Shipping policy

Thank you for choosing NOAH CHRISTOPHER WALSH. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, our online store focuses on retailing premium fresh and frozen grocery food products. We abide by strict cold‑chain order‑handling protocols and adopt insulated temperature‑controlled packaging to preserve fresh goods, striving to deliver all orders safely and meet expected logistics schedules.
Order Processing Time
We finalize order verification, commodity inspection and cold‑resistant sealed 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 perishable priority shipping service, with an estimated delivery period of 1‑3 business days for urban zones, while rural areas may take up to 4 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, customs inspections, extreme weather, regional traffic restrictions and official holidays. Rural delivery cannot guarantee overnight cold‑chain effect and shall be at the customer’s own risk.
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 to 48 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. NOAH CHRISTOPHER WALSH 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. We do not support delivery to PO box addresses.
Lost or Damaged & Spoiled Food Packages
If your fresh food parcel is missing or untraceable during transit, please submit a loss investigation request to our customer service within 48 hours after the scheduled delivery date. Cold‑chain transportation may cause packaging rupture or temperature abnormality for fresh and frozen products. If you receive deteriorated or damaged 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. Claims submitted beyond the time limit will not be accepted.
Fresh Food Receipt and Storage Notice
All fresh and frozen food is packed with insulated boxes and ice packs to maintain low temperature in transit. Customers are suggested to receive and store goods promptly upon parcel arrival. Please place frozen items into freezer and chilled goods into refrigerator timely. We reject after‑sales claims for food spoilage caused by delayed receipt, improper storage or man‑made mishandling after delivery.
International Shipping and Customs Notice
We provide global cross‑border shipping services for all fresh food merchandise. Overseas shipments may generate import tariffs, customs clearance handling fees and other statutory charges required by destination countries. All customs‑related expenses are borne by order recipients, and such fees are not included in product prices and settled shipping costs. We will not be responsible for parcel detention, customs rejection and relevant losses arising from buyers' non‑compliance with local food import declaration and biosecurity regulations. Some fresh food categories may be prohibited from importing by certain regions.
