Delivery

 DELIVERY TIMEFRAMES

We aim to dispatch all orders Monday to Friday mornings (excluding public holidays and store holidays). During school holidays, we will dispatch orders three days each week. In case a product is temporarily out of stock, we will promptly inform you and send your order as soon as the item becomes available. It might take a few extra days to dispatch orders during Sales periods.

Please note that delivery timeframe may vary due to factors such as shipping location, courier service, peak periods, or unexpected events such as extreme weather conditions. We cannot be held responsible for any delays in delivery, and we appreciate your understanding in such situations. 

 DELIVERY ADDRESS & SIGNATURE 

Please ensure that you provide accurate and complete delivery information, including the recipient's name, delivery address, phone number, and any relevant business name if shipping to a work address. Once an order has been placed, we may be unable to change the delivery information, and we cannot be held responsible for any orders that go missing or delay due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by you. 

By default, all deliveries will not require a signature unless you request a signature-on-delivery. If you select signature-on-delivery, please ensure someone is available to sign at the delivery location. The cost for signature-on-delivery or photo proof of delivery is $1.50 NZD.

 SHIPPING METHODS

We use NZ Post, which is a more reliable courier service. Depending on your location and order size, we may adjust delivery methods to ensure the fastest and most cost-effective option. All orders are tracked, and a tracking number will be provided once dispatched.

 DELIVERY FEES

Delivery charges will vary depending on your location and the size of your order. Additional charges may apply for shipping to rural areas or for particularly bulky products, We reserve the right to contact you and request the necessary adjustments if such circumstances occurred.
