RETURNS AND SHIPPING POLICY

NZ Whiplights provide a nationwide delivery service, through contracted delivery company NZ Post.

All deliveries are subject to stock availability. We will attempt to get as accurate information as possible regarding stock availability.  If there is a delay in the stock being available we will contact you and let you know. 

RETURNS
We are not obliged to give you a refund if you simply change your mind about a purchase. We do not offer a change-of-mind policy so please be careful when ordering.  We know you’ll love these products but choose carefully.

We will not always require a receipt as proof of purchase as we typically have your name and contact details.

REPLACEMENT ITEMS (if applicable)
We replace items if they are defective or damaged upon delivery. If the product you have bought is faulty, we will provide a remedy as required by the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act. Please contact us immediately if you believe that the item you have received is defective, damaged or is incorrect.
