1 Online Shopping

1.1 Can I buy products on The Warehouse site? Do you offer online shopping?

Yes - you can buy products on The Warehouse website. We are continually adding products that can be bought online to our website.

The availability of each product is indicated by the button next to it, eg. "Add to Cart", "Out of Stock", "In Store Only". All products that can be bought online have an "Add to Cart" button next to them.

Some products can only be bought online, they cannot be bought in store. These products will have a message underneath the "Add to Cart" button saying "Not Available In Store". All products that can be bought online and in store have "Available in Store" underneath the "Add to Cart" button.

Products with a grey "In Store Only" button can only be bought in store. Call your local store to find out if they have this item available. You can find your local store and their contact details in our Store Finder area.

Not all products available in store, are shown on the website.

1.2 Why aren't all products on the site able to be bought online?

Some products aren't available to be bought online. However, we are continually adding products to our website that can be bought online. If there is a particular product or group of products that you would like to be able to buy online, please contact us to let us know.

1.3 How do I buy products online?

Simply find the product you are looking for by typing it into our search box, or by browsing through the categories on the left hand side of the page. Then just click the "Add to Cart" button to add it to your cart. You can see how many products are in your cart in the yellow section at the top right hand side of the page.

    2 Delivery

    2.1 How much will delivery cost?

    The standard delivery cost is $5.99.

    The delivery cost for your order is displayed in Cart as an Estimated Delivery Cost. This estimated cost changes to a final delivery cost in the Order Summary page, once you have entered the delivery address details for your order. If you have more than one product in your order, you may receive the different products at different times if they are sourced from different locations. There is no extra delivery charge for different items being delivered at different times.

    Some products have a non-standard delivery cost. This typically applies to large products or products with special delivery requirements. The delivery cost for these products will show in the Order Summary page, after you have entered the delivery address.

    2.2 When will I receive my order?

    Each product has an indication of how long it takes to be dispatched in the Status column in the Cart. For orders placed before 11am on week days, going to North Island delivery addresses, we aim for next day delivery. For orders placed after 11am on week days, going to North Island delivery addresses, we aim for delivery within 48 hours. We endeavour to deliver South Island orders within 2-3 days. Orders received on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays will be processed on the following working day and dispatched as quickly as possible.

    If you were registered at the time you placed your order, you can see the status of your order in the Order History area. If your order has been dispatched you will have received an email that contained a tracking number for each product in your order. If you had multiple products in your order you may have received multiple tracking numbers. You can use these tracking numbers to see the delivery status of your products in the Track Order area.

    2.3 Where is my order? Can I track my order?

    If your order has been dispatched you will have received an email that contained a tracking number for each product in your order. If you had multiple products in your order you may have received multiple tracking numbers. You can use these tracking numbers to see the delivery status of your products in the Track Order area. If you were registered and logged in when you placed your order, then you can also check on the status of your order in the Order History area. This will tell you whether your order is being processed, has been dispatched, or is complete.

    2.4 Who delivers my order? How are orders delivered?

    Online orders are delivered using courier, so that they can be tracked. Our delivery partner is Courier Post. We only deliver to residential or business addresses. PO Boxes are not accepted for security reasons.

    2.5 Why have I only received part of my order? Some products are missing from my order, where are the other products I ordered?

    If you have more than one product in your order, you may receive the different products at different times if they are sourced from different locations. There is no extra delivery charge for different items being delivered at different times. Each product in your order has a tracking number against it. You can use this to see what stage your order is at in the Track Order area. If you were registered and logged in when you placed your order, then you can also check on the status of each product in your order in the Order History area.

    2.6 Does The Warehouse ship internationally?

    We do not ship internationally at present. We only ship to addresses within New Zealand.

    2.7 Can I get different products within my order sent to different addresses?

    All other products can only be sent to one address per order. To have different products delivered to different addresses you will need to place separate orders.

    2.8 Can I pick my online order up from my nearest Warehouse store?

    3 Returns

    3.1 Can I return a product I've bought online?

    Yes - in most cases you can return products you have bought online.

    While the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act provide the basis for The Warehouse’s returns policy, we in fact go above and beyond the expectation of these two statutory laws. The Warehouse has a 12 month money-back guarantee with printed proof of purchase. For a product to be returned under our policy, that product must be in a resalable condition unless faulty or otherwise defective. It’s this policy that provides you peace of mind while shopping at The Warehouse.

    Restrictions and exceptions resulting from New Zealand Copyright laws and health and safety issues mean a refund or exchange is only available for the following products if that product is defective:

  • Music CDs
  • DVDs
  • PC Software
  • Gaming Console Software
  • Underwear
  • Earrings
  • If a product is deemed unsatisfactory, we can offer to exchange it for another one (ie. a different colour or size) or another product for the same value.

    Proof of purchase is required in order to get an exchange or a refund.

    There are also some restrictions that apply in relation to mobile phone returns, electronics and jewellery. To see the full Refund Policy please click here.

