Delivery times are estimates. Rural delivery, customs processing, public holidays and postal disruptions may extend these timeframes.
Tracking
International orders are sent using NZ Post Economy Tracked. We will provide tracking details once your order has been dispatched.
Tracking updates may take time to appear, particularly while a parcel is moving between countries.
International duties and taxes
For shipping options labelled “International — Duties Paid”, applicable import duties and taxes are covered by us and included in the shipping charge shown at checkout.
For other international shipping options, import duties, taxes or customs clearance fees may be charged by the destination country. These charges are payable by the recipient and are separate from our shipping charge.
We only ship to destinations available at checkout. Availability may change because of postal service restrictions or local import requirements. If we cannot send your order, we will contact you to arrange a suitable alternative or refund.
Delivery addresses
Please check your delivery address carefully before placing your order. If you notice an error, email orders@stefthemaori.com as soon as possible.
We will try to update the address before dispatch. If an incorrect or incomplete address causes a parcel to be returned or requires redelivery, we will discuss any reasonable additional shipping costs with you before arranging another delivery.
Delayed, missing or damaged orders
If your order has not arrived within the estimated timeframe, or arrives damaged, please email orders@stefthemaori.com with your order number and details of the issue. Photos of any damage and packaging are helpful.
We will follow up with the delivery provider and work with you to resolve the issue.
