Returns and exchanges

We do not accept returns if goods become unsuitable due to the receiver not being available, or if an incorrect delivery address was provided, or if you simply change your mind. Please choose carefully. 

Instructions

Please contact us first. This is so we know to expect it, and also because there may be a simply fix or advice we can help you with. Return the invoice that is included with your shipment (you may want to make a copy for your records). If you cannot find the invoice, please email shop@hempstore.co.nz

Ensure any clothing/shoes/etc are unused, in original condition and still have their tags and packaging intact. Ensure any smoking or vaping equipment has been cleaned thoroughly. 

We strongly recommend that you use a "signature required" courier and track your return as we cannot be responsible for any lost returns. Freight charges for returning items to us are the customer's responsibility and are non-refundable.

Additional instructions for Lithium-Ion batteries and electronics (eg Vapes, Scales)

Shipping services including NZ Post and all New Zealand courier services have restrictions on shipping batteries: 

• The device must be switched off and packaged so that it can’t move around or be accidentally activated during transport. 
• The device with battery must be in strong external packaging to withstand a 1.2m drop.
• Damaged batteries of any kind are prohibited. 
• Batteries sent by themselves are prohibited.
• If the device/equipment is being returned for repair, the battery must be removed and wrapped separately within the parcel if possible.
• If the device/equipment is brand new and in the original packaging, send it as it was packed by the Manufacturer. 
• If the device/equipment is used, leave the battery inside the device/equipment and ensure that it cannot be switched on
