All national orders are sent via NZ Post at a standard fee. For International shipping rate we have 2 delivery options, Air Parcel Post, or International courier for a slightly faster delivery. Please provide your physical address for shipping as we cannot deliver to PO boxes.

​Some addresses may have delivery restrictions that are beyond our control or delivery conditions that we are not able to meet. In these situations, we will do our best to get your parcel but if this is not possible through our standard delivery channels, we will work with you to come to a mutually agreeable solution.
