We will process and dispatch your order as quickly as possible within standard business hours. Processing may take 3 working days at the most. Please do get in touch if you need your order processed urgently. Once your order has been processed we offer a next working day courier service between major cities and towns. This is a guide only and both rural and South Island addresses may take an extra working day. This service is subject to processing time and product availability - we will always advise if there is an expected delay. At most, your parcel should arrive within 5 working days of receipt of order.
Deliveries take place Monday to Friday. Once the courier has picked up your order from Father Rabbit HQ, you'll be emailed a tracking number so that you can follow the journey of your parcel. All parcels are set to 'Authority to Leave' which means if you're not home at the time of delivery the courier will leave your parcel in a safe place on your property where possible. They do not require a signature. We use Courier Post for the majority of New Zealand deliveries.

* All orders are sent with either NZ Post, TNT or DHL (determined by Father Rabbit). You can expect that items will usually arrive at their destination within 6 - 12 days. However NZ Post does not directly control all parts of the delivery chain, they cannot guarantee that your item will always reach its destination within the delivery target. Delivery to areas outside major cities, or where your item is dutiable or held in customs, may take longer. The delivery targets listed are only a guide. Any additional taxes or customs duties that are incurred within the recipient's country are the responsibility of the buyer/recipient. These may include quarantine charges, especially for things like wood or brush ware. Goods are insured up to the value of $1000. However NZ post does not insure glassware or very breakable items like mirrors or ceramics.
Please continue to track the item to make sure you are aware of any contact by the courier service to arrange delivery. If the courier service has tried to deliver the item (and then the item returned to the depot or postal service in your town) and you have not been in touch or failed to contact them in the timeframe, and the parcel is returned to NZ, we unfortunately can not cover the cost of re-sending back to you and the order can not be refunded. If by chance you have not received your order sent within 2 weeks after you placed your order, please contact us immediately as we will make sure we follow this up for you with our courier company and help to resolve any issues straight away.
All orders are determined by their volumetric weight over their physical weight. Even though a product may weigh very little, it's volumetric weight is likely to be greater. For example, one of our Father Rabbit wooden drying racks weighs approximately 3kg but due to it's size, it's volumetric weight is just over 10kg.
