Refund & Return Policy

Urban Caps Refund & Return Policy

We maintain strict quality and hygiene standards to help ensure every customer receives a brand-new product. Please review the information below before requesting a return.

30-Day Return Window

For change-of-mind or fit-related returns, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to request a return.

Returns requested after this period may not be accepted for change-of-mind purposes.

Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

Return Eligibility

For a change-of-mind or fit-related return, your item must:

  • Be unused, unworn and unaltered
  • Be in original condition with all tags attached
  • Be returned in its original packaging where reasonably possible
  • Include proof of purchase
  • Meet the hygiene and resale conditions outlined below

Hygiene & Resale Policy

Hats and caps are personal wear items. For hygiene and customer safety reasons, change-of-mind returns are only accepted where the item remains in brand-new, resaleable condition and has only been briefly tried on indoors.

Change-of-mind returns may be declined if the item shows signs of use, including:

  • Sweat marks, stains or odour
  • Creasing or shaping caused by wear
  • Outdoor use
  • Extended wear or handling
  • Damage or alteration
  • Any condition that makes the product unsuitable for resale

All returned items are inspected before a change-of-mind return is approved.

Non-Returnable Change-of-Mind Items

We do not accept change-of-mind returns for:

  • Worn or used items
  • Items that no longer meet the return conditions above
  • Sale or clearance items
  • Gift cards
  • Returns requested outside the 30-day change-of-mind period
These exclusions do not limit any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act where an item is faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied or otherwise does not meet applicable consumer guarantees.

Change of Mind / Fit Issues

Fit and sizing preferences can vary between individuals and different hat styles.

Where we approve a change-of-mind or fit-related return:

  • A 25% restocking fee applies
  • The customer is responsible for return shipping
  • Original shipping charges are non-refundable
  • The item must meet all applicable return conditions above

Change-of-mind returns are provided under our store returns policy and are separate from any rights you may have under New Zealand consumer law.

Return Shipping

For approved change-of-mind returns:

  • Customers are responsible for return shipping costs
  • We do not provide prepaid return labels for change-of-mind returns
  • We recommend using a tracked shipping service
  • Urban Caps is not responsible for returned parcels lost in transit before they are received by us

For faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied items, we will work with you to arrange an appropriate return process and remedy where applicable.

Consumer Guarantees Act

Urban Caps complies with the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

Products supplied to consumers must meet applicable legal guarantees, including being of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and matching their description.

Depending on the nature and seriousness of an issue, the appropriate remedy may include repair, replacement, refund or another remedy available under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

Items may need to be assessed before the appropriate remedy can be confirmed.

This does not cover problems caused by misuse, accidental damage, alteration or normal wear and tear.

Refund Processing

Once an approved refund has been processed:

  • Refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method
  • Our processing time is generally 2–5 business days
  • Your bank or payment provider may require additional time before the funds appear in your account
