Shipping policy


Our current processing time is 5-10 business days.

All orders are shipped from our home office in West Auckland, New Zealand. Shipping is calculated by region, weight and size by New Zealand Post.

If your delivery address is classified as rural by NZ Post, an additional rural delivery surcharge may apply.Our system automatically checks delivery addresses for rural classification. If a rural address is identified and standard shipping has been selected at checkout, an invoice for the additional shipping charge will be sent to you.

As a small business, we already absorb a portion of shipping costs and unfortunately cannot cover additional rural delivery charges. Any outstanding rural shipping fees must be paid before your order can be processed.

To avoid rural delivery surcharges, you may choose to have your order delivered to a non-rural address, such as your workplace or a friend or family member's address.

We take no responsibility once your order leaves our studio. If your order is lost in transit, contact the courier and make a claim.

If you choose to place an order without tracked shipping, we are not responsible for lost, delayed, or undelivered packages once they have been dispatched. Without tracking, we cannot provide updates or assist in locating your parcel after shipment. By selecting this shipping option, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

If your order arrives broken or damaged, contact us at hello@faithandjoy.co with a photo.

All faith&joy orders are sent without signature required and all risk in the parcel will remain with you upon delivery and faith&joy will not offer a replacement or refund for any loss or damage. Orders shipped to P.O. Boxes are at the buyer’s risk. faith&joy is not responsible for lost or undelivered packages sent to P.O. Box addresses. We recommend using a physical address for a more secure delivery.

PICKUP ORDERS

Pickup orders are available from our home studio in Ranui, West Auckland. The exact address will be provided once your order is ready for collection. Orders will be placed in a designated contactless pickup spot that is security monitored for your convenience and safety.

Please note that pickup orders aren't optimized to be sent by a courier. We take no responsibility for any breakages being sent to family/friends etc via courier from a pickup order. If you would like us to package it for a courier, please let us know in the notes section during checkout.

For international orders paid in New Zealand dollars, refunds are issued based on the exchange rate effective at the time of the refund request. This means that if there has been a change in the exchange rate, the refunded amount in the customer's local currency may be higher or lower than what was originally paid. faith&joy is not responsible for currency rate changes that occur after the order is placed.

USA Update:

Due to recent tariffs, we are currently unable to ship to the USA. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to resume USA shipping in the future.

International orders may be subject to additional custom fees, duties or taxes that are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. We are unable to refund you if you refuse the package because of customs charges.

Refund Policy

Discount Codes

If a discount code was not applied at checkout, we are unable to issue a refund or adjust the order total after purchase. However, you are welcome to save the code and use it on your next eligible order. 

Discount codes cannot be applied to our Trinket Keychains and Sonny Angel Clothes. These are carefully handmade and priced to reflect their quality and uniqueness.

Damages and issues

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. A photo proof is required for a claim with the courier company and a refund or reship of a broken or defective product.

Order Issues

While I do my best to make sure every order is packed correctly, mistakes can sometimes happen. If an item is accidentally left out, the most likely solution will be a refund for the missing product. In some cases, I may also arrange to reship the item.

Exchanges & Refunds

All sale items are final, therefore we will not refund or cancel your order once it is shipped out. If your order hasn't been shipped out, contact us at hello@faithandjoy.co and we will try to help you out. Read all product descriptions/dimensions before placing an order.

If an order is placed when the store is closed for our annual end of year holiday or any temporarily closure and you require a refund, a refund will only be given via store credit.

If you qualify for a refund, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

 

Order Cancellations


If you would like to cancel your order before it has been shipped, please contact us as soon as possible.

Refunds for cancelled orders will be issued minus any transaction fees. Please note that transaction fees are non-refundable. 

  • For standard payments: 2.7% + $0.30
  • For Afterpay payments: 2% Shopify fee + 5% Afterpay fee + $0.30

These fees are charged to us by our payment providers and are not returned to us when an order is refunded.

Once an order has been packed and prepared for shipping, a 15% cancellation and restocking fee may apply to cancellations requested due to a change of mind. This fee is calculated based on the total order value, excluding shipping, and includes payment processing fees, as well as the time, labour, packaging materials, and administrative costs involved in preparing and subsequently unpacking and restocking your order.

If a shipping label has already been created or purchased, the shipping fee will also be non-refundable to the extent that the shipping cost cannot be recovered or refunded by the shipping provider.

Any applicable fees will be deducted from your refund.
