If it says delivered but you can't find it, check with neighbours and around your property, then contact us.
Returns & refunds
What is your returns policy?
You have 100 days after receiving your games to request a return. This covers all Kiwi Code® games, including the 4-Pack, the Complete Set and items bought on sale. Items must be unopened, with the plastic still on, and in the original packaging. Gift cards, and 4-Pack orders where an additional discount code was used, can't be returned. See our Refund Policy for full details.
How do I start a return?
Email support@kiwigames.co.nz with your order number and email, then wait 1–3 working days for instructions. Items sent back without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
My item arrived damaged or is wrong - what do I do?
Please inspect your order when it arrives and contact us immediately so we can evaluate the issue and make it right. See our Refund Policy.
Can I exchange an item?
We don't offer direct exchanges. The fastest way is to return the item you have and, once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
When will I get my refund?
Once your return is received and inspected, we'll let you know if the refund is approved. If approved, you'll be refunded on your original payment method within 10 working days (your bank or card provider may take extra time to post it). If more than 15 working days have passed since approval, please email support@kiwigames.co.nz.
How do I use my free 100 days returns?
It's very easy. No questions asked. We will refund you all your money as long as the game comes back to our Auckland warehouse sealed (not opened). Shipping to you is on us. If you'd like to return your games, the return shipping cost to our warehouse is paid by you.
Please email support@kiwigames.co.nz with your Order Number. If your return is accepted, we'll send you instructions on how to send your return. Return address:
