Shipping Policy
Processing time
All orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email.
Your order should arrive within 5 to 7 business days and deliveries are carried out by New Zealand Post. After your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you’ll receive an email with your tracking information.
If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, or when external circumstances beyond our control (e.g covid-19) cause delays in delivery times, shipments may be delayed. If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, we will contact you via email or alert you via our website before placing the order.
Do I have to pay for shipping?
No, all orders within New Zealand include free shipping and have a prepaid return shipping label attached to the back of the box. Once the Zero Waste Box is full or weighs 25kg all you need to do is tape the inner bag shut (if there is one inside) and seal the top of the box shut so nothing falls out. Next, return it to your nearest post office or book in a pickup with Courier Post.
To arrange a pick up visit Courier Post and fill out the form using the tracking number on the pre-paid shipping label on the back of your box. For assistance please call Courier Post on 0800 268 743 or visit their website. Please ensure prior to shipping your box is not over full and bursting at the joints or overweight (25kg max.) otherwise additional cost will apply.
How do I check the status of my order?
When your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification from us which will include a tracking number you can use to check its status. Please allow 48 hours for the tracking information to become available.
If you haven’t received your order within 21 days of receiving your shipping confirmation email, please contact us at customersupport@terracycle.com.au with your name and order number, and we will look into it for you.
