Refund policy

Returns

We carefully examine each product before it is sent to you and the order double checked by our staff. As a large percentage of our goods are handmade please note that some minor imperfections and variations are to be expected.

Please choose your products carefully as we do not refund products unless the item is faulty, but we are happy to exchange a product for another item of your choice.

Our returns and exchange policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we cannot offer you a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, cosmetics, books cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids such as hand sanitiser.

Additional non-returnable items:
- Gift cards
- Downloadable software products
- Some health and personal care items

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.

Please be aware that under NZ Law we are not required to offer a refund if you change your mind.  So please choose carefully.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable)
- Book with obvious signs of use
- CD, DVD, VHS tape, software, video game, that has been opened
- Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error
