Once your order has been handed to New Zealand Post, delivery responsibility transfers to the courier service.
We are not responsible for delays, missed deliveries, or service interruptions caused by New Zealand Post or third-party couriers.

No Refunds for Courier Delays

Courier delays do not qualify for refunds, replacements, or compensation, including:
- Late delivery
- Missed delivery windows
- Seasonal or peak-period delays
This includes items shipped via overnight or express services, which remain subject to NZ Post’s terms and conditions.

However, courier delays and third-party delivery failures are not considered product faults

1. General

Making Mermaids supplies recreational swimwear, mermaid tails, fins, costumes, and related products and services. By purchasing from us, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

2. Faulty or Damaged Items on Arrival

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, products must arrive:

of acceptable quality
fit for purpose
free from manufacturing faults.

If an item arrives damaged, ripped, or faulty, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.

What we require:

clear photographs showing the issue
your order details.

What we offer:

a replacement, or
a refund, depending on stock availability and your preference.

Once the issue is confirmed, we will arrange the appropriate remedy promptly.

3. Swimwear, Mermaid Tails & Fins – Wear and Tear

Mermaid tails, fins, and swimwear are recreational items designed for use in water. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, these products are expected to withstand reasonable use, but they are also subject to normal wear and tear.

Please note:

Regular use, particularly in chlorinated water, will naturally affect fabric and seams over time
Pulling, stretching, fading, or small tears that occur after use are considered normal wear, not a manufacturing fault
Items showing wear after use are not eligible for replacement or refund.

This is consistent with the Consumer Guarantees Act, which does not cover damage caused by normal use, misuse, or lack of proper care.

4. Care and Use Responsibilities

To help ensure products last as long as reasonably expected:

Items should be rinsed in cool, fresh water after each use
Items should be fully dried between swims
Mermaid tails and fins are designed for swimming only, not walking, standing, or jumping on pool edges
Adult supervision is recommended at all times for children using water-based products.

Failure to follow care and use guidance may shorten the lifespan of the product and is not considered a fault under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

5. Fit and Sizing

Correct sizing is important for comfort, safety, and durability.

Items that are too small may place excess strain on seams and fabric
Damage caused by incorrect sizing or forced use is not considered a manufacturing fault.

We are always happy to help with sizing advice before or shortly after purchase.

6. Replacement Parts & Support

Where available, we may offer:

replacement components (such as fins)
sizing upgrades
care advice.

Some replacement parts may be supplied at cost.

7. Non-Swimwear Products

For non-swimwear items, the Consumer Guarantees Act applies in full.
If a non-swimwear item fails to meet acceptable quality standards, we will provide an appropriate remedy in line with the Act.

Our Story

Kia ora, ocean souls! I’m Fiona—also known as Mermaid Ffifi—and my journey to founding Making Mermaids is one that flows as deep as the tides.

I was born with a love for the sea. Growing up in Kenya and South Africa, the ocean was my constant companion, a vast, mysterious world that called to me. I answered that call as a scuba instructor and underwater photographer, spending decades beneath the waves, exploring, learning, and capturing the magic of the deep. But it wasn’t until I arrived in Aotearoa, my new home, that I discovered something truly transformative—mermaiding.

The first time I slipped into a tail and swam as a mermaid, I felt something shift. It was more than just movement—it was a return to something primal, something free. I wasn’t just in the water; I was of it. And I knew I wasn’t alone in that feeling.

Mermaids have always existed in the stories of cultures across the world, including here in New Zealand. They embody mystery, beauty, strength, and the connection between humans and the ocean. I saw in mermaiding a way to bring people together—those who, like me, feel the call of the sea in their bones.

That’s why I founded Making Mermaids—not just as a school or a company, but as a community. A place where anyone in New Zealand who feels drawn to the world of mermaids can find their tribe. A space where we celebrate our shared passion, whether through swimming, storytelling, photography, or simply embracing the joy of being merfolk.

For me, mermaiding is about more than just tails and underwater tricks—it’s about belonging. It’s about the unspoken understanding between people who know what it feels like to glide weightlessly through the blue and feel at home.

Making Mermaids is for all of us who dream in saltwater, who hear the ocean’s whisper and answer with a splash. If that’s you, then welcome—you’ve found your pod.
