Why have I received multiple confirmation emails?
We really don't want you to miss out on anything you've ordered, so sometimes we fill orders from multiple warehouses which may result in separate deliveries. This is called a split order. We do this to make sure you can get your full order from all over New Zealand.
How does it work?If your order has been split, you'll receive your first tracking number when the first half of the order is dispatched, and you'll receive the second tracking number as soon as the second half of the order has been dispatched.
Your orders will likely arrive at different times due to the different dispatch times.
-
I only received one item, where is the rest?
Only received part of your order?
If you have ordered a few items, we may need to fulfil your order from multiple locations. This means we will pack and ship your items separately and therefore some items may arrive at a later date, even though you ordered everything together. We call this a split order.
How do I track the rest of my order?
If your order has been split, you will receive an email with your tracking details for each separate delivery.
Please note: You won't receive both tracking numbers at the same time as they will be dispatched separately, from different locations, which means different dispatch times.
If your order arrives and you're missing one or more items, we recommend double checking your emails to see if you've received any additional tracking numbers. If not, feel free to contact our Customer Experience Team below and we can provide you with tracking updates.
