Shipping & Returns/Refunds Policy

Last updated: [12th of August 2026]

Shipping

We endeavour to ship items to you as quickly and safely as possible. We apologise if we're unable to ship to your location — please contact us if you're unsure whether we deliver to your area.

  • We ship New Zealand-wide using Post Haste. A freight forwarder may be used for larger parcels (e.g. floorstanding speakers, amplifiers, furniture).
  • We do not deliver to PO boxes, or to any address we consider unsuitable for the safe delivery of the goods.
  • Free freight on orders over $499, excluding on-sale/clearance items. Orders under $499, and all on-sale items, incur a standard shipping charge calculated at checkout.
  • Large or heavy items may incur an additional freight surcharge — we'll contact you with the cost before dispatch if this applies.

For specific questions about shipping to your address, please contact us.

Returns & Refunds

Your Rights Under the Consumer Guarantees Act

All products we sell are covered by their full manufacturer's warranty (typically between 1 and 10 years depending on the brand and product), in addition to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA). If a product is faulty, not of acceptable quality, or not fit for purpose, you're entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund. This applies regardless of, and cannot be limited by, any policy below.

Change of Mind

We do not have to give you a refund if you simply change your mind about a purchase. However, as a courtesy:

  • We may consider an exchange or store credit if the goods are unopened and in as-new condition.
  • Alternatively, we may consider a refund less a 20% restocking fee, at our discretion.
  • The following items cannot be returned for change of mind: opened headphones/earphones and other items in direct contact with the body (for hygiene reasons), custom or special-order items, and clearance/final-sale items (unless faulty).
  • Goods returned for change of mind are shipped back to us at your cost and risk. We recommend using a traceable courier (e.g. NZ Post, NZ Couriers, Post Haste) — we can't be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit back to us.
  • We can also arrange collection via our own couriers; the cost of return freight will be deducted from your refund. Contact us for details if you'd like this option.

Faulty Goods

If a product you've purchased is faulty, please let us know within 7 days of discovering the fault, and we will repair or replace it — or, at our discretion, provide a refund — in line with your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

How to Start a Return

Notify us by email before sending anything back, including:

  • Date of purchase
  • Order or invoice number
  • Reason for return
  • Your name and a daytime contact number
Any returned goods must be in new and unused condition, packed in the original manufacturer's packaging with all accessories included, then placed inside a sturdy outer carton for shipping — please don't ship using only the original manufacturer's packaging, as it's rarely designed to survive courier handling on its own.

Damaged, Incorrect or Faulty Orders

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect, or faulty, we will replace it — and in these cases, we will cover the cost of return freight.

Before signing for any delivery

  • If the packaging appears damaged at the time of delivery, tell the freight company immediately and note the damage in writing at the time.
  • If you don't notify the freight company of visible damage at the time of delivery, we may not be able to accept liability.

After delivery

  • You must notify us by email within 7 working days of receiving damaged, incorrect, or faulty goods.
  • If we're not notified within this window, we may not be able to accept liability.
  • Any damaged, incorrect, or faulty goods must be returned to us (unless we've agreed otherwise in writing) before a refund is issued.
