Need to return your items? We want you to be completely satisfied with our products and we will gladly accept online returns within 30 days of receipt where the products are in new, unworn with tags attached and in their original packaging.
Auckland store update: We're constantly checking Government updates and directives, so if a town, region or city-wide lockdown impacts your ability to return your item, don't worry! Our 30 day returns policy remains, but we won't count the days that stores and/or post offices are closed.

Cost of returns

In-store returns
You are welcome to return your items to our Auckland store to avoid return postage fees. Please note that the above conditions apply and PayPal orders must be returned online. As PayPal is a heavily encrypted, secure payment method, our store systems are unable to process PayPal refunds.
Refunds
Once you have dropped your parcel off at the Post Office, please allow some time for your item to reach our warehouse. Our top tip is to keep a note of your return tracking number, that way you can track your order and see when it reaches us.
Upon receipt, a returned item will be processed by our returns warehouse within 2- 3 business days.
Once processed, the refund will show in your account within 2-5 business days, depending on your financial institution.
Please allow an additional 1-2 business days for refund processing over sales periods and public holidays.
Faulty items
If you believe you have received a faulty item, please do not submit a general return as our returns warehouse does not process faulty assessments. Please read about our Faulty Assessment process here.
If you believe your online purchase arrived with a manufacturing fault, please contact our Vans Team below. We'll request your order/receipt number and photographs of the tongues, tops, sides, soles and fault.

Purchases made online from overseas distributors, outlets or third-party websites such as eBay cannot be exchanged, replaced or returned by Vans New Zealand; we advise you to contact the place of purchase for any warranty claims.
