Shipping Costs:
Click & Collect – Free of charge.
Within New Zealand – $12
Internationally – This ranges per product and is calculated at checkout. Taonga is precious cargo to deliver and we take care in arranging the correct packaging and insurance to make sure your taonga arrives safely, therefore this increases the price of shipping for larger taonga.
International orders may be subject to import duties, tariffs, taxes, customs clearance charges, brokerage fees, disbursement fees, storage fees, return freight, redelivery costs, and any other charges imposed by the destination country, carrier, customs broker, or other authority. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping price unless expressly stated otherwise, and are the responsibility of the purchaser and/or recipient.
If an international shipment is refused, delayed in customs, unclaimed, redirected, returned, held for collection, or requires reconsignment after dispatch, any resulting costs are also the responsibility of the purchaser and/or recipient. If any such costs are charged back to us as shipper, we reserve the right to recover those costs from the purchaser and/or deduct them from any refund, where applicable.
Please contact us directly at ahua@nzmaci.com if you would like to arrange a return of your taonga within 30 days of the purchase.
