Rates - International Orders
International Orders shipping costs are calculated on the weight of your order.
For customers who wish to know the shipping charges in advance of processing their entire order we have included a shipping estimate button for your convenience. Simply add the products you are interested in purchasing to your shopping cart, once in the shopping cart you will see a shipping estimate button, simply click on estimate you will then need to select your country destination and then click the submit button. You will then be given shipping rates for delivery by International Airmail, International Airmail Tracked and International Courier (where applicable). You can amend your shopping cart items as many times as you like but once an amendment has been made you will need to follow the shipping estimate procedure again to get the correct shipping costs.
Delivery Times - International Orders
We offer three shipping methods for international orders, International Airmail, International Airmail Tracked and International Courier. The shipping times displayed below are applicable once your order has been despatched from our warehouse in New Zealand, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming this.
Please contact us directly for current shipping times for your country.
Please note that no allowances have been made in the above delivery schedule for orders that may be held up in customs. In the unlikely event that this might happen please allow an extra few days onto the destination schedule. Orders delayed in customs is not something we are able to control, but from our experience it is a very rare occurrence. In order to avoid parcels being delayed in customs we do not send out parcels weighing more than 2kg each. If an order weighs more than 2kg we will seperate it out into different parcels, this procedure does not affect the shipping costs to our customers and also reduces the chances of the parcels being delayed in customs. Customs duties and taxes were levied are payable by the receiver.
- International airmail is the most commonly used shipping method with our customers. All orders shipped by International airmail are automatically insured by us at no extra cost to our customers. We can also ship to Post Office Boxes with our International airmail service. This service is not tracked.
- International airmail (Tracked) is the same as International Airmail, however this is a tracked service and the progress of your order can be tracked online.
- International Courier for time sensitive orders without the expense of international express. This service does allow delivery to PO Boxes. This service is tracked.
