Thank you for supporting our artisan boutique. Please review our shipping timeframes and return conditions before placing your order.

Shipping Within New Zealand

  • Courier Service: We ship nationwide using tracked courier services.

  • Processing Time: Standard orders are dispatched within 2–4 business days.

  • Candle Refill Turnaround: Refill orders take 5–7 business days to process once we receive your empty jar.

  • Local Drop-off: You may drop off your empty refill jars to our home office by prior arrangement.

Shipping to Australia

  • Eligible Products: All retail items (candles, gypsum cement items, and Kawakawa Balm) can be shipped to Australia.

  • Eligible products: All boutique items, including our handcrafted candles and individual personal-use kawakawa balms.

  • Tracking: Fully tracked from dispatch to delivery. A tracking number will be automatically emailed to you the moment your package leaves our studio.

  • Customs & Duties: International orders may be subject to local import taxes, customs duties, or fees levied by the destination country. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

Returns & Exchanges

  • Artisan Items: Because our products are handmade, we do not offer refunds for minor aesthetic variations or change of mind.

  • Kawakawa Balm: Due to hygiene standards, all balm sales are final. We’re unable to accept returns for skin sensitivities or allergies.

  • Damaged Items: If your order arrives broken or damaged by the courier, please email us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the packaging and item. We will arrange a replacement or refund immediately.

  • Refill Transit Damage: If an empty jar breaks in transit to us, the customer is responsible. We will offer a plain jar alternative or a store discount for the refill value, but shipping remains at the customer's expense.
