How To Return Goods For Replacement, Repair Or Refund
Kiwi Possum at Austin Limited prides itself on its high standards of quality control. If your order* is not the colour or
size you ordered, or has an obvious manufacturing flaw, simply notify us within 7 days of its receipt and we will
exchange, repair or refund your purchase.
*Applies only to standard items purchased through the website.
All you have to do is:
• Email Kiwi Possum at Austin Limited immediately to advise us of the problem
• Return it to us at your cost within 30 days of emailing us by the same or faster delivery method by which it was sent
to you. Please ensure the item is covered by insurance as we cannot refund it if lost in transit.
• Ensure the item is in its original condition unworn with the original swing ticket in place. If the item is an apparel
item: you may try on the item for a few minutes but not wear it out to an event. If the item is a hat, please do not try
on with an oily hair product. For these and all other items, please do not smoke near it, use it profusely, nor
accidentally or deliberately damage it. If any of the above abuses of our Returns Policy is found to have occurred,
your right to a replacement or refund may be waived or compromised.

Postal Address:
, New Zealand
When we receive back the goods, we will then send the replacement or repair back to you at our cost or refund your
purchase via the credit card you used to pay for the goods.
NB: Refunds do not apply to custom orders. Custom orders are requests for tailor made garments or apparel items in
special sizes or in special skins - they are exempt from a refund as we have built specifically to your measurements.
Refunds do not apply to sales outside of this official Kiwi Possum at Austin Limited website. Nor do they apply if you
have requested any changes to our normal specifications of a website product eg: if you requested changes to our
standard patterns, fabrics, linings or notions as the item is now classified as a "custom build" and cannot be resold.
Additionally, "Change of mind", "the recipient did not want it", or slight delays in delivery which are beyond our
control ( eg: delays in postal services before Xmas) are also not valid reasons for a refund as we have manufactured
in good faith specifically for you as soon as possible after you placed the order.

Please Note The Following:
• The above dates apply only after we have manufactured or collated your goods. The dates are are to be used
solely as a guideline rather than a definitive statement as we ship internationally and some countries have faster
clearance times than others.
• Tracking does not exist for air posted items. There is tracking on couriered items and you will be given a number.
• Inclement weather, Strikes, Airline delays, Public Holidays, Customs Clearance holdups and other similar
occurrences are out of our control and hence we accept no liability for hold ups due to external factors such as
these.
• Duties, Sales Tax, or Customs Clearance fees, if any, are the sole responsibility of the recipient in their own
country as we do not govern the laws of the countries we send goods to.
• We will not send goods to countries with little or no governmental infrastructure; or to countries where it is known
that imported goods are likely to be seized or held indefinitely until corrupt levies are paid.
*Deliveries to Russia: only Fedex freight is allowed for incoming freight until further notice. Customers will be notified
of freight surcharges in this instance.
* Freight surcharges may be added to some China destinations - this is because postage is unreliable in many areas
- so courier is the best option. Any surcharges will be advised beforehand.
* Other areas with limited infrastructure, conflict or natural disasters may also preclude postage. Again, clients will be
notified if they have to pay courier fees or given a choice to send to a safer area.
