Unless specifically requested, NZ Post does not deliver on Saturdays.

Some examples:

If you need a gift delivered to Auckland or Christchurch for Wednesday it needs to be ordered Tuesday 2PM at the latest for a chance to arrive the next day.
Deliveries for Saturday must be ordered by Friday 2PM at the latest and choose the Saturday shipping option during checkout.
Any gift deliveries requested for Monday must also be ordered by Friday 2PM to arrive just after the weekend.

Please note that this delivery schedule is just a guideline based on our experience of sending thousands of gift boxes across the country. We do not have any control over external factors from couriers causing delays, e.g. during peak times or weather events disrupting NZ Post's courier network.

Tips to increase the likelihood of successful delivery:

The earlier you order the better. Please make sure you leave a note during checkout mentioning the desired delivery date.
You will receive an email with tracking details informing you when a parcel is out for delivery. Give the recipient a heads-up that something is coming their way.
Gifts with alcohol have an R18 sticker and must be signed for by a person over 18.
Consider sending the parcel to the recipient's workplace if they're not working from home.

We will try our best to help you get your parcel delivered on time. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Kate B.

Absolutely amazing and personal service, went out of their way to ensure a gift for my friend in hospital reached her despite her being suddenly moved from South to North island after dispatch. My friend was overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the gifts in her 'Get well care package' and by their presentation and local origin. We love local enabled me to send a gift of love from the UK to NZ and couldn't have been more attentive and caring in their willingness to go the extra mile. - 23/01/2025

I was desperately looking for a very last minute Christmas gift for my nephew who is over in NZ working from UK. Trying to find a gift that could be delivered in time and reasonable cost was difficult until I found we love local! The parcel was dispatched and delivered super fast. I was also kept up to date with delivery. Even better all locally sourced! Thank you. Highly recommended! - 19/01/2025
