Brand-Specific Returns & Inspections
Some of the brands and products we stock are supplied by third-party manufacturers for whom we act as a reseller. Such brands are Meinl Sonic Energy.
All Meinl Sonic Energy products come with a 2 year warranty
For these items:
- Returns and refunds may be subject to inspection and approval by the original manufacturer or supplier.
- In some cases, returned items will be sent to the brand for assessment before a refund or replacement is issued.
- Processing times may be longer depending on the supplier’s inspection process.
- Return costs will be at the consumer's expense
We will communicate clearly with you throughout this process.
Refunds
Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome.
- If approved, your refund will be processed to your original method of payment within [X] business days.

Exchanges
We only replace items if they are defective, damaged, or incorrect. If you need an exchange, please contact us at cheryl@theyogastudio.co.nz
Return Shipping
- Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is faulty or incorrect.
