Shipping and Dispatch

Our handmade artisan manufacturing process means we don’t always have every product ready on the shelf, please be aware we allow up to 7-10 days to make your order and get it dispatched.

Due to the impact of Covid19 delivery times are variable - 

Domestic deliveries in NZ can take around 5 -7 days to arrive

Overseas standard delivery is taking around 4/5 weeks at present

Express delivery is taking around 7/10 working days - Express service is  being handled with DHL & Fedex. At the moment they are still delivering within the 7/10 working day time frames.  

If you need your order quickly, we have introduced an expedited dispatch service which moves your order straight to the front of the queue, we will make every effort to have your order out the door within two working days. Due to external suppliers we may not always be able to do this, we will advise if your order cannot be expedited and give you a timeline for its delivery.

If your job is time sensitive please message or email us before placing the order to ensure we can meet your timeline, Expedited service or express delivery may be needed to keep to your schedule.
