Returns & Refunds

We want you to be happy with your purchase. If something is not right, this page explains your options and how to get in touch.

Your Consumer Rights

Your rights as a consumer in New Zealand are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) and the Fair Trading Act 1986. These rights apply regardless of any store policy — nothing in this page limits or replaces those rights.

Under the CGA, products must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match their description. If a product fails to meet these guarantees, you are entitled to a remedy — which may include repair, replacement, or refund depending on the nature of the failure.

Eligible Returns

We accept returns in the following circumstances:

  • The item arrived damaged or defective (contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos)
  • The item is materially different from the description on our website
  • The item does not meet a consumer guarantee under the CGA
  • You received the wrong item

Non-Eligible Returns

The following are generally not eligible for return or refund:

  • Change of mind — please ensure you check dimensions, colours, and materials carefully before ordering
  • Damage caused by misuse, improper assembly, or failure to follow care instructions
  • Items that have been assembled and show signs of use beyond initial inspection
  • Items ordered to custom or special specifications
  • Normal wear and tear after use

Note: change-of-mind exclusions do not override your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

How to Initiate a Return

  1. 1

    Contact us first

    Before returning anything, get in touch by email or phone. Please do not send items back without prior authorisation — unauthorised returns may not be accepted.

  2. 2

    Provide your details

    Have your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs of the item (and packaging if damaged in transit) ready.

  3. 3

    We will advise next steps

    Once we have reviewed your case, we will contact you with return instructions, an authorisation number, and the return address.

  4. 4

    Send the item back

    Return the item in its original packaging where possible. Customers are responsible for return freight costs unless the return is due to a fault or error on our part.

  5. 5

    Refund or replacement

    Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will process your refund or send a replacement within 5–10 business days.

Refund Details

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method. The time for the refund to appear in your account depends on your bank or card provider — typically 3–10 business days after we initiate the refund.

Original delivery charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error or a product fault.

If you have not received your refund after 10 business days, please check with your bank first. If the issue persists, contact us and we will investigate.
