While we endeavour to pack your order as quickly as possible, please allow 1-2 working days for us to do so!

We endeavour to get your order shipped within 2 working days of receiving payment. Please bare this time in mind when placing your order, especially if opting to pay by bank transfer (NZ orders, only). If there is a reason for urgency, please get in touch with us to see if we can help.

Please make sure you include any delivery instructions on the checkout page when placing your order. 

We wrap all notebooks in bubble wrap, to protect them on their journey. NOTE: We are currently trialing a new naturally biodegradable and compostable option to replace our plastic bubble wrap. If you have any feedback on this, please let us know!

All our packages are delivered in compostable bags or cardboard boxes.

We'd be honoured to gift wrap your order. We have Navy or Pink wrapping paper with gold ribbon (it's really pretty).

There's an option to add gift wrapping onto your order for $5, but please specify if you only need a few items wrapped in the order notes.

If you want us to leave the invoice out of the package, please let us know in the order notes.

We ship from our warehouse in Christchurch, New Zealand. All orders are personally picked and packed by Nancy or Grace (usually Grace).

Yep! We still charge $4 to help cover the time taken and the materials (we still like to wrap your order up properly), but you're more than welcome to pick up from our Christchurch Warehouse.

We share the warehouse with a few other businesses, but once your order is packaged and ready for collection, someone (most likely Grace) will email you with the details.

Ensure you have your name and order number with you when you collect so we ensure we give you the right package!

You will be sent an email with tracking details as soon as the courier has collected your parcel from us.

If you haven't received this email and are concerned, please check the following:

Did you receive an order confirmation email? If not, maybe we are in your spam folder?

If we're not in your spam folder, is your email address that we have correct?

Get in touch with us to check via email, quoting your order number, then Grace can check your email address and give you an update :)

NZ 1-5 business days: Flat rate of $10 NZD per order or $15 NZD for rural delivery.

Rural delivery incurs an extra cost and will take a few extra days to reach you.

To keep things simple, we've chosen $15 flat rate to help subsidise this extra cost.

Please choose rural delivery box at checkout. We cannot deliver to a rural address if rural delivery has not been paid for.

If you are unsure if you need to pay for rural delivery, check your address here before proceeding with payment: https://www.posthaste.co.nz/address_checker.html

AUS 5-12 business days: Flat rate of $15 AUD per order with semi-tracked post.

USA 6-14 business days: Flat rate of $15 USD per order with tracked post.

USA 1-5 business days: Flat rate of $50 USD for FedEx Courier

As you know, New Zealand is pretty isolated from the rest of the world.

We ship to the USA using New Zealand International Tracked Postal service. It can take up to 14 working days for the parcel to arrive at your door. We have chosen to not offer untracked International Post to the USA.

We've tried to average out the postage costs, so we're trialing a flat rate of $15 USD for tracked post.

We are looking for a courier service, which aims to get a parcel to you within 5 working days. We're also looking for a distribution partner so we can hold and post stock from within the United States. If you have any suggestions, please get in touch with us and let us know!

Canada 6-14 business days: Flat rate of $20 CAD per order with semi-tracked post.

Canada 1-5 business days: Flat rate of $60 CAD for International Courier.

If you're not in NZ, AUS, USA or Canada...

We're trialing $55 NZD Flat Rate per order for semi-tracked, international post.

Any taxes, duties or custom costs are not included in our pricing. These will need to be organised and paid by you.

Ensure you include accurate contact information so the courier companies can get in touch about any extra fees.

Everything is shipped from our warehouse in New Zealand, so it's worth checking what agreements your country has for trade with our little country.

For those within New Zealand, direct bank transfer is the cheapest way to pay. You can chose this option at checkout and you will be given instructions.

Please include your order number as reference. If you don't, we won't be able to pair your payment together with your order.

Unfortunately, we cannot package and ship your parcel until we have received payment. Depending on your bank, this can take up to three working days. We will send an email once payment has been received to keep you up-to-date.

As soon as payment has been confirmed, we will package and send out your parcel.

International Bank Transfer from outside New Zealand is not available.

No matter where in the world you are, our system should be able to accept your credit or debit card for payment.

Whether you use a credit or debit card, online payment gateways treat the transaction the same. Paying with credit or debit card incurs a fee that we now absorb.

If you wish to have a refund, you will still be charged the credit card fees to do so.

We are currently using Stripe to accept payment, which charges 2.9% plus $0.30, NZD. 

Payment is confirmed immediately, so you will not have to wait any extra time for your payment to be received.

We believe in helping our customers live their best lives. To us, this includes not taking on unnecessary debt. While systems like Afterpay or Laybuy can be useful, they also encourage people to spend more than they can afford. We don't agree with that.

Therefore, we do not currently accept Afterpay or Laybuy. We apologise for any inconvenience this choice might cause.

Luckily for everyone involved, we track all our orders. This means we can work with the postal or courier service to track it down.

In order to do this, we will need your help to confirm details.

If your parcel is deemed to be "lost", we will need you to fill out some paperwork for the courier service before we are able to send a replacement.

If your parcel has been deemed "stolen", it is then a criminal issue and needs to be lodged with the police.

Luckily, in the 6 years we've been operating, we've only ever had a handful of parcels go missing.
