South Island Delivery
For regular products, shipping is calculated at checkout.
Fresh and Frozen pet food is shipped in a poly bin (Freight and poly bin cost are included in the product retail price). Unfortunately due to the nature of fresh and frozen products, we can't deliver these to rural addresses as delayed shipping times can affect the quality of the product. If you live rurally and would like to purchase our fresh or frozen pet food, please email us at office@otagopetfoods.co.nz and we can discuss other options.
All of our other products are available to be shipped to rural addresses.
Orders are sent via New Zealand Couriers or Post Haste
Our delivery timeframe of 1-3 working days for urban delivery and 3-5 working days for rural delivery is from the date that the order has been picked up by the courier, not from the time the order was placed. Once the order has left our premises, we have no control over the delivery time.
If for any reason we do not have a product in stock you will be contacted as soon as possible to advise you of any delay in delivering the product.
