How to return your items

If you return your items via shipping or post:

  • all shipping return charges must be pre-paid. We do not accept C.O.D (cash on delivery) deliveries

How we assess and process returns

All returns are subject to inspection and assessment by our Store team or Quality Assurance team. If our Store team is not able to carry out a proper assessment, your item may be sent to our Head Office for proper assessment by our Quality Assurance team. Returns and refunds will be made only subject to any applicable Consumer Law and Michael Hill’s General Terms and Conditions of Purchase.

Any refund, repair or replacement (if and as applicable) will be made to you within a reasonable amount of time.

We refund you the same way that you initially paid for your purchase except refunds of cash payments may be made by cheque, direct credit or to a debit card in the name of the purchaser. Refunds will only be made to the debit/credit card or finance account used for the original purchase, so please be aware of this if you intend to return an item given to you as a gift.

Extended returns

Subject to the usual terms of the 30-day Change of Mind policy, customers can return eligible items purchased between 24 October 2023 and 24 December 2023 to us until Tuesday 23 January 2024. 

Change of Mind Policy

Our Change of Mind Policy does not apply to:

  • earrings

  • resized rings (whether resized as part of the purchase or after purchase)

  • engraved items

  • special, custom or made to order items.

If for any reason you change your mind about any eligible purchase, we will gladly refund the purchase price, provided:

  • you return the item to us instore within 30 days of purchase (or within 30 days of delivery in the case of online orders)

  • the item is in As New Condition and accompanied by:

  • proof of purchase

  • original packaging

  • all paperwork (such as diamond certificates or watch instruction booklets).

'As New Condition' means that the item must not have been worn; the item must be in pristine condition with no damage, scratches, or signs of wear. Determination of an item matching the definition of 'As New Condition' is at the sole discretion of Michael Hill.

Our Change of Mind Policy is in addition to, and in no way limits, your legal entitlement and existing rights under New Zealand Consumer Law.
