6-12-2025. I realised after I placed the order that I had ordered the wrong size, so emailed them within 5 minutes. I had no response after several days. I emailed again. Nothing. There is no other way of contacting them - there is no phone number. As this was meant to be a Christmas gift, I was a bit frantic, so decided to place another order. Still no response to the first order or emails. I have received several generic 'we apologise and we love you all' emails. Remarkably the second order arrived in the new year. The first order has not arrived, and still no response from them. For all the love, positive, new age vibe, their customer service is disgusting and they still have my money. And I have no doubt they have other customers money as well, without providing products.

Spelling mistake in shirt, poor service

I received the T-shirt that I ordered and the text has a spelling mistake - “everyithing” instead of “everything”. It is spelled correctly in other versions of the shirt, in the title and description of the shirt and was clearly an error. Instead of acknowledging this and offering a refund, I was told (in a clearly chatGPT generated email) that it was intentional and part of the irony of the print - which is clearly not true. It’s a shame they couldn’t have taken that feedback in a helpful way and I’m left now still chasing a refund with very delayed responses to my emails. I ordered this shirt on 9/11/25, received it 8/12/25 and I still have no resolution as of the end of Jan 2026.
An absolute shame that what otherwise appear to be good designs are let down by such terrible customer service.

Poor order checking and very slow customer service!

The print is pretty, but that is why I chose this design. However, I ordered a large, which I knew would fit. They sent an extra large which is huge. I have sent a message to customer support via email and am waiting to see how we can fix this conundrum.

While the support person I finally dealt with was helpful, it was too little, too late.

So, it’s taken about 6 weeks and multiple emails to finally get this sorted. They sent the wrong size, but I had to pay the postage to send the unworn item back. The hoodie cost $69.95, they refunded me $66.06, which I am assumming means they took a portion of a $5 voucher off. But it still leaves me $15.25 out of pocket for postage costs. Quite unfair, since I didn’t order the wrong thing. I already new exactly what size I needed, as I have purchased from them before. The packing slip in the package showed L, the hoodie was an XL. I won’t make the mistake of dealing with this company again!
