ORDERING

By saving your details for next time, you can make it easier to reorder in future. So we give you the option to register and create an account.

Very occasionally, if the ordering technology fails us or we make a genuine mistake, your order may be unsuccessful. While we can’t be held liable for this, we’ll bend over backwards to sort it out for you quick smart.

Once your order has been accepted, you pay the total at the end of the checkout process.  We only accept credit or debit cards, PayPal, WePay in the name of the customer placing the order. Once you’ve placed an order, you’ll get a confirmation email within 24 hours, and then another one within a further 24 hours, once your order has been dispatched, so you can track your parcel. 

AVAILABILITY

Very rarely, we might run out of the product you want, between you ordering and us despatching. If that happens, we’ll be in touch to offer an alternative product or a refund.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

We accept Visa, MasterCard and Paypal

PRICES

The prices on our website are in New Zealand dollars and include GST (that’s goods and services tax).

CANCELLING ORDERS AND RETURNS

We believe you have the right to choose between a refund, exchange or a credit note if our goods are faulty, have been wrongly described, are different from the sample shown to you or don’t do what they’re supposed to.

We stand behind our products and their quality so if you’re less than thrilled about the honey you have bought from us, please contact us within 30 days of purchase via email: kiaora@whenuahoney.co.nz.  We’ll happily refund the price once you have returned the honey as set out below.

If you are returning your order to us, please repack it safely and post it back within 30 days of receiving it. And please include a note to tell us why you’re sending it back. We’ll refund you within 7 days of receiving it. If you’re cancelling your order because you’ve changed your mind, you’ll need to pay the costs of returning the honey to us (if they’ve already been dispatched). If the products you receive are damaged or faulty or do not match the description, you can choose an exchange or a full refund, once we’ve received the returned products, and we’ll pay any additional postage costs.

DAMAGED PARCELS

Please forgive us if you receive a damaged parcel or it doesn’t match the description of what you ordered. We’ll also happily refund or replace your item(s), and pick up the tab for the return courier or mail charges.

Below are some good reasons for returning your order. Please help us by emailing kiaora@whenuahoney.co.nz with a snapshot of the issue.

  • Glass jar damaged or broken on arrival
  • Honey does not meet your expectations – a quality issue with the product
  • We’ve got it wrong and your product differs from the order you placed
