COURIER DELIVERIES

We use two different courier companies and we subsidise the courier costs. All orders are tracked and once your order has been picked up we will email you these details. The couriers we use are signature required and we ask that you ensure that someone will be available at the delivery address to receive your goods.

If you do not need a signature delivery, delivery of goods is at your own risk. Please advise us in the delivery instructions section on the shipping page where you would like to have the goods left on your property in the event that no one is home.

Orders that are placed after 12pm on Fridays may not be processed for delivery until Monday morning. We always send a receipt and courier tracking details in email form, so you are aware of your orders current status. We are unable to send to P.O boxes, or to destinations outside of New Zealand. Some products we may need to get from one of our other branches, so, not all products advertised on our website are immediately available for delivery. If you have an urgent request, please contact us prior to placing your order to ensure that we can accommodate your requests. You can expect to receive your goods within 2-4 working days (rural deliveries may take up to 7 days).  If we are unable to meet this time frame, we will email you with an estimated time of arrival.


SHIPPING RATES

We offer FREE SHIPPING on orders $79 & OVER.  Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer completely free shipping on any rural delivery. For rural orders $79 and over a fee of $7.50 will be added at checkout. An order placed under $79.00 will incur a delivery fee of $7.50 for urban/city deliveries, plus an additional $7.50 for rural deliveries. All associated costs are in NZD.  We send all goods from our Lower Hutt branch. These are collected by the courier before 2pm on weekdays only.


PACKAGING

Where possible The Pet Centre will package your order in clean, sturdy boxes or packaging that we have repurposed from our own stock deliveries. Where first use packaging is required, we will endeavour to use bags and boxes made from recycled and/or compostable materials.


OVERSIZED SHIPPING

Products like large cat scratch furniture, kennels, hutches, aquariums and some pet beds are considered oversize.  Please call us on 04 5698861 and we would be more than happy to arrange shipping based upon your location and current price rates as per our courier companies.


My order has not arrived, what should I do?

Please email weborders@thepetcentre.co.nz or give us a call on 04 5698861 and we will do our best to track down your order. In the rare event that your order has been lost by the couriers, we will send a replacement with no additional charge with confirmation by the courier company that your order is lost. Conditions apply.

Has my order been shipped yet?

Once your order has been dispatched you will be sent an email containing your tracking number to confirm your order is on its way.
