Returns after 30 days should only be sent with prior approval from our Customer Service team. Return postage and tracking is the responsibility of the sender. Please send your returns using a tracked or couriered service, as we will not be liable for any lost items. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund. Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at online@vinnieshamilton.co.nz..

Our 30-Day Return Policy

Our number one priority is that you’re happy with your purchase from us. That’s why we offer a 30-day returns policy for peace of mind. If you’ve changed your mind, we accept online order returns within 30 days of receipt of the item for a refund, excluding the original postage cost, provided the item is not in a worse condition than when it was sold, through no fault of transit.

Returns after 30 days should only be sent with prior approval from our Customer Service team.

Partial Refunds

In some cases, we may agree that you keep the item and a partial refund will be offered. Please contact our Customer Service team if you feel that you are entitled to a partial refund.

Please retain your receipt for refund, exchange or credit.

Our Refund & Exchange Policy

We are not required by law to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind, make the wrong decision, misuse the goods or use the goods for other than what they were intended. You can choose between a refund, or credit where goods are faulty, have been wrongly described, are different from a sample shown to you or do not do what they are supposed to do. If your return is deemed to not be in the condition it was when sent out, we will not accept your return and it will be sent back to you.
