Terms & Conditions

Our policies on refunds, returns, delivery, and your rights under New Zealand consumer law.

Last updated: April 2025  ·  Applies to City Green Limited, 44 Parumoana Street, Elsdon, Porirua 5022

1. Refunds & Returns Policy

Your legal rights come first. Nothing in this policy limits or removes your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) or the Fair Trading Act 1986. Where our store policy is more restrictive than the law, the law takes precedence.

If you receive a product that is faulty, damaged, or not of acceptable quality at the time of supply, please contact us as soon as possible.

Due to the perishable nature of fresh produce, we require customers to notify us of any quality concerns within 24 hours of receiving their order so we can properly assess the issue.

We may not be able to investigate or resolve claims raised outside this timeframe where it is no longer reasonable to determine the condition of the product at the time of supply.

Where a valid claim exists under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, we will offer a remedy which may include replacement, refund, or store credit, depending on the circumstances.

What we may ask for

  • A description of the issue
  • A photo of the affected product
  • Your receipt or order confirmation number

2. Packaged Goods

This covers products such as sauces, drinks, Asian groceries, juices, and other packaged or sealed items.

Faulty or damaged packaged goods

If a packaged good is faulty, damaged, or not fit for purpose, you are entitled to a refund or replacement under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

Each case is assessed individually. We may ask for the item to be returned to store for inspection, or for a photo if return is impractical.

What is not covered

  • Damage caused by incorrect storage after purchase
  • Products past their best-before date at the time of purchase that you were made aware of

3. Exchanges

We offer exchanges in the following situations:

  • The item you received is faulty or damaged
  • We delivered the wrong item
  • A product is out of stock and you'd prefer an alternative

Exchanges are subject to stock availability. A valid receipt or order confirmation is required for all exchanges.

4. How to Make a Claim

In store

You're welcome to bring the item to our store at 44 Parumoana Street, Elsdon, Porirua during opening hours. Please bring your receipt or proof of purchase.

Return costs

Where a return or collection is required due to a faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied item, City Green will cover any associated return shipping or collection costs.

5. Delivery Policy

  • Responsibility for storage and handling passes to the customer
  • We are not responsible for deterioration due to incorrect storage after delivery

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, you must notify us within 24 hours of delivery.

6. One Day Specials (ODS)

City Green occasionally runs One Day Specials — deeply discounted products available for a single day only.

In-store only

One Day Specials are available in-store only. They are not available for online orders due to limited stock quantities and the fast-moving nature of these deals.
