Shipping policy

Shipping and Courier

How will my purchase be delivered and what is the cost?

We send out your orders via local couriers nationwide, and pricing is based on your location. This is based on items that fit into a shoebox and weigh under 2kg. For much larger/heavier items, or delicate items, we may need to contact you with a freight quote before we can send your order.

Do you ship to Rural Addresses?

Yes, rural shipping is available! Please make sure to use the rural freight option during checkout, or we will need to quote you separately for freight before we can process your order.  Deliveries to rural addresses will usually take a few extra days depending on your location, so please allow some extra time for delivery. 

Do you ship outside of New Zealand?

We have worldwide shipping available through DHL! For technical reasons, we can't fulfill these orders through our online store. Please email us with your order or contact us, and we will get back to you with a freight quote. 

What is the best address to use for delivery of goods?

As we use couriers to deliver goods, you must use a physical street address and not a PO Box number. If you are sending an item to a person’s home who is not there during the day, we suggest it might be better to send it to their work address.

Can I send my gift purchase to someone other than myself?

Yes! As you go through to the checkout you will be asked the delivery address of the recipient, at this point you nominate the person and actual physical address you want the gift sent to. Please use the street address if possible, we are often unable to deliver to PO Boxes.

How long does it take for the goods to reach me?

Most orders within New Zealand are delivered within a week. We endeavour to pack and despatch the goods to you on the same business day that your order is placed, but given that we are a small business, this can sometimes take a few days. Courier services are only available on weekdays, we do not despatch on weekends. In the unlikely event that an item you ordered is unavailable and there will be a delay in restocking it, we will contact you asking whether you want to wait for the product, or if you would like us to refund/credit you for that item. Also note that Courier services can get very busy, especially around public holidays and Christmas. Once your order is with the Courier service, it should be delivered within a timeframe that is reasonable for your location. If you have chosen a Rural Delivery address, please allow extra time for your parcel to arrive.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?

If you placed your order online or provided us with your email address, you will have received a tracking number when your order was despatched, which you can use to check the delivery status of your order. If you haven't received a tracking number and would like to track your parcel, please contact us.

My parcel hasn't arrived, what do I do?

Parcels can be delayed for many reasons.  Courier services can often be delayed by public holidays, extreme weather, and busy seasons such as Christmas. When delivering to home addresses, a courier might not deliver if there are dogs on the property, locked gates, or nowhere safe to leave the parcel. Please use the order's tracking number to check the delivery status of your parcel and any delays, arrange for redelivery, or arrange for redirection to another address. If your parcel was lost in transit, please contact us so that we can make a claim with the courier service to replace or refund your order. 

What do I do if an item arrives damaged?

All our items are carefully checked before despatch. In the unlikely circumstance that damage occurs in transit we will replace the product free of charge. To ensure delivery of replacement you must contact us within three days of receiving the goods. You will need to send back the damaged goods in the original packaging before we send the replacement.
