Returns Policy

The Merino Store welcomes online store returns. If your item does not fit as you had hoped or you have chosen the wrong size, we will gladly offer an exchange or refund. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act we are not obliged to offer a refund for "Change of Mind", so please choose carefully. Discounted items are final and cannot be returned or exchanged.   
 
Returns may be made via email to The Merino Store website. The order must be returned within 21 days from the original dispatch date on the packing slip. Items must be unworn and in original condition neatly folded with original garment swing tags attached.  Damaged, worn, or altered garments will not be exchanged, credited or refunded and will be returned to the customer.  Shipping costs to return an item/s will be at the customer’s expense unless the item is faulty. In this case, please contact us to arrange shipping.  Shipping and handling charges are not refunded unless the original item was incorrect or faulty.

Cancellation:  Once an order has been placed, you cannot cancel the order as goods are often shipped the same day.  If you wish to receive a refund, you will be refunded the value of the item at the time of purchase less cost of postage.  Any refunds will be made back to the original means of purchase.
