Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING


How much is shipping?

Shipping is free nationwide in New Zealand with our standard courier service provider. For international customers, international shipping will be calculated at checkout depending on weight and location.

 

How long will my order take to ship?

We make every effort to fulfil orders as quickly as possible, but please allow 2-5 business days as standard delivery, and 5-7 business days for rural deliveries.

Please also note these are estimates only as we cannot guarantee exact delivery windows. Bronwyn Footwear is not responsible for any carrier delays, incorrect deliveries or damage or lost items in transit.

 

Where do you ship from?

We personally pack and ship all our orders from our studio in Auckland, New Zealand.

 

How do I check the status of my order?

When your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification from us which will include a tracking number you can use to check its status. Please allow 48 hours for the tracking information to become available. If you haven’t received your order within 7 days of receiving your shipping confirmation email, please contact us at hello@bronwynfootwear.com with your name and order number, and we will look into it for you. 

 

I want something urgently - can you help?

Please send us an email at hello@bronwynfootwear.com and we will review this on a case by case basis. We will do our best to provide a same day courier delivery, if we receive your email before 11am. This will be at an additional cost charged to you. This is currently available for Central Auckland only.

 

Do you ship internationally?

Currently we can ship your order to most parts of the world subject to shipping and import / export restrictions. We unfortunately cannot ship to the USA and Canada at this stage. The cost of your shipping and the estimated time frame will be calculated at checkout. Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes (including VAT), which are incurred once a shipment reaches your destination country. Bronwyn Footwear is not responsible for these charges if they are applied and are your responsibility as the customer and receiver of goods.

 

Do you deliver to P.O Boxes

Unfortunately we cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes.

 

My order should have been delivered by now and it hasn’t?

If the courier driver came to your house and you were not home, they may have taken your parcel back to their depot and have left a card to call. Please note, Bronwyn Footwear is not responsible for any goods that are lost / damaged during transit. 

 

Shipping cut offs for Christmas 2023?

Please place orders no later than 9pm on Thursday the 15th of December 2023 to allow ample time for deliveries. International orders please place no later than the 8th of December 2023 to ensure time for deliveries to arrive before Christmas. We cannot guarantee that orders placed after these dates will arrive on time.

NOTE: We will not be dispatching any orders during the Christmas period our studio is closed (25th December 2023 - 5th January 2023). We will dispatch immediately upon reopening.

 

RETURNS

 

At Bronwyn, our passion is creating premium leather footwear that can be worn for seasons to come. We strive to use the best materials, leathers and refined details in all our pieces, and carefully control the pick and packing process to ensure our goods arrive at your door in a beautiful condition. We acknowledge however, that this isn’t always the case and will do our best to remedy this for you. 

What if my shoes don’t fit?

We would be happy to exchange a pair of shoes for the correct fit, provided they are not damaged or worn before they are returned. If you are trying shoes on for the first time at home, we recommend you try them on carpet to avoid damaging the shoes, as they cannot be exchanged or returned once damaged or worn in any way. 

What if my item is damaged / faulty?

Sometimes, unexpected issues can happen resulting in faulty goods being delivered. We check every pair carefully before we send them and make every effort to ensure this doesn’t happen, however we’re human and mistakes can happen. If your shoes do arrive faulty, please contact the customer service team immediately at hello@bronwynfootwear.com, and we will be happy to assist in arranging a repair at our expense, replacement or a full refund in line with the Consumer Guarantees Act. 

 

I purchased my shoes through a retailer / stockist, how do I return them?

If you purchased your shoes through a retailer, and not directly through the website, you will need to goto the store you purchased them from in order to arrange an exchange or return or replacement. 

 

Manufacturing faults

As our shoes are predominantly hand-made, manufacturing faults, though rare, can occur. Please note, any manufacturing fault must be returned within 3 months of purchase, or it will not be covered under warranty. We will thoroughly investigate and work with our repair partners to fix the issue, however if it cannot be repaired a replacement or refund will be offered. As part of this process, we do require the shoes back first (or photos of the issue) to inspect prior to providing a refund / replacement to see if they can be repaired safely and to a high standard.
