How to Use
To grow them, you simply put them into a large bowl and cover with 5 cups of water and watch them expand over the next 5 or so hours. PRO-TIP - Use warm/hot tap water for faster growth.
One they have grown, drain away excess water and voila, you have a bowl of slippery, colourful, bouncy, ball fun!
How do you use No Nasties Water Beads?
You are limited only by your imagination when it comes to our water beads – which is what makes this product so much fun.

AdultsI LOVE the feel of water beads! Full disclaimer, they are addictive to play with! In a gorgeous glass bowl on the bench, they are pretty and colourful and the feel of them is such a stress release. Dip your hand into a bowl of these and they feel amazing!

If you have a Rural Delivery Address but have not paid the additional fee, we will email you with an option of either paying the additional fee, or changing to a non RD address.
If we have had no response after a follow up email, we will refund your order minus a $15 administration fee, or the full order value, which ever is less.
OVERSEAS GIFT ORDERS
Please ensure that you include the correct phone number for the DELIVERY address as well as your phone number for the billing address.
We often need to contact the receiver to check delivery details etc and if we need to send an email to you it can delay delivery significantly due to different time zones etc.
**PRE-ORDER ITEMS**
Please note that if you purchase other items with a pre order item, all items will be held until your pre-order item is available.
If you wish for the other items to be shipped immediately, please put them through in a separate purchase. Shipping will need to be paid for both shipments.

PO BOXES

PLEASE NOTE
Once the item has left us we have no control over the courier network. Please allow 4 working days before contacting us.

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY
Due to the rising costs of international shipping and the unreliability of shipping timeframes, we no longer ship internationally.
Repackaging Fees
It is our goal to have orders ready for the courier or for pickup within 30 minutes of receiving the order (during working hours) and often have your parcel ready to go within just a few minutes of you placing the order.
However this means that if there is a change of mind (for example colour, size, wrapping paper, or adding to your order), we are likely to have completed your order already, and be unable to reuse the courier packaging.
For this reason, we reserve the right to charge a $5 repackaging fee which may need to be paid before your goods are couriered out.
We ship directly from our physical shop in Christchurch, NZ and do not drop ship, so you will not be left waiting for your goodies.

Theft From Mailboxes / Front Porch
Sadly, theft of online orders is skyrocketing.
Unfortunately even when we request 'signature delivery', most couriers seem to sign for it themselves even though we are charged extra. When they don't sign for it, they take it to their depot, often making it extremely inconvenient for you to retrieve it.
If you would like a signature delivery please let us know.
Please ensure you have a safe place for your parcel to be left - you can leave a note in the checkout 'leave by back door' etc.
If you purchase a lot online, we recommend getting a courier drop box so your goods are safe until you arrive home.
Click & Collects
Please note that orders which have not been collected within 2 weeks from order date may be refunded, minus a $15 administration fee, or the full order value, which ever is less.
We will contact you via text (if we have your mobile number) and email as soon as your order is ready for collection, and before we refund your order (text only, if we have your number, email if we don't).
We will include a link on this reminder for you to be able to pay for a courier instead, if you are unable to collect your order.

Change of Mind Exchanges and Returns
SmartyPants is happy to accept returns for change of mind within 14 days of your purchase. You may either exchange your item for another of the same value, or Store Credit will be issued for the purchase value. Your item must be unused and in the condition that you received it. Tags must still be attached and / or must be returned in it’s original, undamaged packaging and proof of purchase will be required. All sales of clearance items are final.
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase unless otherwise agreed. Clearance items are unable to be returned unless they are faulty.
All online purchase returns must be accompanied by your original order number, found on your order confirmation.
Change of mind returns will result in a store credit issued to the value of your purchase.

Please note that credits for change of mind returns do not include the cost of shipping. If you have received free shipping, your credit will be minus SmartyPants’ current cost of shipping. The cost of shipping is the sole responsibility of the purchaser, and the replacement item will be sent out only once the original item and payment for new shipping has been received. If you are returning goods to SmartyPants please ensure you use a tracked courier as we cannot accept any responsibility for items that don’t arrive.

We may need to contact our suppliers and ask for their recommendation. In the event that it is deemed the item is faulty, SmartyPants may provide a courier bag to you in order to return it to us. We will then either repair or replace and get it back to you as quickly as possible.
