Dispatching Your Order:

We aim to dispatch orders on the same day when placed before 2.30pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). Orders placed after that time or on weekends and public holidays will be dispatched on the next business day. Purchases paid by direct credit will be dispatched on the next business day following receipt of cleared payment. If for some reason we cannot meet these time frames due to an item being temporarily out of stock we will contact you as soon as possible.

If your order is required urgently please either email us at info@cakeandkitchen.co.nz or phone us on 07 838 9383 and we will do our best to meet your time frames, we are happy to arrange an urgent courier if required.

Orders are delivered via NZ Post and PBT Couriers who offer a fast and reliable courier service within New Zealand. The service used depends on the destination and size of the parcel. Please note that orders to Waiheke Island, Chatham Islands and Great Barrier Island may be sent NZ Post Tracked depending on the size. 

A signature is required upon delivery unless otherwise specified by you at checkout; you can request to have your parcel left in the letterbox or at your front door in the special instructions box (see Authority to Leave below).

Rural Delivery:

We love our rural customers and don't feel you should be charged extra for being on rural delivery. However please ensure you include rural delivery in your address details so we can ticket your parcel properly - otherwise there may be delays and we may be charged penalties for under ticketing.

Authority to Leave:

All parcels require a signature on delivery, however we can provide an authority to leave without signature if you prefer. Please request this in the Special Instructions field during check-out and include details of where you would like your parcel to be left. Please note that neither Cake & Kitchen or our courier will be responsible for parcels once delivery had been made when an authority to leave has been provided. This includes replacement of or refunds for parcels tampered with, lost or stolen following delivery.
