Frequently Asked Questions

⁰²Shipping & Handlingback

Want free shipping on your order?

I'm a big believer in getting and giving great value for money and great customer service. Obviously there is a cost to me in shipping/delivering your order to you so I can't just ship everything for free, however I have put free shipping/delivery minimum spend on orders so that if you do spend over a certain amount in one order I'll make the shipping/delivery free for you!

If your delivery address is in New Zealand and you spend over $49 on your order, shipping/delivery will be free, If your delivery address is anywhere else in the world outside of New Zealand and you spend over $79 on your order, shipping/delivery will be free!

Free shipping/delivery will be automatically given at the checkout if your order meets the minimum spend requirements. If your order is less than these amounts, don't despair we have very competitive shipping/delivery rates worldwide. I can't be any fairer than that now can I?

How long will my order take to process?

We aim to have parcels ready for dispatch within 1 normal business day (excluding public holidays).

If there are any delays we will contact you immediately.

If your parcel is required urgently please email us after placing your order and include your order number as a reference.

How should I format my address?

It is your responsibility to ensure that your address is accurate and complete. If you are unsure of how to format your address, please check with your country’s post office website.

If your parcel is being delivered to a business address, you must write the name of the business in the appropriate field. If your address is an apartment building, please ensure to write the correct apartment number and street address. Failure to do so will result in your parcel being returned to us by the courier or lost.

Most countries require a zip code/postcode, state or region and town. New Zealand addresses must have the suburb listed.

How should I format delivery instructions?

Couriers need as much help as they can get when delivering parcels. This is especially true with units or apartments. This includes listing how to ring up to an apartment (e.g. press number or bell), whether the parcel can be left with another person (reception, building manager etc), how to locate your unit (back of house, identifying features) and where to leave the parcel. If your property has a gate or may be difficult for the courier to access please consider this when placing your order and write the appropriate instruction. If you own dogs, please state whether it is safe for the courier to enter the property.

What are my responsibilities as an importer? (Overseas customers)

Once you decide to bring goods into your country from an overseas location you become an importer. This means that legally you are responsible for abiding by the import laws set by your country. We are not responsible for any items that are seized or destroyed by the Customs and Border Protection in your country. If your item is destroyed by Customs we are unable to provide any refund. We are also unable to refund for items that are opened, damaged or inspected by Customs.

What if my parcel is oversized?

If your order is very heavy, or is very big/bulky, You may be charged for the extra weight/volume. If that is the case, we will contact you directly to discuss prices/options prior to charging your order.
