During the checkout process, shipping costs are calculated based on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the items in your order. We strive to provide accurate and fair shipping rates for our customers. However, if you have any questions or if something doesn't seem right with the calculated rate, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you and can explore alternate quotation systems if needed to ensure the shipping cost is properly assessed.

WAREHOUSE BUSINESS HOURS

Our warehouse operates during the following business hours: Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm ACST/ADST. We kindly ask for your understanding and allow 1-3 business days for order processing within this timeframe.

To provide you with the most affordable and secure shipping options, we collaborate with a variety of reputable freight and courier services. Our trusted network includes Australia Post, Couriers Please, Aramex, TNT, Border Express, Toll, Allied Express, and other reliable carriers.

UNDELIVERABLE ORDERS

If the cause of the return is due to an error in the address provided, you will be responsible for covering the additional shipping costs for the return and reshipment of the goods.

We understand that mistakes can happen, and we are committed to working with you to ensure successful delivery. In some cases, if a package is returned after a second attempted delivery, we may kindly request that you provide an alternate shipping address to facilitate a smooth and efficient shipment.

DELAYS & STOLEN ITEMS

While we strive to provide efficient and timely delivery, please be aware that Rub & Grub cannot be held responsible for unforeseen delays caused by freight or courier services. Additionally, once items have been scanned and delivered to the customer's address, we cannot assume liability for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.

It is essential for customers to promptly address any concerns regarding missing, stolen, or damaged items by contacting the relevant freight or courier service. We recommend initiating a claim or inquiry with them directly. We will gladly assist you in providing any necessary information or documentation to support your claim.

At Rub & Grub, we value your satisfaction and will do our best to support you throughout the delivery process. However, it is important to note that once items have been delivered and scanned, the responsibility for any subsequent issues lies with the customer and the respective freight or courier service.

RETURNS & REFUNDS

We understand that sometimes issues may arise with your order, and we strive to provide the best possible resolution for our customers. Please take note of our returns policy outlined below:

  1. Change of Mind Returns: Unfortunately, we do not accept returns for change of mind or if you simply no longer want the product. However, if your item is damaged, faulty, or does not meet our quality standards, please refer to the next section.

  2. Damaged, Faulty, or Non-Standard Items: If you receive an item that is damaged, faulty, or does not meet our quality standards, we are more than happy to offer a refund or replacement.

PO BOX DELIVERIES

For orders being delivered to a PO Box, we kindly request that you collect your package within 1-3 days of delivery. Failure to do so may compromise the integrity of the items due to the storage conditions. Regrettably, we cannot provide replacements for any compromised items resulting from inefficient storage.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Currently, we offer international shipping exclusively to New Zealand. However, we are excited to announce that we will soon expand our shipping services to include the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions.

Please note that the shipping cost does not cover customs duties or taxes applicable in the importing country. It is the buyer's responsibility to conduct thorough research and fulfill any customs duties and taxes that may be required in their own country.

Upon delivery, any import duties, taxes, or brokerage fees due are the sole responsibility of the recipient. Please be aware that packing slips for international shipments cannot be labeled as "gifts" or have altered prices.
