The Penguin Lessons - Tom Michell
Our freight rates are calculated, depending on the size of the item/s you have in your order. The rates apply for the largest item in your order.
For Example: If you make the purchase of 3x beanies and 1x snowboard, as a snowboard is a largest item within the order, the large item shipping rate is applied. All smaller items are therefore freight-free. We also cap the freight costs at $15/$20 (within NZ) and cover any additional costs internally.
Size | South Island NZ | North Island NZ | Australia | Other |
Small | NZ$5 | NZ$5 | NZ$12 | $18 |
Medium | NZ$9 | NZ$9 | NZ$23 | $35 |
Large | NZ$15 | NZ$20 | NZ$100 | Please email |
As a general rule, orders will be dispatched from our Queenstown store, on the next business day after payment is received.
