Harrods

Harrods is the London department store on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, founded by Charles Henry Harrod in 1834 and trading from its current building since 1905. It covers around 1.1 million square feet across more than 330 departments, which makes it the largest department store in Europe, and has been owned by the Qatar Investment Authority since 2010. Harrods sells designer fashion, luxury beauty, fine jewellery and watches, homewares, food hall hampers and gifts, and ships to Australia from harrods.com. Shop through the ShopBack Harrods page to earn Cashback.

Harrods publishes its own loyalty membership for in-store and online customers on harrods.com, so check the membership page there for current tiers and benefits. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Harrods follows the UK retail calendar. The two big markdown periods are the summer sale from late June through July and the winter sale from Boxing Day on 26 December into January, both running online as well as in store. Black Friday on 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on 30 November 2026 bring shorter promotions, and the run-up to Christmas is when the famous hampers and gift sets land. Because the UK seasons are the reverse of Australia's, the summer sale clears northern hemisphere summer stock just as Australian winter starts, so coats and knitwear are bought in the UK winter sale in January for the Australian winter in June. Check the ShopBack Harrods page for upsized Cashback during those windows.

Harrods says it ships internationally from London, including to Australia, with delivery charges, timing and any duties or import GST shown at checkout on harrods.com. Set the site currency and delivery country before adding to cart so the order value matches what you pay. Cashback is based on the product value; taxes, duties, shipping and delivery charges are not part of the Cashback offer.

David Jones is the Australian department store with local stock, Australian dollar pricing, in-store returns and no import step. Harrods has a far larger designer and luxury beauty range, UK-exclusive brands and hampers, and sale timing that is offset six months from Australia's, but every order is an international shipment with delivery charges and possible duties. For a mainstream designer item available in both, David Jones is the simpler buy. For a brand or line not stocked in Australia, or for a UK winter sale bargain in January, Harrods is the one to check. Both are on ShopBack, so compare the current published Cashback on each merchant page.

Both are London department stores that ship to Australia. Selfridges on Oxford Street skews younger with streetwear and contemporary designers, while Harrods in Knightsbridge leans traditional luxury, fine jewellery and watches, luxury beauty halls and the food hall. Ranges overlap heavily on the big fashion houses, so the deciding factors are usually which store has your size in stock, the landed cost after shipping and duties, and which one is running a sale that week. Harrods is on ShopBack Australia, so an order placed after clicking through from the ShopBack Harrods page earns Cashback.

Designer fashion, bags, fine jewellery, most beauty brands and homewares are among the Harrods purchases that earn Cashback. Chanel, Gucci and Louboutin beauty products, gift card purchases, furniture, HFSS food and drink products (the UK category for items high in fat, salt or sugar, which covers many confectionery and snack lines in the food hall) and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned pieces are not part of the Cashback offer. The Harrods page on ShopBack shows which purchases earn Cashback and the live rate.

ShopBack's Harrods terms state that transactions are tracked within 2 days and confirmed within 125 days. The long confirmation window reflects international delivery and Harrods' returns period, since the order is only final once that period has passed. An order placed in a winter sale therefore confirms months later.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. On your phone, open Harrods from the ShopBack app and finish the order there. Cashback is based on the product value, at the rate shown on the ShopBack Harrods merchant page.

Cashback is based on what you keep: if you return or cancel part of an order, the Cashback adjusts to match. Because Harrods Cashback confirms within 125 days, a return made inside Harrods' returns window is reflected before confirmation. International return shipping is at your cost unless Harrods states otherwise, so check sizing carefully before you order.
