ORDERS
When will my order be processed?
Orders are processed once payment is received. Once payment is confirmed, dispatch timeframes are between 1-3 business days, excluding public holidays and peak periods i.e. Black Friday. Tracking is issued when your order is printed, and live updates will appear once the carrier has collected and scanned the parcel.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Please contact us at orders@shevoke.com as soon as possible. We process orders quickly and cannot guarantee changes once fulfilment has begun. We reserve the right to cancel any order at our discretion, in which case a full refund will be issued.
I received an incorrect item, what do I do?
Contact orders@shevoke.com with your order number and a photo of the item received. We’ll sort it out right away.
What is a pre-order, and when will I receive my item?
Pre‑order items aren’t yet in stock and will be dispatched as soon as they arrive. The estimated delivery date is shown in the product description and may shift slightly due to manufacturing lead times. We’ll keep you updated by email as your order progresses.
My tracking link isn’t working yet.
Tracking links are generated as soon as your order is printed and packed. They usually activate within 1–2 hours, but can take up to 12 hours. If your order was packed in the evening, the link may not update until the next business day when the courier collects and scans the parcel.
My order is taking longer than expected.

PRODUCTS
What are Shevoke frames made from?
Our frames are handcrafted from premium acetate, a plant-based material prized for its clarity, depth of colour, and durability. Acetate is more environmentally conscious than petroleum-based plastics and is a hallmark of quality eyewear.
My frames don’t sit completely flat on a surface. Is this a defect?
Not at all. Our frames are handcrafted from premium acetate, a desirable material intentionally designed to be flexible so optometrists can fit prescription lenses and customise the frame to your face. Because of this natural pliability, slight variations in shape are completely normal. When placed on a flat surface, not all four points may touch perfectly - this is an inherent characteristic of acetate, not a fault, and is often referred to as a “four‑point stance”.
Acetate frames can be gently adjusted by any optical professional for a personalised fit. You’re also welcome to return your frames to us for adjustment, though return shipping is at your expense. Our team can additionally provide instructions if you prefer to adjust them yourself.
Do you offer polarised or blue light lenses?
Yes, we carry a range of polarised, blue light blocking, and transition lens styles. Browse them via the Sunglasses menu on our website.
Can you fit a prescription lens into my Shevoke frames?
Not yet - we’re currently working on offering this service. All Shevoke frames are fully scriptable and can be taken to any optometrist to have your prescription lenses fitted.
What does your warranty cover?
All Shevoke eyewear is backed by consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law for a reasonable period based on the nature and price of the product. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship.
It does not cover:
-
Scratched lenses
-
Damage from misuse, accidents, or improper storage
-
Normal wear and tear
-
Heat damage (e.g. leaving sunglasses in a hot car)
-
Stretching or bending from wearing frames on your head
How do I care for my Shevoke sunglasses?
-
Always store in the magnetic case provided
-
Clean lenses with the included microfibre cloth
-
Avoid leaving them in a hot car or in direct heat
-
Don’t wear them on your head - this stretches the temples over time
-
Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or sunscreen
