  • You must return the item(s) in a Tracked Courier bag within 10 business days and at your own cost
  • If your purchase is a handset, you must not have used more than 10 minutes of airtime or sent and received more than 10MB of data

When we receive the goods they will be assessed and if they’re okay, we'll cancel everything for you and issue you an Online Shop credit for the purchase price (excluding any delivery charges).

Mobile broadband devices

If you decide mobile broadband is not for you due to coverage issues, you can return your device within 14 days of receiving your goods and we'll cancel everything for you.

Home Phone Wireless

Returning an order if the goods are faulty

If your mobile still doesn’t work after rebooting or updating the software here’s what you should do:

If you bought the mobile online:

  • Call our Online Shop on 0800 837 867 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday

If you bought your mobile in a retail store:

  • Take the mobile back to the store you bought it from
  • Make sure you have your receipt with you

The One NZ team will check your device and work with you to fix the problem in line with our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

This may include:

  • Fixing it in store if possible
  • If it’s a phone, helping to save your data before sending it back to the manufacturer to repair. This process could take anywhere from a 10 to 15 working days depending on the problem

You may be entitled to a loan phone from the store if one is available - you may need to pay a bond for this.

Returning faulty goods that are less than 28 days old

If your product is less than 28 days old and you find it has a manufacturing fault, you should be able to return it for repair. Simply take the faulty mobile and proof of purchase to your nearest One NZ retail store.

Alternatively if you’re not near a One NZ store call our Online Shop on 0800 837 867 between 8am and 6pm. We'll discuss the fault with you, and organise the return to us. All goods must be returned together with all original packaging and accessories.

Once we receive the goods, they’ll be assessed and if everything is okay, we'll either send you a replacement or give you an Online Shop credit or refund your credit card for the purchase price.
