Shipping policy

Shipping Policy – New Zealand

Order Processing Time

We aim to dispatch all in-stock items within 2–3 business days of your order being placed.

If you have not received an order confirmation or any communication from us within this timeframe, please check your spam/junk folder, as our emails occasionally land there.

Some items require additional preparation time and may take up to 5–7 business days to dispatch (see “Items With Longer Processing Times” below).

Where applicable, estimated restock or dispatch dates are noted directly in product titles or descriptions.

Shipping Rates

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on parcel size, weight, and destination.

Orders weighing over 20 kg may incur additional courier charges due to overweight or oversized surcharges. If this applies, we will contact you before dispatch.

A Note on Shipping Costs

We understand that shipping within New Zealand is expensive, and we truly wish we were in a position to subsidise these costs.

As a small business, we unfortunately do not have the order volume within New Zealand to absorb courier fees. Every dollar charged for shipping goes directly toward what we pay NZ Post for postage and handling each month — we do not mark up shipping for profit.

If we ever find that you have been overcharged for shipping due to a system or weight calculation error, we will refund the difference.

Duties & Taxes (International Orders)

International orders may be subject to import duties, taxes, or customs fees depending on your country’s regulations. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the customer.

For Australian customers: duties and taxes generally only apply to imports with a customs value over AUD $1,000. (This threshold is determined by Australian border/tax rules.) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

If you are located in Australia, you can also shop locally via our Australian store: www.allthingseffy.au. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Lost, Delayed, or Incorrect Orders

If your order is delayed, missing, or arrives incorrectly, please notify us as soon as possible so we can investigate with the courier.

Further details regarding refunds or replacements can be found in our Returns & Refund Policy.
