Return & Refund Policy

1. Return Period

You have 30 calendar days from the delivery date of your order to initiate a change-of-mind return request. For items with significant defects or faults, the rights provided under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act apply, which may extend beyond this period.

2. Cost Summary

  • Restocking fees: 0.00
  • Return shipping (defective, damaged, or incorrect item): 0.00 (Meivé covers all costs)
  • Return shipping (change of mind): At the customer's expense

Currency: All amounts in this document are shown in New Zealand Dollars (NZD).

3. Return Conditions

To be eligible for a change-of-mind return, the item must meet the following requirements:

  • The item must be unused, unwashed, and in its original condition.
  • All original tags, labels, and packaging must be intact and undamaged.
  • Proof of purchase (order number or receipt) must be provided.

The following items are not eligible for return:

  • Perishable goods, underwear, or hygiene-sensitive items (e.g., earrings, swimwear, where applicable) for health and safety reasons.
  • Items used, altered, or damaged by the customer.

4. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

If you receive an item that is damaged, defective, or different from what you ordered, Meivé will arrange a replacement or a full refund at no additional cost to you. For items valued under $24.99 NZD or items clearly damaged on delivery, we generally do not require physical return; for other cases, we will arrange free collection through a partner courier.

Action required: Contact us immediately at info@meivé.com within 30 days of delivery. Include your order number, a clear photo of the item and packaging, and a brief description of the issue. We will promptly arrange a free replacement or a full refund.

5. How to Initiate a Return (Change of Mind)

To ensure a smooth return process, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact us first: Do not send items without prior authorization. Email info@meivé.com with your order number and the reason for the return.
  2. Receive instructions: Our customer service team will respond within 1 business day (Mon-Sat) with specific instructions and the correct return address.
  3. Ship the item: Pack it securely and send it to the return address provided. We recommend using a trackable shipping method. Meivé is not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit for change-of-mind returns; this exclusion does not apply to defective, damaged, or incorrect items, for which we arrange and cover the return shipping.

6. Exchanges (Size or Color Replacement)

We offer free exchanges for size or color on the same item, subject to stock availability. To request an exchange:

  • Contact us within 30 days of delivery at info@meivé.com, indicating your order number, the item to be exchanged, and the new size or color desired.
  • Availability check: Our team will confirm the availability of the new item within 1 business day. If the requested item is not available, we will offer you a full refund or a store credit of equal value.
  • Exchange shipping: Once we have received and verified the original item at our warehouse, we will ship the new item within 2 business days, at no additional shipping cost to you.
  • Conditions: The item to be exchanged must meet the same conditions required for returns (unused, unwashed, with original tags and packaging intact).

Exchange shipping costs:

  • Shipping the new item (to the customer): 0.00 (covered by Meivé)
  • Return shipping of the original item: At the customer's expense
  • Exchange for a defective or incorrect item: 0.00 (both shipments covered by Meivé)

Only one free exchange per order is permitted. For additional exchanges on the same item, we recommend proceeding with a return and a new purchase.

7. Returns Address

Important note: Our administrative office address is not applicable / not separately published. Please do not send returns anywhere other than the returns address above. Returns sent to the wrong address cannot be processed or refunded.

8. Refund Processing

Once we have received and verified your returned item at our facility (generally within 3 business days of receipt), we will notify you by email regarding the approval or rejection of the refund. If approved, the refund will be processed within 7 business days and credited to the original payment method.

The refund includes the product price and the original standard shipping costs paid at the time of the order (any "premium" or "express" shipping costs exceeding the standard rate are non-refundable). Return shipping costs for change of mind remain the customer's responsibility.

No restocking fees: We do not charge any restocking fees. You will receive a full refund of the product price. Processing times may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

9. Consumer Rights

Our products are covered by guarantees that cannot be excluded under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act. You are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund in the event of a lack of conformity, as well as compensation for any foreseeable damages. Please note: New Zealand law does not provide a statutory "cooling-off" withdrawal period (as is required under EU consumer law); therefore no separate withdrawal period applies to purchases made through this store.

Withdrawal form: As New Zealand law does not require a statutory withdrawal period, no model withdrawal form applies. If you wish to return an item under our change-of-mind policy (see Section 1), an explicit statement sent to info@meivé.com indicating the order number is sufficient.

Nothing in this Return & Refund Policy limits or excludes your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act.

10. Cancellation Policy

If you wish to cancel your order, you must notify us within 24 hours, after which we reserve the right to refuse cancellation if your order is already being processed. In this case, kindly wait upon the receipt of the order, thank you for your understanding.
