Città Online Return
18 Normanby Road
Mt Eden
Auckland 1024
New Zealand

You will be responsible for the item until it reaches us, as Città does not accept responsibility for items lost in transit while being returned. We recommend you use a courier that provides tracking and delivery to the door.

Our customer service team will advise you via email once we have received your goods. We will process your exchange or refund within 5 business days on receipt of your parcel.

Returning online orders to a Città retail store

All our retail stores will accept online returns and exchanges (excluding furniture). Please bring along your returns form when returning your order in-store. Furniture returns must be processed through our customer service team. Please contact us at shop@cittadesign.com or (09) 630 6177 to arrange a courier. The cost of return shipping will be your responsibility unless the item was incorrect or faulty.

Our stores are unable to process refunds as online order refunds must be completed at our support office. Our sales staff will notify the online customer service team of your return. Our customer service team will then process your refund the next business day.

Our stores can process exchanges in-store if they have the product in stock. If there is a price difference, you will be able to pay for the difference in-store. If the item you are exchanging is lower in price than your original order, our store will be able to load the price difference onto a gift card for you. Please give the store a call to make sure they have the product you need before visiting.

Change-of-mind return policy

At Città, we want to ensure that you love your purchase. If something in your parcel is not quite right, please send it back and we will exchange, credit, or refund your order according to your preference. You can return or exchange any item purchased through our online store within 14 business days of receipt of your order.

Items must be returned unused and unaltered with all original packaging intact. Original shipping costs will not be refunded unless the item was incorrect or faulty. The cost of return shipping will be your responsibility unless the item was incorrect or faulty. Please keep in mind that our return address is New Zealand-based.

Faulty or incorrect goods return policy

If you have received your parcel and realised a product is damaged or not what you ordered, please notify us immediately upon discovering the fault or error at shop@cittadesign.com. Our customer service team will get back to you with a resolution within 3 business days.

Once we receive the item, we will repair, replace, or refund the item. If the item is faulty or incorrect, we will cover the cost of return shipping and cover all shipping costs incurred in replacing the item.

Sale product return policy

Please choose sale items carefully, as we can’t return or exchange them due to a change of mind.

If you’ve received a sale item that’s faulty or not what you ordered, please read the ‘Faulty or incorrect goods returns’ section above.

Refunds and credit notes

Your refund will be processed back into the same account you used to make the purchase. Alternatively, if you have requested a credit note, a voucher will be issued to the email address you placed the order with. We are not responsible for any fees that might be charged by your bank.

Gift exchanges and returns

If you are purchasing a gift for someone, please let them know we are happy for the receiver to exchange or return the product for a credit note. The receiver should contact our customer service team at shop@cittadesign.com with the order number or the original purchaser’s email address.

Retail store return policy

Our retail store returns policy differs from our online return policy. Products purchased in-store can only be returned to a Città retail store. To learn more about our in-store returns policy, please contact your local store.

Third party returns

If you are wanting to return a product you have purchased from a third party (i.e. stockist, Airpoints, Flybuys, The Market), you will have to contact the relevant store that has processed your order.

How does Click & Collect work?

It's the best of both worlds. Buy online anytime, and pickup your goodies at one of our retail stores.

At checkout, tick the 'Click & Collect' box, and select the store you’d like to collect from.

Our warehouse team will process and dispatch your order to your preferred store. We’ll do our best to get it there in 3-5 business days.

If you want to order and collect an item on the same day, please contact your preferred store directly.

Guest checkout

You do not need an account to purchase from our online store unless you are using a gift card. When checking out of your cart, make sure to select 'Guest Checkout'. For your security, we never store card payment details.

Customer online account

Creating an online account is great when you want to keep your address and order history details for future reference. We recommend that you create an account before adding items to your cart.

To create an account, you will need to verify your email address using a verification code that will be sent to your personal email during the account set-up. Without completing this step, your account will not activate. If you are having difficulties with setting up your account, please email us at shop@cittadesign.com.

Cancelling your online order

Please check your online order carefully before submitting it. Unfortunately, our website cannot add, remove or cancel individual items or an entire order once it has been placed. If you have placed an order in error, please contact us immediately at shop@cittadesign.com and we will be able to help you out.

Updating your delivery address

To update your postal address against a recent order, please email shop@cittadesign.com with your order number and let us know the changes you need to make. We’ll do our best to make these changes for you, depending on the status of your order. Once a package leaves our warehouse, we are unable to change the delivery address or its delivery date.

Payment methods

We accept payments via Mastercard, Visa, and American Express. Please be advised that Maestro and True Rewards are not accepted for online transactions. Afterpay is available for eligible purchases made both online and in-store; however, it cannot be used for the purchase of gift cards. True Rewards may only be redeemed for in-store purchases.

Pre-orders and product notifications

At this stage, we do not have the functionality to process online pre-orders or product notification emails. Please contact your nearest Città store and they will be able to place a pre-order on your behalf. Our stores have the capabilities to send orders directly to customers. Alternatively, contact shop@cittadesign.com  and we will be able to assist.

How does Afterpay work?

1. Simply select Pay by Afterpay as your payment option at checkout.
2. Returning customers only need to confirm the order to complete the purchase.
3. New customers can sign up at checkout and start using Afterpay today.
4. Your order is processed immediately and your payment schedule is established. 
5. Afterpay splits your payments over four equal instalments due every fortnight. Nominate the card you want to use and automatic payments are scheduled for you.

Please note that Afterpay cannot be used to purchase gift cards.

Who can use Afterpay?

Afterpay is available to any individuals that live in Australia or New Zealand and are at least 18 years old. However, before you can use Afterpay you need to provide your full name, residential address, email address and your mobile number for the credit check/verification. You will also need to provide your Australian or NZ debit or credit card details so that the amounts can be deducted for your purchase

Does Afterpay have a spend limit?

Afterpay does not approve 100% of orders, as they are committed to ensuring they support responsible spending.

When determining which orders to approve, their automated system considers a number of different factors. As an example, the longer you have been a customer with Afterpay and the more orders you have successfully repaid, the more likely you will be able to spend more. Their maximum spend limit is $2000.

Is Afterpay available for in store purchases?

Città stores accept Afterpay as a payment option at checkout, however it is currently not available at Città Essentials stores.

Can I use Afterpay to purchase sale items?

Yes, you can, but please be aware, if you wish to return the item, all Sale items are only eligible for store credit. Città will credit you the full amount for your return, but you will need to continue to complete your Afterpay payments for the item directly with Afterpay.

How do I return my order?

Our standard returns policy applies. Once the item has been received by us, we refund the full amount to Afterpay and if applicable all future payments for that order will be cancelled. If you have already made one or more payments, the instalments paid will be refunded to the credit/debit card that you used to place the order. Once notified by us, Afterbuy will process the refund immediately and send you an email to confirm that the refund has been applied. The bank may take 5-7 business days to process this amount.

Are there any other fees?

If you have not made the payment before the due date, and the automatic payment fails, you have until 11pm (AEDT in the summer months and AEST in the winter months) the following day to make payment. After 11pm the following day, if that payment has not been made, you will incur a late payment fee of $10 and a further late fee of $7 if the payment is not made within 7 days (as stated in the Afterpay Terms).

Damage During Transit

The Company is not responsible for damage to Products which occurs in transit.
