If the search doesn't help, we may not stock that product, or it may be unavailable. We're here to help, so send us an email if you have a query and we'll come back to you with answers. We'll do our best to source what you're after.

Cancelling An Order
If you've made an error in an order you've just placed, please contact us immediately. We'll do our absolute best to try and stop the order in our system, but because we try to fulfil your orders as fast as we possibly can, it may have already been processed.

How We Deliver Your Purchase
To ensure we are able to deliver your purchase, we use ‘track and trace’ couriers. They use a scanning system to follow the progress of your delivery, and require a signature on receipt of the package. If a problem arises, this means you are able to follow up directly with the courier company involved, and proof of delivery and/or the status of the package can be supplied. There will be a copy of the signature of the person that received the package, and the courier driver can be identified. If you require non-signature or specific delivery instructions, you will have to organise this with the courier company. Please use the tracking link provided with your dispatch confirmation to contact them.
Your Delivery Address
Please note that we are unable to deliver to PO Boxes outside of New Zealand or Australia.
Because a signature will be required, it is a good idea to provide a delivery address for the location you're likely to be at during the day, such as a work address.
If your work address is in a large or multi-level building, please note most couriers will only deliver to the foyer.
You are responsible for the package once it has been delivered.
If the courier is unable to leave the package at the address you provided, they may leave a card to advise you where you can pick the package up from.
Please be aware we are unable to provide exact delivery times for our couriers, and that couriers do not call prior to delivery.
Multiple Delivery Addresses
You may like to have your purchases delivered to different addresses. To do this, you will need to place each order separately, as we can only deliver to one address per order.
Delivery Times
We endeavour to dispatch orders within 1-2 working days, with most orders placed in the morning dispatched that same day. Please note delivery may be delayed during sale or busy periods. Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, approximate delivery times are as follows:
New Zealand orders (CourierPost):
1-2 working days
International deliveries (DHL Express):
Australia, 2-3 working days
Rest of World, 3-6 working days
Tracking Your Package
We will email you the tracking number of your package and you will be able to follow the progress of your package through the courier company.
International Customs Charges And Import Duties
Unfortunately, we have no control over customs charges and import duties. As customs policies and import duties vary greatly between countries, we are unable to tell you whether charges will be payable and what this cost will be. On occasions when customs charges and import duties are imposed, these charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.
Customs charges and import duties are charged once the parcel reaches the destination country, so to avoid any nasty surprises, we recommend you contact your local customs office for current charges before you order.
Untouched World™ will not be responsible for any customs charges and import duties.
When Your Package Arrives
When you receive your order, you should immediately check to ensure you have received the correct item/s ordered, and that no damage has occurred to the package during delivery.
If there is damage to the packaging that has affected your purchase, please make a note on the packing slip and ask the courier driver to sign the packing slip as well. Please contact us and let us know that your package has been damaged during delivery.
If your package is in perfect condition, but you discover the item/s inside are damaged or defective, please get in touch to let us know.
Returns and Exchanges
Conditions Of Return
If you are not fully satisfied with your Untouched World™ purchase, you can return it to us for a full refund or exchange it for another item, provided that the items are returned within 30 days of the order date, unworn, unwashed, and undamaged, in their original packaging (wherever possible) and with all accessories and tags. All refunds are issued at the discretion of Untouched World™. Untouched World™ reserves the right to refuse a refund request if it does not comply with these conditions. Please note that Untouched World™ does not accept returns (unless goods are faulty or not as ordered) on sale items. Sale items purchased are final sale, so please choose carefully.
Due to hygiene reasons, socks cannot be returned for a change of mind or incorrect size purchases. Exchanges are only possible if the socks are in their original packaging and have never been worn.

Packaging An Item For Return
