We wrap every parcel with care, but occasionally an item can pick up a bump on its journey. If that happens, we’ll sort it out as quickly as possible—here’s how you can help us help you:
- Before the driver leaves, jot a brief description of any visible damage on the delivery slip or the handheld device to ensure the carrier has a record. This simple note protects your claim.
- A couple of clear pictures of the packaging and the damaged item speed things up when we talk to the carrier.
- Email us with your order number, photos, and a short description of what’s wrong. Even if you could not mark the delivery note, reporting within 48 hours still gives us time to file a claim on your behalf.
- Once we have your details, we’ll open a claim with the carrier and arrange the fastest possible resolution.

General
Out of Stock Notify Waitlist: For temporarily out-of-stock items, you can add your email address to the notify waitlist to receive an alert as soon as the item is back in stock. The notify waitlist replaces the Add to Cart button on out-of-stock products.
Note: The notify waitlist does not guarantee availability, it just sends a notification out when a product goes from zero stock to some stock.
Pre-orders: To leave nothing to chance and own your incoming stock, you can place a pre-order before it arrives. When the shipping container in question arrives, your items will be unloaded, processed, packed, and shipped out to you.
To place a pre-order send an email to info@bydezignfurniture.co.nz, list the products and quantities required, as well as shipping information including your phone number. We’re happy to let you know when to expect more incoming stock and to process a manual order.
Please unbox and inspect within 7 days of delivery, even if you plan to store the items until you move or your project is finished.
Here’s why:
Carrier deadlines are strict. If anything arrives damaged, we must file a claim with the freight carrier promptly—usually within that same 7‑day window. Waiting longer can void the claim and limit the solutions we can offer you.
Faster fixes for you. Spotting an issue early lets us arrange a replacement, repair, or refund before your renovation timeline is impacted.
Peace of mind. Once you know the pieces are in perfect condition, you can store them confidently until installation day.

We make every effort to represent product colors as accurately as possible in our photos. However, it’s essential to understand that the perception of color can vary due to differences in individual computer monitor/screen capabilities and settings. These variations may cause the colors to appear slightly different to each viewer.
Please be aware that ByDezign cannot assume responsibility for color or design differences that are not the result of factory faults. Any returns for a product due to customer dissatisfaction with a finish, that is not a manufacturer fault will need to comply with our returns policy.
Wood is a natural material, and it carries inherent variations in knots, texture, and grain patterns. These unique characteristics contribute to the distinctive charm of wooden furniture. While we aim to provide accurate product photos, it’s important to embrace and value these natural differences.
Please bear in mind that individual computer monitors may display colors and finishes differently, and each user’s screen settings and calibration can differ. Therefore, we cannot ensure precise color, sheen, or 100% appearance accuracy.
Should you wish to return a product due to dissatisfaction with its finish (assuming it isn’t a factory fault), the return should adhere to our established returns policy.
Returns, Exchanges & Warranty
Our return policy lasts 30 days. To be eligible for a return your items must be:
- Unused in brand new condition
- Have tags still attached
- In original packaging
Sale Items: Only regular priced items are eligible for refunds.
Payment Processing Fees: Fees associated with processing the payment are non-refundable, unfortunately we can’t do anything about this as that is the industry standard for payment processing companies.
Return Shipping: We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service as we cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
Regrettably, due to the high cost of domestic freight in New Zealand, we are unable to provide free return shipping for change of mind returns. This is the only way we are able to offer our free delivery promotion in the first place. We genuinely wish this could be different, but please know that we have to strike a balance between the best possible service while managing operational costs to ensure our prices remain competitive. Thank you for your understanding.
