How will my package be shipped, and what does it cost?

All orders are shipped airmail.

We generally charge a flat fee per order, assuming order weight is 1kg or less:

  • Within New Zealand – NZD$6.90 (No extra charge for rural delivery). Free shipping for orders over $90.
  • To Australia – NZD$25.00
  • Internationally - NZD$45.00* (*untracked)

Due to weight and customs restrictions for packages weighing over 1kg, we are unable to guarantee delivery to destinations outside New Zealand at the shipping price shown. In these instances, we will either refund the purchase or contact the customer to make alternate arrangements.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we are able to process orders that are shipped to destinations outside of New Zealand. We are unable to ship to Africa, South America, Romania, Israel, Indonesia and Singapore. International orders are sent untracked and at the purchaser's risk.

By placing an order with Weleda, you acknowledge and agree to these international shipping terms and conditions. Please review and understand these terms before finalising your order:

  • Customs Duties and Fees: The receiver (consignee) is responsible for any customs duties, taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by customs authorities or regulatory bodies at the destination. These charges are separate from Weleda's shipping charges.
  • Liability for Loss or Damage: Weleda is not liable for claims regarding items not received or destroyed during transit. Any loss or damage after shipment leaves our possession must be addressed with the carrier and local customs authorities.
  • Return Shipping Costs: If a shipment is returned due to the consignee's refusal to pay customs duties or taxes, the consignee will be responsible for any return shipping costs incurred.
  • No Refunds for Unpaid Customs Fees: Weleda will not issue refunds for goods not received if the consignee fails to pay the required customs fees or taxes. The consignee must ensure compliance with all customs regulations and pay any necessary fees.
  • Customs Delays and Inspections: Weleda does not accept liability for delays, non-delivery, or damage caused by customs inspections or actions taken by customs authorities.
