What is NZ Muscle's return policy?

We hope you love your new NZ Muscle merch and supplements just as much as we do. However we have a Returns Policy in place if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase.

How to return an item

If you have received your order and something is damaged/faulty/incorrect only, please contact us to submit a returns application for a replacement, credit or refund. You will need to send us a clear image of the issue, the expiry and batch number for the product, your order number and the item affected within 7 working days of receiving your order.

Our customer services team will review your returns application.

Please allow 2-3 working days for a response from our Customer Services rep.

Please do not consume/open/use or throw any items away until we have resolved the matter.

Our policy lasts 7 days after the purchase has been received. If this time-frame has passed since receiving your purchase, unfortunately we cannot offer you a store credit in exchange for your items.

DAMAGED ITEMS

If your item appears to be damaged in transit, we will contact CourierPost and open an investigation.  Please ensure you retain all packaging, as on occasion CourierPost will need to collect the goods for assessment.

FAULTY ITEMS

Where an item is faulty and this was not disclosed at the time of purchase online, in the first instance we will contact the supplier/manufacturer for a replacement.  Please be patient as suppliers need time to investigate.

Examples of faulty items are issues with product integrity; hardening where not disclosed at time of purchase, faulty seals, manufacturing issues, holes in garments etc

We do not offer full refunds or physical exchanges for a product unless it is deemed faulty upon inspection. In some scenarios, we may require the faulty item to be returned to us for further inspection.

NZ Muscle reserves the right not to offer an exchange voucher, refund or replacement where the item fault is a result of misuse or neglect. 

If the item/product has been regularly used, with the fault acknowledged and present, we will consider the item fit for purpose and will not offer a credit, refund or replacement.

Please note - in order for faulty returns to be accepted, items must be returned within 21 days of receiving the original order and in the condition you received it in. 

INCORRECT ITEMS

If you have received an incorrect item, we will organise for it to be returned and replaced free of charge.  Please ensure incorrect items remain unopened and in original sellable condition otherwise we may not be able to accept the return due to health and safety reasons.

Please do not consume/open/use or throw any items away until we have resolved the matter.

NZ Muscle must receive the items for return within 21 days of your order being delivered. Items returned outside this period will not be accepted for health and safety reasons. 

Please see the process for returning incorrect items here.

CHANGE OF MIND RETURNS

If you wish to return an item because you have changed your mind or bought the wrong item only, we will offer an exchange or credit where you contact us within 7 working days of receiving your order and the product is unopened/in it's original condition with tags and seal in place. 

NZ Muscle must receive the items for return within 21 days of your order being delivered. Items returned outside this period will not be accepted for health and safety reasons. 

We are not able to accept returns for change of mind purchases for items that have been out of our care for over 30 days. 

Please note: Dislike of flavour is deemed as change of mind, unless the expiry is out of date we will then investigate. Equipment is based off the condition and must be re-saleable, if not, we will decline 

NZ Muscle will offer an exchange or credit provided that:

You produce either your receipt, order number or other adequate proof of purchase

The item is in re-saleable condition meaning that it is in its original packaging, unworn, unopened, unused and in its original condition

The product is not one where a change of mind return is not available.

If these requirements are not satisfied, NZ Muscle reserves the right not to offer an exchange, or credit.

Please note: All change of mind return costs fall on the customer who is returning the product.

We are not the couriers and cannot be held liable for any costs and damages which are incurred while using their services.

ITEMS MARKED FINAL SALE

Items marked with a Final Sale red label may be defective and not in perfect condition (shortdated, hardened, other disclosed faults). The customer is buying an item in whatever condition is stated online in the product description and accepting the item with all faults stated. We have a no returns and refunds policy for Final Sale items. If there is a fault with the item, outside of what was stated online, please send a photo and description of the fault to us for review.
