What is Locals?
Locals is our loyalty scheme, which gives us a way to reward our rad customers (that's you, FYI). You can sign on and rack up points for your account online, or at any North Beach store.
What are the benefits of being Local?
Locals Rewards – Spend Dollars, Get Dollars
Spend $500 on full price product in 6 months and you'll get a sweet $30 voucher in return.
Extended Returns Period
Locals have 45 days to return items for an exchange, credit or refund. That's 15 days longer than regular folks, which gives you more time to make up your mind.
Early Access to sales, products and offers
Locals get early access to promotions, products and offers. Just between us, you'll also be eligible for certain special discounts on an as and when basis.
Invites to events, parties and VIP nights
We know you like to be in the know, so know this - our Locals get exclusive invites to events hosted by North Beach or in partnership with our brands.
Birthday Gift
Tell us your birthday, and we’ll send you a little something to make your day that little bit sweeter!
Where can I redeem my $30 Locals voucher?
The short answer? Anywhere!
When shopping online, simply log into your account and
proceed to checkout – your vouchers will be ready and waiting for you there.
Alternatively, our friendly staff can help you use your voucher in-store.
What are the terms & conditions?
We've got a full list of Terms and Conditions
here, but we've listed the key points below:
Local Vouchers You earn a voucher by spending $500 on full price items within 6 months.
Local vouchers will expire after 3 months if not redeemed.
You can combine multiple vouchers to use at once, e.g. if you spend $1000 on full price within 6 months, you will have a $60 voucher which you can choose to use whenever you want.
Regular Locals vouchers will carry over – e.g if you want to only spend $20 of your voucher, you will have a $10 balance remaining on your account.
Birthday CodesA Birthday code will give you $20 off your next North Beach purchase.
Birthday codes expire 2 weeks after they're issued. They're single use vouchers, so you'll need to use it all in one go - the voucher won't split over two items and the value won't carry over like Local vouchers. The voucher is non refundable, transferable or redeemable for cash.
Not valid with any other offer (including Locals $30 Vouchers or any other discount code).
I need to return something, what happens to my Locals voucher?
Exhanges
If you redeem your $30 voucher, and then exchange it for
another item, the $30 will be taken off the item you are swapping for.
Refunds
If you redeem your $30 voucher, and then return the item for
a refund, the $30 voucher will be loaded back onto your account. You will lose
any points that were earned from the item you are returning.
How do I use my Birthday Voucher?
If you're a Local, you'll receive a sweet one-off $20 voucher to help you celebrate being a year older! We'll email you the code on your birthday, and you'll have two weeks to use it.
How do I use it online?
Easy! Simply log into your locals account and apply the discount code at checkout when shopping online. Make sure you do this
before you place your order, as the discount cannot be applied after the purchase has been made.
This is a single use voucher, which means it can't be split over multiple transactions - you'll have to treat yourself all in one go! It also means it isn't refundable, transferable or able to be redeemed for cash.
My code isn't working...
First, ensure you are logged in to your locals account! Then check if you're using it for a valid purchase, as Locals Birthday Vouchers can't be used with any other offer, or on final clearance items.
Can I use it in store?
Absolutely! Simply give one our rad staff members your email address in store and they will be able to look up the voucher for you.
Still confused?
Contact us!
Help! I didn't receive a birthday voucher?
Firstly, oh no! Sorry about that. There are a couple of details we need to check first:
1)
Have you received a birthday voucher in the past 365 days?
If yes, you won't be getting another until you have completed another lap around the sun. .
2) Is your birth date and email address entered correctly?
Log into your Locals account and check all your details are correct.
3) Double check you are subscribed to our mailing list - if you have unsubscribed previously, sadly we are not able to email you - you can however still use your birthday voucher in store - just ask our friendly staff to look up your email address and apply the voucher.
4) Lastly, we suggest checking your junk/spam folders - our emails may be filtered out from your main inbox by mistake.
Still need help?
Contact us now.
It's my birthday today, is it too late to join Locals?
Absolutely not! We'd love to have you join us!

International orders will be dispatched 1-3 working days after the order is placed and will be shipped in 1- 2 business days.

The approximate delivery times provided are estimates only and exclude any courier delays, processing time and public holidays. Delivery may also be delayed during heavy sale or promotional periods.
Please note, your ordered items may come from different stores depending on stock levels. This means you may receive multiple parcels dispatched at different times from different stores.
How do I know if my order has been shipped?
When your order has been picked and dispatched you will be emailed a shipping confirmation email. This email includes a tracking link for every parcel on its way to you. With this link you can track the progress of your deliveries.
You will receive the tracking link/s once the full order has been dispatched. This means in the case of multiple parcels being dispatched, you will receive the links once they have all been completed.
How do I track my order?
In your confirmation of shipping email there will be a tracking link provided for every parcel on its way to you. Please note, you may have multiple parcels coming as we dispatch from across all of our stores.
By clicking on the link you will be taken to the courier company website, where you can track the progress of your delivery.

Which countries do you ship to?
We currently ship to New Zealand only. We have had to temporarily suspend shipping to Australia. If you are located in Australia or Internationally please
contact us to see if we can help, alternatively you can send a digital gift card anywhere in the world!
What if I have received the wrong order?
Please
contact us right away with your order number. We'll get it sorted for you as soon as possible.
What happens if I’m not in when the courier arrives?
All of our parcels are sent signature required, so we recommend making your delivery address a place where someone will be there to receive it.
If nobody is there to sign for the parcel a card to call should be left by the courier to let you know delivery was attempted. There are instructions on how and what to do next on the card to call.
Can I choose a specific day or time for delivery?
Unfortunately, this isn't a service we can currently provide.
If you call the courier company directly, they may be able to help with specific delivery instructions.

There are items missing from my order?

Click on the item you’re interested in and scroll down the page until you see a grey box labelled ‘Check Instore’. This will show which stores are stocking the item, including which sizes are available.

How does a Laybuy refund work?
If you’re not happy with your purchase, returns with North Beach are easy – here’s how it works with Laybuy:
1) Return your order back to the original branch the purchase was made at for a full refund. If you’re unable to return your item to the original branch a store credit will be issued in place of a refund.
2) North Beach receives the returned goods and notifies Laybuy.
3) Laybuy immediately processes your refund (you will receive an email to confirm this).
4) The bank processes the refund to the card used to make the payment. This may take 5-7 working days.

How does an Afterpay refund work?
Refunds with Afterpay are easy as, but they do work differently than a direct North Beach refund. Here’s the process:
1) Return your order back to the original branch the purchase was made at for a full refund. If you’re unable to return your item to the original branch a store credit will be issued in place of a refund.
2) North Beach receives your return and notifies Afterpay.
3) Afterpay will process the transaction. Your refund will show up in your payment plan – it will adjust payments from
your last instalment backwards.
Note: Afterpay refunds can take up to 7 business days, depending which bank you are with.
If you have further questions about your Afterpay refund or Afterpay account, please contact
Afterpay.

Please mark your item as faulty on your returns form.
Do I have to pay for items to be returned?
Yes. We also recommend you send them back via tracked delivery so you can keep an eye on the delivery progress.
