Supply of Product (Giftware & standard stock items)
Ocean Shell generally holds good stock of all products ready for dispatch within 2-5 days of receipt of order. However our products are provided by Mother Nature and due to seasonal harvest or the high labour input needed to manufacture our merchandise, occasionally delays can occur. We will let you know of such a delay and provide you with the estimated time for obtaining the product. Our policy is your payment will not be required until we can guarantee delivery.
Normal Delivery Option
We always make our best endeavours to pack and send your order so it will arrive to you within reasonable time and in good condition. We use reputable carriers who all have their individual delivery methods. At times, delays, loss or damage can occur with deliveries which are outside our control.
Return of Damaged Goods
If you receive a product that is damaged please keep all the packaging and contact us immediately, we will advise our procedures for return and replacement. Photos sent to shell@lumea.co will be helpful. Requests for the return of product will NOT be considered after 30 calendar days following dispatch date.
Any shipping costs incurred in the return of damaged goods and the shipping of replacement goods remain the full responsibility of the shipping company, or companies when freight forwarders are involved.
Defective Goods
Ocean Shell’s product originally comes from Mother Nature. Therefore it is important to remember each individual product is unique in its colour, texture and size. We try very hard to meet the requirements of each of our customers and supply a consistent standard of product. However, if you are not satisfied with what you have received, please contact us on receipt of your order and we will discuss options with you for return and replacement.
Should it be agreed that some or all of the product was defective, shipping for the return of the product and for the replacement product fully remains the client's responsibility.
Payments can be made by:
Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
We do not store any card data. DPS is the payment gateway who will securely manage the card transaction.
All credit cards are charged in $NZ. There may be minor variations depending on exchange rates. Ocean Shell does not accept responsibility for foreign bank charges.
