What is Authority to Leave?

Authority to leave (ATL) is selected by default at the checkout. If this option is left checked, the courier will not require a signature for delivery and will leave the parcel in a safe place if no one is home. You agree that the parcel is deemed 'delivered' when left at your premises. 

What if I selected ATL and my parcel is stolen? 

Platypus Shoes will not be held liable for any stock loss, due to theft or negligence if Authority To Leave is selected at the time of checkout and proof of delivery has been provided from our courier.

I would like to sign for my order, how can I ensure this? 
If you would prefer to sign for the parcel, please deselect the option "I give permission to leave this order at the above address" at checkout. If no one is home at the time of delivery, the parcel will be taken to your local Post Office for collection. 

I've been notified that my order has been delivered, but I haven't received it!

• Check your tracking details. Your order may have been taken to your local Post Office.

If you are not at home when delivery is attempted, the courier driver will leave your parcel in a safe place.

If they deem it unsafe to leave your parcel unattended, they'll leave a collection card and you can collect your parcel from your local post office.

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. 

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. 

Please note that shipping and handling times can take anywhere between 2-9 business days, as your order could be coming from any one of our stores or warehouses. 

Your order confirmation will be sent to the email address that was entered upon placing the order.

Once your item/s have been dispatched, you will receive your tracking details.

If your size isn't available in-store, our team can order your item from another store or warehouse and have it delivered to your house.

When placing an order in-store, please double-check that you provide your correct delivery address and contact details. 

Your item will be delivered within 2-9 business days.
