Delivery timeframes are from the date that the order has been picked up by the courier, not from the time the order was placed. Please allow 3 business days for your order to be processed before being picked up by the courier. Once the order has left our premises, we have no control over the delivery time.
A signature is required on delivery for New Zealand orders, unless you specify otherwise in the delivery notes field during checkout, or arrange an Authority to Leave (ATL) direct with NZ Couriers. In cases where the parcel is not left because not signature was unable to be obtained, please contact NZ Couriers for redelivery or pick up.
Please note, that once you authorise the parcel to be left without a signature (either in the check out process or with NZ Couriers) the parcel is then no longer the liability of Unichem Browns Bay or NZ Couriers once it has been delivered. We highly recommend, wherever possible to have a signature required.
