Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory rights
New Zealand consumers have rights under laws such as the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and Fair Trading Act that require goods and services to be of acceptable quality and accurately described.
These laws can apply to digital goods and to purchases where the seller is responsible for the supply, but application can depend on whether the App Store or Google Play acted as the retailer.
How this applies to Paperless Post
- Paperless Post policies do not guarantee a 14-day cooling-off period or automatic refunds for Coins or subscriptions.
- In-app purchases must be handled via Apple or Google; you can request refunds from them and cite New Zealand consumer protections where relevant.
- For physical Party Shop items, Paperless Post accepts returns within 30 days if unused; customers pay return shipping.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Some users report quick, knowledgeable, and helpful support for RSVPs and custom features.
- Support staff have been praised for being kind and offering scheduled help calls in certain cases.
Common complaints
- Users describe “bait and switch” where designs appear free but require payment to send.
- Technical problems have been reported, including invites not sending, RSVP errors, editing limits, and clunky UX.
Documentation checklist
Information to include when contacting support
- Account email address and username
- Subscription or order ID (for Pro, Coins, or Party Shop purchases)
- Dates of purchase and screenshots of receipts or billing statements
Evidence for refund or quality claims
- Screenshots of the issue (failed sends, error messages, misleading pricing)

Common mistakes
Assuming in-app purchases can be handled by Paperless Post
A frequent error is contacting Paperless Post to cancel or refund purchases made through Apple or Google Play.
Such transactions are controlled by the App Store or Play Store; you must use those platforms for cancellations and refunds.
Overlooking Coin costs and premium prompts
Users often expect a design to be free, then are surprised by Coin requirements at send time.
Always check whether a design requires paid Coins before completing the send to avoid unexpected charges.
