  • Q1. What warranty applies to products sold by The BestDeals?

    Best Deals provides a voluntary warranty and applies the Conditions and Warranties required by law.

    Statutory Conditions and Warranties
    For all products sold, TheBestDeals provides conditions and warranties contained in the consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ CGA).

    Where the 30 Day Change-of-Mind Period has passed and the conditions state that unless the product has defects which The Best Deals has specifically brought to your attention before the sale, the product is of merchantable quality—that is,

    •the product is free from manufacturing defects and faults and reaches a basic level of quality given the price of the product and any description that is provided with the product;
    •the product is fit for the purpose or job for which it is normally used or to which The Best Deals has to agreed before the sale.
    •the product matches any description provided on our website or on labelling or packaging; and you receive a clear title to the product

    The warranties stipulate that the product is clear of finance or encumbrances; and you will have free title to the product.

    Customers should be aware that all depictions contained on the website are for illustration purposes only. Due to differences in picture inks, computer monitors and printer ink, colours of the actual product may vary slightly from those viewed.

    If the product does not satisfy any of the mentioned conditions or warranties then, provided the claim is made within a reasonable period of time after the sale, you may be entitled, at your discretion, to a refund, replacement of the product or to have it repaired. A reasonable period is contingent on the circumstances of each sale including but not limited to the nature, quality and price of the product.

    Any refund agreed to may be less than the purchase price depending on any use or consumption of the product which has occurred or any contribution that use by you has made to the cause of the claim.

    Customer Service will review each claim on its merits on a case by case basis and, if required, will negotiate a solution that is acceptable to both The Best Deals and you including any costs involved.

    Exceptions
    The Best Deals does not provide a refund, credit or exchange if:
    •the product has been damaged by unintended use by you,
    • if the defect is drawn to your attention before you purchased the product, for example, when products are clearly labelled as seconds or faulty
    •the 30 Day Change-of-Mind period has elapsed and the product matches the description provided on our website and is free from manufacturing defects or faults.

    Voluntary Warranty Policy
    All products sold by The Best Deals have a "dead on arrival" (DOA) warranty. This means that if a product is damaged during delivery and a claim is made within 14 days from the date of dispatch, The Best Deals will replace or repair the product at our discretion at no cost to you. If The Best Deals has no remaining stock of the particular item and it cannot be repaired The Best Deals will replace it with a similar product or offer you a full refund.

    If the damage is discovered outside of the 14 day period please contact Customer Service who will determine whether circumstances are such that you may still proceed with a claim. You can take advantage of this offer for up to three months after the sale.

    This warranty does not apply to damaged packaging only and does not detract from your statutory rights.

    Manufacturers Voluntary Warranty
    Many of the products supplied by The Best Deals are covered by a Manufacturers Voluntary warranty. The terms and conditions of such warranties are outside of our control and it is your choice whether to use such warranties. Where possible the time of such warranty will be displayed on our website.

    A manufacturers’ warranty does not detract from your statutory rights.
