Returns

🎄 EXTENDED CHRISTMAS RETURNS HAVE NOW CLOSED 🎄

Please note our extended holiday returns period closed on Sunday January 7th 2024 and applied only to products purchased after Dec 1st 2023.
Our standard returns policy now applies as below.



ONLINE RETURNS

Didn't work out? No worries! Get in touch and send it back :)

Please read our below policies carefully before you purchase. As a small business, we really value your support, however there are some costs that we unfortunately cannot absorb and may be deducted in the event of a refund.

If you are looking to return something, please contact us first at hello@troubleandfox.co.nz with your order number in the subject line.

Returns must be sent back to us within 7 days from the day that the order was received.

Please note our terms are different for items purchased in store, see further below for details.


FULL-PRICED ITEMS

Full-priced items can be returned for an exchange, credit note or refund - provided they are returned in new, unworn condition with original tags/ packaging intact.

For items purchased via Afterpay or Laybuy, a 5% service fee will be deducted if a refund is chosen, due to the non-refundable transaction charges incurred by these third party providers.

Please note we do not refund shipping charges. If you received free shipping initially and should you choose to return your order for a refund we will retain our original shipping costs $5-10 NZ, $25-$50 International.

Some swimwear/ lingerie cannot be returned to hygiene regulations.


SALE/ DISCOUNTED/PROMO CODE ITEMS

Sale items or items purchased using a discount code can be returned for an exchange or credit note, but cannot be returned for a refund. This includes the Welcome 5% sign-up code.

If you received free shipping on your initial order please note a $5-$10 fee will either be deducted from your credit note or collected before we send your exchange to cover freight costs.


EXTRA DISCOUNTS OFF ALREADY REDUCED ITEMS

Occasionally we may run other discounts that include items that are already on sale. If an extra discount has been applied to an already reduced item, this is considered final and cannot be returned for an exchange, credit or refund unless accepted as faulty.


OUTLET ITEMS

Items marked with a red 'Outlet' badge are final sale and cannot be returned for an exchange, credit or refund unless accepted as faulty.


LAYBUY/ AFTERPAY

Items purchased via the Laybuy/ Afterpay apps can be returned for a refund, exchange or online credit. However please note that due to the non-refundable transaction fees incurred by these third-party providers, if you choose a refund we will retain a 5% service fee from the total to cover these charges.

Sale/discounted items purchased via Laybuy/ Afterpay cannot be returned for a refund, but can be returned for exchange or credit note.

Please note we do not refund shipping charges. If you received free shipping initially and should you choose to return your order for a refund we may retain our original shipping costs $5-10 NZ, $25-$50 International.


FAULTY ITEMS

In the event of a fault, please contact us first and we'll guide you through the returns process. Include as much info as you can about the fault - clear photos of the issue as well as a proof of purchase (order number, bank statement etc.)

Generally, our first step is to contact the supplier. Each supplier has their own procedures - they may request the item to be returned to them for assessment, or they may find photos to be sufficient. We will reimburse you for any return shipping costs provided the fault is considered legitimate. If the return is not accepted the shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.

We appreciate your patience while we assist in coming to a resolution as quickly as we can, however it can take some time depending on transit times and replacement stock availability (approximately 7-14 working days).

If the item is deemed to have a genuine manufacturing fault, we will meet requirements under the Consumer Guarantees Act with the right to offer a repair, replacement, or if necessary, a refund.

Please note items that are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty. Generally if the item was purchased over a year ago, it may be considered wear and tear and not classed as a fault.


SHIPPING COSTS

Please note we do not refund any shipping costs, or cover any customer return shipping costs (unless faulty/ or it was our error).

Free shipping and offset shipping rates (eg. reduced rates for bulky or rural orders) are offered on the basis that the customer will keep the goods purchased.
Should you choose to return your order for a refund we may deduct $5-$10 NZ to cover our original shipping costs.

Free shipping is also only available on your initial order, and 1 exchange (if full-priced). Any further exchanges will incur shipping costs.
