Return Conditions
To be eligible for a return:
- Items must be returned in their original condition, unused and unworn.
- Items must be returned in their original packaging (case, dustbag and lens cloth).
- Items returned damaged, worn or showing signs of use will not be eligible for a refund.
- Products with personalised engraving are non-returnable, unless they are faulty or do not meet applicable consumer guarantees.
Return Shipping
Returns within New Zealand are free of charge. Please contact us to request a prepaid return shipping label before sending your item back.
Christmas & Holiday Returns
To make Christmas shopping easier, we've extended our returns period for the festive season.
All purchases made between 21 November and 24 December are eligible for a return, exchange or refund until 15 January of the following year. This gives gift recipients plenty of time to receive their Vilo gift and try it on before deciding.
All standard New Zealand return conditions apply, including the requirement that items are returned unused, unworn and in their original packaging.
New Zealand returns remain free of charge. Please contact us through our Contact Page to arrange your return.
