Refund and Exchange Policy

Change of Mind

Painted Bird does not accept returns, exchanges or refunds for 'change of mind' or should the item does not suit you for any reason.

Painted Bird will not refund for appointments made for Stylist Services or The Aviary, should you 'change your mind' and cancel less than 48 hours before arranged session or should you fail to attend your arranged appointment.

We cannot refund or exchange earrings, hair accessories or face masks for hygiene reasons. We also cannot refund or exchange gift cards.

Faulty or Damaged Items

Faulty Items (Used/Vintage Items)

As outlined within the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act, if you buy second-hand products from an online business or second-hand dealer, you can not expect the same quality as when buying new products.

Remember, all our products are true vintage and may show minor signs of wear. We do our best to describe our items clearly and show any defects or flaws in photos.  Please review each item carefully and ask any questions before purchasing.

Therefore, we do not accept refunds on our vintage or second-hand items.

You can read more about your rights when buying second-hand products from a dealer or business here (opens in a new window).

Faulty Items (New Items)

Painted Bird may accept unworn accessory items if contacted via email within 2 days of despatch (such as hair jewellery or packaged items such as socks) for exchange if they are described as ‘New' in our condition description. The item must not have been worn; the item must be in pristine condition as originally sold in the packaging with no damage, scratches, or signs of wear. Determination of an item matching the definition of “New Condition” is at the sole discretion of Painted Bird upon return receipt (return at your cost) of the item. We do not refund or exchange if you have changed your mind.

Like all our clothing items, and because of the nature of the these delicate items with regard to the health/hygiene implications, we are unable to offer returns on the following accessories:

• Earrings
• Intimate items
• Hats
• Gloves

Other Damage

If a product is damaged in transit, please contact NZ Post here and additionally advise us as soon as possible.
