TERMS OF TRADE (last update 1st November, 2008)
We are constantly striving to provide top quality dog and cat food at reasonable prices delivered direct to your door. Our terms of trade are designed to minimise the cost of unnecessary overheads. Please take time to read these terms of sale so that you understand what charges you may incur.
DELIVERY
We use Fastway Couriers for all parcels greater than 2kg. We may use NZ Post Parcel service for some parcels up to 2kg. All deliveries must be sent to a physical address not a P O Box. Our standard practice is to not require a signature on delivery of a parcel. This means you are responsible for the goods once they are delivered by the courier. If you wish to sign for your parcel, which may mean a delay in delivery if you are out and not available to sign, please let us know.
Our delivery charges are:
North Island - Town Delivery (subject to General Conditions)
If your order is over $75.00 then delivery is FREE.
If your order is under $75.00 then the delivery fee is $5.00
South Island - Town Delivery (subject to General Conditions) (updated 1st November, 2008)
If your order is over $75.00 then the delivery fee is $8.00 per 20kg parcel
If your order is under $75.00 then the delivery fee is $10.00 per 20kg parcel
If your order is under $75.00, non bulky and weighs under 4kg the delivery fee is $6.00
North & South Island - General Conditions
-
Small Items - if it is possible to send a small item via NZ Post at a lower cost to us than the courier service we will reduce the freight cost to you accordingly.
- Oversize Items - very heavy and bulky items may incur additional costs. We will advise you before dispatch if there is an additional charge at which time you are able to cancel your order if you do not wish to pay the additional cost.
-
Non Standard Delivery- some delivery addresses are deemed non standard by the courier company, e.g. rural or fringe town deliveries. For delivery to these addresses there will be an additional $5.00 charge per parcel.
-
Returns - if we make a mistake and send you the wrong product or if you are returning faulty product there is no charge. However, if you change your mind, order the wrong product or give us the wrong delivery address and we incur additional freight costs for you to return the goods then we reserve the right to charge those costs to you. We will always let you know what the cost will be.
To minimise freight costs we are happy to combine orders and/or send to an alternate town address, e.g. for rural customers pick up from the local store is usually possible. If due to the nature of your order we can use an alternative delivery method we may charge a reduced fee.
RETURNS
If the goods you receive are damaged you must let us know within 24 hours of delivery. These are the terms of our agreement with our courier company. All damaged goods will be picked up by our courier company at no charge to you and a replacement order will be sent at no further cost to you. If an item is faulty and requires replacement please call us and we will arrange for the item to be returned to us at our cost. We cannot accept goods for return unless you have contacted us first.

You will receive an invoice for your order by post. Invoices are posted the day after your order is dispatched and payment is due to us within 14 days of receipt of the order. We do not provide monthly statements. If you receive an invoice but your order has not arrived please call us so we can trace your parcel. If your address is RD then please allow another 24 hours after receiving your invoice as RD deliveries can sometimes be delayed due to the handover to the RD courier.
If your account is overdue (not paid within 14 days of invoice) the following will happen:
-
You will be sent a statement with a friendly reminder. Please do not be offended by this as sometimes payments are lost in the post or merely forgotten. We are giving you the chance to make the payment or identify when the payment was made so we can help trace it before you incur any administration costs.
-
If payment is not received or you do not contact us within 7 days to make arrangements for payment, we will send you a final notice and your account will be charged a $10 administration fee.
-
If we receive no satisfactory response to our reminder notices we will refer your acount to a debt collection agency. You will be liable for what you owe us plus all charges made by the agency. This will be no sooner than 28 days from the date of your overdue invoice however once your account is referred to the collection agency the collection charges cannot be reversed even when you pay us.
