Shipping policy

Thank you for choosing RALPH COLERIDGE. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, our online store focuses on retailing premium fresh seafood and chilled groceries. We abide by strict order handling protocols and adopt insulated cold-chain packaging to preserve food freshness, striving to deliver all orders safely and meet expected logistics schedules.
Order Processing Time
We finalize order verification, commodity inspection and sealed cold packaging within 1 to 3 business days after successful payment and order confirmation. Order processing services will be suspended on New Zealand weekends and national public holidays. During busy promotional cycles and order surges, order preparation may be delayed slightly. We will send timely email alerts to customers once obvious delivery delays occur.
Shipping Rates and Delivery Estimates
Shipping fees are calculated based on package weight, overall size and delivery destination. The exact logistics cost will be automatically calculated and displayed on the checkout page before payment confirmation. All fresh food orders will be delivered via priority courier cold service, with an estimated delivery period of 1 to 3 business days, subject to actual logistics status. The stated delivery time is for reference only. Actual arrival time may be affected by logistics provider operational failures, extreme weather, regional traffic restrictions and official holidays. Rural areas may require extra transit time.
Shipment Confirmation and Order Tracking
Once our warehouse completes parcel handover to authorized logistics partners, you will receive an official shipment confirmation email including dedicated tracking codes and logistics inquiry entrances.
Due to cross-system data synchronization delays, parcel tracking information will be updated and accessible for query within 24 hours after shipment. If tracking data cannot be loaded normally, customers may contact our support team for manual parcel tracing.
Incorrect Address Disclaimer
Customers shall fill in accurate, complete and valid recipient addresses, postal codes and contact numbers during checkout, and double-check all delivery information before submitting orders.
RALPH COLERIDGE shall not bear any liability for misdelivery, delivery failure or parcel loss caused by false or incomplete information provided by buyers. If parcels are returned to our warehouse due to address errors, buyers need to bear all additional reshipping fees independently.
Lost or Damaged Packages
If your fresh food parcel is missing or untraceable during transit, please submit a loss investigation request to our customer service within 3 days after the scheduled delivery date.
Long-distance transportation may cause temperature fluctuation and packaging rupture to fresh products. If you receive damaged or spoiled goods, please retain the original outer packaging and take clear evidentiary photos within 24 hours after receiving parcels. Our team will conduct comprehensive verification and deliver targeted solutions as soon as possible.
Fresh Product Storage Notice
All fresh and frozen goods require proper cold storage immediately upon receipt. Customers shall store products following refrigeration or freezing prompts. We reject after-sales claims for spoilage caused by improper storage, delayed collection or failure to place items into cold storage after delivery.
Domestic Shipping Notice
We provide domestic cold-chain shipping services for all fresh food merchandise within New Zealand. Fresh products are temperature-sensitive items, and we use insulated boxes with ice packs to maintain low temperature during transportation. We will not be responsible for parcel deterioration arising from buyers' failure to receive goods in time after courier arrival.
