IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Once your order is placed, it is sent to the warehouse to dispatch, in most cases the same day. If you have made an error in your order, or incorrectly entered your address, and your order can be stopped from being scanned into the courier network we will do this if possible. However once it has left our warehouse, it is your responsibility to communicate with the courier company via the track and trace details provided, or to return the order to us if you do not want to receive it.

It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure the address details for delivery are correct when the order is placed. Freight or additional charges may be applied if the order needs to be redirected or delivered to an alternative address. In some cases an undelivered order may be returned to us by the courier company if the receiver has not responded to requests for further information, in which case we may cancel and refund the original purchase or charge a delivery fee if it is required to be sent to another address different to the original order.

Shipping & Delivery

Once your order leaves our warehouse and is scanned into the New Zealand Couriers network you will be sent track and trace details via email. Transit delays at busy times of year should be expected.

You can use these track and trace details to keep an eye on your order, and when it will be delivered.

All of our parcels have authority to leave on them and will be left unless the Courier feels that it is unsafe to do so. If you do not want your parcel left or you have specific delivery instructions your would like included please let us know when placing your order.

If you are concerned about its delivery, please contact New Zealand Couriers directly via the Query Delivery button on your track and trace details.

When will my order be delivered?

PLEASE NOTE: if you have run out of cat or dog food, we cannot guarantee to deliver by next dinner time. We do not offer a same day or next day service.

Once your order leaves the warehouse, it may be up to 5 days before it is delivered by the courier, especially if rural delivery. If you need to query your delivery once you have the track and trace details, please follow the information on the New Zealand Couriers website.

If you do not have your track and trace information yet, please contact the customer service team vial email: askus@onlinevetstore.co.nz

In some cases, we may need to order stock and this may add a few more days to the expected delivery timeframe. If this happens, we will send you an email to notify you of this delay.

If you order contains multiple items, you may receive multiple deliveries to complete your order.

New Zealand Couriers information

* We do not offer a same day or next day service. Unfortunately delivery timeframes can be guaranteed due to uncontrollable transit interruptions.
