Returns

Godfreys will, upon return of a product, offer you a refund, repair or exchange within a reasonable time in accordance with the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Refunds, repairs and exchanges will only be offered if you are able to provide a receipt or other satisfactory proof of purchase and if;

  • A product is damaged or faulty through no fault of your own (provided you were not aware or made aware of the defects prior to purchase) and you can provide evidence of the damage/ fault;
  • A product is not fit for its normal purpose; or
  • Incorrect goods were supplied.

Defective Products

You have rights under New Zealand Law if the product you purchased has a defect. To view these rights in full, visit the NZ Consumer Protection website.

For minor and major defects, you are entitled to a repair, replacement or refund of your purchase. If you agree to a repair of a product with a major defect, you are still entitled to refund or replacement at any time. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. 

Returns for In-Store Purchases

All goods purchased from a Godfreys retail store which qualify for a refund may be exchanged for a refund if you are able to provide satisfactory proof of purchase. Refunds will only be issued if the goods are returned within 10 days of purchase, have not been used and are in their original packaging. 

To obtain a repair, exchange or refund you must return the goods to Godfreys, unless you are entitled to reject the goods and the goods cannot be returned without significant cost to you. Any returning items that are shipped are done so at the owner’s risk and Godfreys will not take responsibility for any items that are lost or damaged due to the negligence or fault of a third party.
