Delivery

Where is my order?
All goods are dispatched from our distribution centre in New Zealand and are delivered by track and trace courier. At the time of collection from our despatch centre you should receive an email with your track and trace link. The email will also include instructions on who to contact if you are not happy with your delivery.

How can I change my delivery address?
Once an order has been placed, providing it has not been picked ready for dispatch, you can contact us to arrange a new delivery address. Due to the small window of opportunity to change a delivery address on an order already placed, we would advise that you call us during office hours rather than email to ensure your request is dealt with urgently. We are unable to guarantee any address change requests will be carried through successfully and we advise you to take extra care when selecting your delivery address.

Where can you deliver orders?
We can only send orders to addresses within New Zealand. We are unable to ship to international addresses but we may have a website in your country. If you need to locate a different country website please click here.

Price Reviews

Which product ranges are affected by the price increases?
Many products across The Body Shop range will be affected, the majority across our core ranges in Bath & Body and Skincare. We have however held our prices on many other items.

Why are you increasing prices?
We do appreciate that customers are facing tough times but unfortunately, like many businesses, we are facing unprecedented increases in the cost of our raw materials and packaging, as well as rising energy and transportation bills. Our products are becoming more expensive to produce, so unfortunately, we need reflect this in our pricing.

How do you reconcile these increases with your stance as an ethical business?
We believe that our products still represent great value for money, and we will never compromise on our commitment to pay a fair price for ingredients and support our CFT partners around the world. As a B Corporation our goal is to balance our triple bottom line: people, planet and profit.

Why do you have different prices in NZ compared to AU?
We price our products in accordance to local market conditions, and local costs. Unfortunately some costs, including freight, are higher in New Zealand, our prices need to reflect this difference. Once again, this allows us to balance our triple bottom line: people, planet and profit.

Will there be another price increase?
We routinely review our pricing and consider market factors to ensure we never compromise on our commitment to pay a fair price for ingredients and support our CFT partners around the world. As a B Corporation our goal is to balance our triple bottom line: people, planet and profit.

Will the cost of shipping go up when I shop online?
For now, our current shipping rates will remain the same. These may be reviewed in the future.



Returns & Exchanges

What is your Online Return Policy?

What is happening to The Body Shop?
The Body Shop has a new owner, Natura - one of Brazil’s best known natural beauty brands.

Who is Natura? Natura was founded in 1969 in Brazil with an ethical vision very similar to The Body Shop. We share the same DNA.

Today Natura have 7000 staff mostly based in Latin America and a further 1.9 million direct sales consultants; they also own Australian beauty brand Aesop

Natura are true leaders in sustainability, with a strong commitment to protecting the environment, working directly with local communities to source natural ingredients – just like The Body Shop. We are excited about what the future brings – together with Natura we are on a mission to become the world’s leading experts on sustainability and beauty.

Is Natura cruelty-free?
Natura is cruelty-free. They do not allow testing on animals on any of its products or ingredients. Like us, they advocate the end of this cruel practice in the cosmetics industry.
