Returns & Refunds Policy
This policy is adapted from the Pokémon Center New Zealand standards to ensure the integrity of hobby and collectible goods.
All TCG products and digital products are final sale items. This means we cannot provide returns or refunds on these items except for cases of manufacturing defect.
The Mighty Ape Hobbies Store does offer a "Change of Mind" return policy, which requires all items to be returned within 14 days and be new, unused and in their original sealed packaging with any tags still attached. Any items opened and not sealed, or outside of the 14 day window are ineligible for this "Change of Mind" return option.
If an item is believed to be faulty, it will be inspected under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. Where a failure is major and cannot be remedied, a refund or replacement will be provided.
