**COURIER INFORMATION RE PERISABLE ITEMS OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS**
Due to the current warm conditions, we strongly advise against ordering perishables for delivery to areas outside of metropolitan Auckland, using our usual courier service.
If you can't wait for your cheese (which we understand!), we can arrange a chilled delivery service.
This costs from $15.53 (North Island) to $31.63 (Lower South Island) per box, and delivery will need to be to a business address within the commercial centre of your nearest town/city.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or to take advantage of our chilled freight service on (09) 529 0157.
Please be aware if you choose to use our usual unrefrigerated service for perishables, this will be at your own risk.
