Terms & Conditions

IMPULSE  IMPORTS LTD is a New Zealand owned and operated business. We are owned by Kiwis and strive to provide the best service possible for our fellow Kiwis. In order to provide the best service, we have outlined the following terms and services so you can familiarise yourself with how our business operates. 

 

Location

Impulse Imports is located in Chrsitchurch, Canterbury. All of our in-stock items are warehoused, stored and shipped to you from the South Island. We are a small business and strive to give you better service than the big guys.

 

Definitions

Occasionally, you may see certain terms on our site. This section will describe in more detail what we mean when we say: 

 

Some Assembly Required

Item ships with assembly required. For example, a table may require the legs to be attached, or a bench may require reinforcement screws inserted. In this case, all parts necessary to complete the assembly will be included, however additional tools such as Phillips head screw drivers may be needed. The vast majority of products on are site are shipped fully assembled.

 

Rustic

Rustic means an item that is intentionally built to appear aged, weathered or antique. This may include the process of distressing the paint. Items described as rustic may include scratches, scuffs and scrapes, intentional wear and tear, holes, cracks and other features in order to add character. In cases where these features define the piece, we have done our best to include photographs.

     

    Distressed

    Distressed paint is a process that gives a weathered appearance.

     

    Factory 2nd

    A factory 2nd is an item that arrived to us with unintentional cosmetic wear/tear from the manufacture or shipping process. The item is generally fully functional unless otherwise noted. As a result, we often sell these items well below our suggested retail cost. Items described as 2nds may have cracks, scuffs and scratches that are deep, stains or other defects. If an item interests you and it has this description, please do not hesitate to ask for further information and pictures. 

       

      Shop Demo / Floor Model

      Since many of our items are one-of-a-kind pieces, they are often displayed on the shop floor. This can expose them to unintentional wear and tear. In instances where this wear and tear is greater than normal, we will note it with Floor Model in the description. In general, if an item is indicated as a floor model it may have cosmetic scratches, stains and scuffs.

We try our best to include an accurate freight estimate at the time of purchase, however please do keep in mind that other factors can affect the cost of freight including but not limited to: many stairs on delivery premises, rural address, inability to assist with offload and more. In cases where the additional cost of freight is too high for us to pay, we will advise the customer, who will pay ONLY the different between the initial quoted freight and what we have paid to the freight company.

They will call you to arrange a delivery time the day before the item arrives.
