Faulty Goods & Repairs

The items you purchase from Baby Bunting come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act (NZ). If there is a suspected problem or fault with an item that you have purchased, please visit your local store with your proof of purchase for assessment. If you're unable to visit a store, you can arrange an online return for assessment.

The remedy available to you depends on the nature of the problem (i.e. whether the problem or fault is of “substantial character”). If the problem or fault is of substantial character, you are entitled to choose between a replacement or refund or keep the faulty product but get compensation for the difference in value compared with one in good condition. You may also be entitled to compensation for any additional loss or damage from the failure to meet the consumer guarantees. A problem or fault is of substantial character when:

  • a reasonable person would not have bought the item if they had known about the fault, taking into account the nature of the fault, price paid and other information that might indicate expected durability of the item;
  • the item is significantly different to its description, sample, or demonstration model;
  • the item is unfit for its normal purpose and can't easily be put right within a reasonable time, for example, washable wallpaper that bubbles after being wiped clean;
  • it doesn’t achieve a particular result that you told us you wanted, and can’t be easily fixed within a reasonable period of time; or
  • it is unsafe, for example, a bicycle with faulty brakes.

If there is no major failure, you are entitled to have the items repaired or replaced within a reasonable time where:

  • If you live in New Zealand, the goods fail to meet any guarantees under the New Zealand Consumer Law; or
  • If it is not repaired in a reasonable time, you can choose a refund or replacement.

It is sometimes difficult to assess what the fault is with an item. That is why we may send the item to the brand or manufacturer for further assessment. If the item is found not to be faulty or has been damaged due to inappropriate use, Baby Bunting has the right to refuse to provide a refund, repair or exchange.

Note: Refunds can only be processed to the original payment method. If the original card is expired or cancelled, we’ll attempt a refund to that card first; if unsuccessful, an alternative method may be used. Purchases made with a Baby Bunting Gift Card will be refunded to a Digital or store Gift Card. BBfamily rewards will not be reissued unless the return is faulty or a product recall.
