Freight Charges
Unlike many other companies, we do not incorporate estimated freight costs into our selling prices. The result is a much cheaper catalogue price (as is evident by our significantly cheaper prices). Freight is a real cost though, so we do have a fixed freight cost which is calculated by Postal Codes.
These rates are fixed. The only exception to this is when your order is small and durable enough to be sent inside a satchel. If you think this is the case, then please let us know, and we will discount the freight if we feel the freight is excessive for the order.
It is important that addresses are correct so please see note below in regard to incorrect addresses.
Please note that we do not ship on Weekends or Public Holidays (Auckland).
Fixed Freight Costs:
- Auckland Region Urban - $7
- Auckland Region Rural - $15
- Great Barrier - $25
- Rest of North Island Urban Address - $12
- Rest of North Island Rural Address - $20
- South Island Urban Address - $20
- South Island Rural Address - $30
NB: Please note that in the case of the incorrect postcode being used in an order, resulting in an incorrect freight charge, we will require a freight top-up payment to cover the shortfall before sending the goods.
