Order missing? Check the promised date
New Zealand stock dispatches in 2–3 working days; made-to-order items may require 3–7 weeks before dispatch. NZ delivery is NZD8/free over NZD300 with 1–3-working-day transit; Australia NZD38/free over NZD500, typically 2–3 days. Report missing/damaged parcels within 14 days of dispatch; customs seizures and post-delivery losses have exclusions. Other countries have regional rates/free over NZD1000, with taxes extra.
Show the steps
- Compare the order date, dispatch notice and tracking. Ask support for the carrier reference and a specific delivery or resolution update.

Wrong or damaged? Keep the evidence
Photograph the item, label and packaging. Save the original product description and explain the mismatch before using or returning the goods.
Show the steps
- Ask for written instructions and who pays postage. Ordinary change-of-mind rules may differ from the process for faulty or incorrect goods.

Read this before paying return postage
Return/exchange parcels must be postmarked within seven days of delivery, unworn in original packaging after notifying support. Buyers pay return postage unless faulty/incorrect; exchanges may add postage. Made-to-order, customized and sale items are excluded. Warranty sections inconsistently start their six-month/three-month periods at delivery, purchase or dispatch. Wear, damage and third-party alterations are excluded; confirm the applicable warranty clock.
Show the steps
- Keep approval, tracking and delivery evidence. Ask when an accepted return will be inspected and when an approved refund should reach your payment account.

Still unresolved? Check your payment options
Keep receipts, tracking, photographs and messages together. Ask the payment provider on your receipt about its dispute process and deadlines; waiting for support must not make you miss them.