    3.2 How do I return a product? Can I return products bought online in store?

    Products can be returned to stores. You will need your tax invoice (receipt) available as information on this is needed as proof of purchase. Refunds will be credited against your original method of payment, eg. to the credit card you used to make the purchase. If you would like to return a product but cannot get to a store then please contact us on 0800 RED ONLINE (0800 733 665) Monday - Friday 8.00am - 6:00 pm to arrange this. Make sure you have your order details handy.

    3.3 Will I get a refund for products I return?

    3.5 My product is broken or faulty - what should I do?

    Under the Consumer Guarantees Act you are entitled to have your product repaired, replaced or refunded.

    All products supplied by The Warehouse are vigorously tested to international standards. However, as with any mass produced products, there will always be the probability that a tiny percentage may exhibit a fault, which is why we provide a full one year warranty on all goods.

    Simply contact us on 0800 RED ONLINE (0800 733 665) Monday – Friday 8.30am – 6pm to enquire about returning the product for inspection. Alternatively you can return the product to your nearest Warehouse with proof of purchase.

    3.6 My product has been damaged during delivery - what should I do?

    If you suspect your product has been damaged during delivery please do not throw away the parcel or cover in which the product came as Courier Post will need to inspect it. Please contact us on 0800 RED ONLINE (0800 733 665) Monday – Friday 8.30am – 6pm and we will organise the return of the product for inspection and will endeavour to send you a replacement as soon as possible.

    8.3 How do I make sure The Warehouse emails don't go into my Junk or Spam folder?

    Unsolicited, unwanted advertising email, commonly known as 'spam', has become a big problem. It's reached such proportions that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad. Despite our best efforts we cannot always guarantee that you will receive our communications due to the changing nature of email delivery systems. There is something you can do to keep The Warehouse emails reaching you – whitelist us.

    To ensure that you receive the emails you’ve signed up for from us, you can add our sending domain promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz to a "whitelist" (or list of trusted senders) within your email application or at your ISP. This means that when we send you an email it will automatically come into your inbox and not be flagged as Junk Mail. It also means you’ll see the pictures in our mails without having to do anything.

    Different email applications work in different ways. Guides for whitelisting us for Microsoft Outlook 2003 (PC) and Hotmail are below. Outlook 2003

    It's very easy to add the promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz domain to your safe senders list with Outlook 2003.

      1. Select the message in your inbox and right-click

      2. Choose "Junk Mail" from the drop-down menu

      3. Choose "Add Sender's Domain (@example.com) to Safe Senders List

    Outlook 2003

    By default Microsoft Outlook 2003 also blocks images in HTML emails. You can add the promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz domain to your Safe Sender List to automatically download images by following these steps.

      1. If a new email message appears in the inbox without the images displaying correctly, right-click on the message displayed at the top of the preview pane "Click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of some pictures in this message."

      2. Choose "Add the domain to Safe Senders List" from the drop-down menu that appears.

      3. The email will download all images included within it, and automatically download any images contained within future emails from the promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz domain.

    Hotmail

    The popular free web mail application Hotmail also allows for Junk Mail filtering to help prevent high levels of SPAM reaching its users. To add the promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz domain to your Hotmail account settings follow the instructions below:

      1. Log in from the Hotmail homepage

      2. Click on the Options link to the top right (near the Help link)

      3. Choose Mail from the navigation on the left hand side

      4. Click on Junk Email Protection

      5. Click on the Safe List link

      6. Type the promotions@email.thewarehouse.co.nz domain name in the field and click Add (note that the domain does not require any "www" prefix as this is only used to address websites)

      7. Log out of Hotmail

    Other web mail applications should have similar options to Hotmail. Check your web mail providers help documentation or contact them directly via email asking for assistance.

    For more information on whitelisting or Safe Sender Lists please refer to your email application's help section or contact your ISP about whitelisting domains prior to delivery to your inbox.

    Thank you for your request for support. As you can appreciate, we have many requests for donations and sponsorships for causes and events. To manage this, our policy is to facilitate fundraising rather than to give sponsorship or donations.

    22 China / Ethical Purchasing

    22.1 What is your policy on ethical purchasing?

    For The Warehouse, business sustainability means that along with our financial objectives, we also seek to monitor and improve our social and environmental impacts. The Warehouse first publicly identified factory working conditions as an issue of ethical interest to us and our customers in 2001. We have been progressively increasing our activity since.

    The core of the assessment process is our factory compliance assessment tool. There are approximately 100 checkpoints in the tool and these are answered with information from documents provided by factory management, management and worker interviews and factory and dormitory inspections. The assessment typically takes one day to complete and covers five main compliance sectors: the factory’s policies, actual remuneration and payroll practice, health and safety, environment, and dormitory standards.

    The tool generates an overall compliance rating for the factory and identifies any critical failure points. Critical failure points are mandatory standards which must be achieved within an agreed timeframe. To become or remain an accredited supplier to The Warehouse, the factory must attain an overall score of 60 percent or more, and pass all critical standards.

    Those standards are listed within our annual report, and the list includes standards around minimum pay and maximum working hours.
