General Return Policy

This return policy applies to all items purchased from Prochef.

Before returning any items, please contact us at info@prochef.co.nz within seven days of receipt of the items. You need a genuine reason why you want to return your purchase. We reserve the right to charge a 15% re-stocking fee!

Products must be returned in the original packaging (un-damaged), unused and in perfect condition. If knives show any sign of use, sharpening, honing, etc they will not be accepted for return or exchange. If the original packaging is not in a re-saleable condition the item will not be accepted for return or exchange.

Handmade Japanese knives are unique items and pictures on the website can differ slightly from the actual product so under normal circumstances we don’t exchange or refund knives for minor solely optical reasons.

All items returned are done at the buyer’s expense. The items must be properly packed to prevent damage. Please notify us of the tracking number so we can follow the progress of the parcel.

Sharpening stones. We take the best possible care and pack the stones in several layers of bubble wrap. If you order a stone please check the condition of the stone at delivery so in case there is any transport damage we can make a claim to Courierpost.

Please note that we do not replace or refund knives if they have chips in the blade, a broken tip or signs of tarnishing or rust. In most cases that can be fixed with a water stone. If it happened to your knife you can contact us with a picture of the knife and we can tell you what can be done and the costs involved.

Placing an order indicates your acceptance of our return policy.
