When receiving a consignment that maybe torn open, badly crushed etc please be sure to NOTE this when signing for the goods for your own protection and coverage. Signing for a parcel without any notifications effectively confirms it has been received by the consumer in good condition.

All international orders please note, that once your order has left New Zealand it may be subject to customs clearance procedures and charges, which can cause delays beyond original delivery estimates. Your order will usually take between 3-7 days to reach you, excluding delays due to customs. We are unable to delivery to PO Box addresses internationally. Orders to countries outside NZ may be subject to import duties and/or taxes, which are levied once your package reaches your country.

Your order is shipped on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis, which means that the price displayed at checkout are exclusive of all taxes and duties. We are unable to calculate the exact amount of duties and taxes your package will incur as these charges are imposed directly by your local customs. The international carrier may invoice you for the local taxes and duties, or you may have to deal with local customs directly to organise payment and release of your package. 

If an item is held for 5 days at customs or with the delivery provider with no response from the recipient it will be sent back to us, and the cost of this return postage will be deducted from the refund of the item.
