Warranties

All products manufactured by us are warranted for 30 days to be of merchantable quality and fit for use (refer to our “Return Policy of Goods Purchased”). Please inspect your goods as soon as they are delivered to ensure you are satisfied they are fit for purpose. Woodware, by its nature can swell and shrink and move over time when exposed to the elements, and some measure of latitude needs to be given by the customer purchasing such goods. However, there may be times that unmerchantable quality goods slip through our quality control checks, and of course we will consider all the circumstances associated with the customer’s concerns, as long as the terms of the “Return Policy of Goods Purchased” are complied with.

Goods manufactured by others that we on-sell will have manufacturers’ warranties attached as required by the Consumers Guarantees Act. If the customer believes they have a fault which may be rectified by a manufacturer’s warranty, please contact our customer service team as requested by our “Return Policy of Goods Purchased”.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be accurate.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

Manufacture Quality Control Procedures

Ceracell manufactures most of the woodware, and beeswax that we sell. Our plastic-ware and most metal products are made by contractors using Ceracell owned dies and tooling.

In our factory we have a system of management which directs staff activities using “production jobs”. The PJ’s specify what products are to be made and by whom. Each production worker signs off that the PJ is complete and confirms that the quality expectations are met. Each department in the factory has an experienced Lead-hand, who regularly inspects the workers performance and the quality of the production they are making. In this way the overall quality of the production is checked twice.

For products supplied by outside contractors, when a delivery of product is received, the quantities are confirmed and matched against the Purchase Order. When the goods are receipted into the warehouse, the warehouse receiving officer visually inspects the goods for obvious production faults, and sets aside any failed goods to be returned to the manufacturer. A second check of quality is done when the goods are prepared for dispatch when an order is being filled. Any items that fail this second inspection are referred to the warehouse manager who contacts the manufacturer to discuss the level of quality failures to assist in rectifying any serious issues.

Hive Defender Floor - 20% Cash Back Terms and Conditions

All customers are entitled to a 20% cash back or in-store credit on their Hive Defender purchases, only when they return a different plastic floor. The cash back or in-store credit will only be applied to the number of returned plastic floors and not on the total Hive Defender Floors sold. Once full payment has been received by Ceracell Beekeeping Supplies (NZ) Ltd, will the customer be able to receive the 20% cash back or in-store credit.

The amount cash back or credited will be calculated based on the per item price of the Hive Defender Floor originally invoiced. This does not include any other items that may be listed on the same invoice. The 20% will be calculated based on the number of plastic floors returned and not on the total paid balance of each Hive Defender floor sold on the original invoice. Hive Defender products must be paid for in full before any cash back is offered. The Customer must provide proof of purchase in order to receive any form of credit or refund. 

For Trade Account Customer (20th of the month), if you return your old plastic floors before your monthly statement is released, you will be entitled to the calculated 20%, as per the terms stated above, as a credit on your upcoming statement. 

This offer is only available until the 31st March 2023. Any purchases after this date will not be eligible to 20% cash back on their Hive Defender Floor purchase, upon return of old plastic floor.
