Return and Credit Policy
discountoffice.co.nz doesn’t have a retail outlet which helps us reduce our overhead costs. We pass our savings to consumers by offering discounted prices.
For this reason we urge Buyers to carefully select the product as returning will be possible where wrong item/s or faulty item/s is/are supplied by Seller as per Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act.
Where wrong item/s is/are supplied by the Seller, collection and replacement will be arranged by the Seller.
If it’s a faulty product, the Buyer must inform the Seller of the defects within 5 days of receiving the delivery. An Authorisation number will be given which must be written on the address label. Seller will provide address to return to.
All authorised returns should be in original pack, must have all packing material, blank warranty cards, manuals and accessories. No address, address labels or courier tickets to be on the original pack.
Faulty products will be referred to manufacturers or their representatives for assessment and cause of the fault. If they are repairable, that will be done. If they are not repairable, those items will be replaced.
Where there is user fault, we will inform Buyer of the manufacturers or their representative’s assessment.
For returns, please send email to shop@discountoffice.co.nz.
While the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act provide the basis for our returns policy, in certain cases we will go above and beyond the expectation of these two statutory laws. We will do our best to accept selected item/s. A 20% re-stocking fee plus the cost of out-bound delivery may apply.
Buyer will have to request for Return Authorisation prior to such return. Return shipping will be buyer’s responsibility.
