Returns & Refunds
If you wish to return or exchange product you have ordered from us for whatever reason, we’re here to help. You can either return your product in exchange for other product of the same value, or for a refund to the original payment method you used at the time of purchase. In either case, this will be subject to the conditions set out below.
Returns
To initiate a return of product for an exchange or a refund please email us at shipping.nz@cbrands.com with details of your original order, the product you wish to return and the reason for the return.
If there is an issue with the product that you wish to return (e.g., if it is faulty or defective, not as ordered or not of acceptable quality), then we will require you to send us details, together with photographs, of the issue. We may also require you to send us the product. This is so that we can assess whether the issue is one that is covered by the consumer guarantees under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
We will arrange for our courier company to collect all returned product.
We will cover the shipping costs for the returned product where the product you received is faulty or defective, not as ordered or not of acceptable quality. In all other circumstances, including where you have had a ‘change of mind’, we will charge you for the shipping costs for the returned product (and if we have agreed to refund you for the returned product, we will deduct this cost from the refunded amount).
Exchanges
In the event that we are unable to exchange any product you return to us for product of the same vintage, we may substitute the exchanged product with the same product of a different vintage. If we are only able to exchange for a similar product, we will contact you first to see if you would prefer a refund.
Refunds
We will agree to refund you if the product you receive is faulty or defective, not as ordered or not of acceptable quality, subject to the following conditions being met:
- we must receive your refund request within 30 days of the date you purchased the product in question; and
- you must have purchased the product from us; and
- the product must be returned to us in saleable condition (except where the product is faulty, defective or not of acceptable quality).
Unless otherwise agreed, all refunds will be credited back to the credit card that was used to make the initial purchase, at the value of the original purchase (including shipping costs, if applicable).
Please note that there may be a slight delay while we process refunds through our finance and accounts teams.
Cancellations
Your order is placed as soon as you confirm purchase, so please ensure all product and delivery details are correct. For any changes to your order (including where you have had a change of mind) please email us at shipping.nz@cbrands.com and provide us with the details. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
