Returns and Exchanges
If an item is not quite right, does not fit or you have changed your mind, eligible items purchased at up to 49% off can be returned for an exchange or store credit. Items discounted by 50% or more are final sale, subject to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Change-of-Mind Returns
We do not offer refunds for change of mind or poor fit. Eligible returns can be exchanged or issued as store credit. Original shipping charges are not included in the exchange or credit value, and return postage is at your cost.
Your first replacement item is shipped back to you free of charge. Further exchanges incur the relevant courier cost. If the replacement costs more than the original item, we’ll send you a payment link for the difference.
How to Make a Return
- Email info@raptonline.co.nz within 10 days of receiving your order. Tell us what you are returning and whether you would prefer an exchange or store credit.
- Pack the item securely with all original tags and packaging, and include a copy of your email. Items returned used, damaged or without their original tags or packaging may not be accepted.
- Send the parcel using a tracked service to RAPT, PO Box 39, Ashburton 7740, New Zealand. The parcel remains your responsibility while it is in transit.
- Allow a few days after delivery for us to process the return, particularly during peak periods. We’ll then arrange the first exchange shipment or confirm that your store credit is ready.
Store credit appears as a payment option at checkout when you are logged in to the customer account it was issued to.
Return Conditions
- Returns must be sent within 10 days of receiving the item.
- Items must be in their original condition with all tags and packaging.
- Return shipping is at your cost. We recommend tracked postage because RAPT cannot accept responsibility for returns lost or damaged in transit.
- The first exchange shipment is free. Freight for a second exchange is charged to you.
- A maximum of two exchanges is available. After that, an eligible return will be issued as store credit.
- Items discounted by 50% or more are final sale unless they are faulty, incorrect or otherwise covered by your rights under New Zealand consumer law.
Faulty or Incorrect Items
If you receive a faulty or incorrect item, email info@raptonline.co.nz before sending it back. We’ll work with you on the appropriate remedy and meet our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Depending on the circumstances, this may include repair, replacement, refund or another agreed solution.
Pre-orders
A pre-order is a confirmed purchase for an item arriving later. Estimated delivery dates can change because they depend on manufacturers, suppliers and freight schedules. A change to the estimated arrival date does not automatically cancel the order.
Once a pre-ordered item arrives, eligible change-of-mind returns follow the same exchange or store-credit process above. Your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act still apply.
Consumer Guarantees
Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. We aim to resolve genuine product or fulfilment issues promptly and fairly.

About the Piece:
The "Angel of Mine" is inspired by the sensory memory of holding a newborn baby—the scent of their soft head, the warmth of skin-to-skin contact, and the overwhelming feeling of love and protection. As Susan Lordi, the artist behind Willow Tree, shares: “I wanted to capture that innermost quiet joy that every mother experiences when she holds her newborn—when love is felt deeply, with every sense. It has a lullaby feel to it, as if time stops, and the world revolves around that moment of closeness.”
This Willow Tree angel invites the recipient to remember and cherish the special bond between mother and child, offering a visual reminder of new beginnings and the beautiful journey of parenthood.

Why Willow Tree?
-
Handcrafted with Care: Each Willow Tree piece is personally hand-carved by Susan Lordi in her Kansas City studio, ensuring that each angel is unique and filled with emotion. The figurines are then cast from the original carvings and painted by hand to perfection.
-
Expressive Gestures: The beauty of Willow Tree figurines lies in their ability to convey emotion through gestures alone—a tilt of the head, the positioning of the hands, or the movement of the body. This allows each piece to have a personal connection with the giver and receiver.
-
Ideal for Any Occasion: Whether it's a celebration of motherhood, a new baby, or a heartfelt gift for someone you care about, Willow Tree figurines are perfect for expressing your love, gratitude, and best wishes.
