Dispatch and Delivery

Standard Post: 2-7 business days

Our products are sourced and dispatched from various locations nationwide and if not available in New Zealand, sourced and dispatched in Australia.

Please note that during sale periods, dispatch delays of up to 3 days beyond normal dispatch times can occur. Customers will receive notifications regarding any such delays.

While we make effort to ensure a timely delivery, it's important to recognise that unexpected events like strikes or floods may lead to delivery delays. Dispatch delays might also arise due to the need for payment or address verification or correction prior to dispatch.

Please be aware that during sale periods, dispatch delays of up to 3 days beyond our standard dispatch times can occur. Customers will receive notifications regarding any such delays.

If you have an order with multiple items, these items may only be available for dispatch from different locations. If this is the case, your order will be split into multiple orders, and will be delivered separately under different tracking numbers. Each time your order is split, you will receive an email notification with the new order details. There will not be any additional shipping charges applied to split orders.

To track your order, please log in to your account or refer to the shipping confirmation email. Access the tracking URL link provided.

New Zealand Post Tracking

In cases where no one is available to sign for the delivery, orders will be left in a secure location. If this is not possible, a calling card will be placed in your mailbox, directing you to the nearest New Zealand Post location for collection. You have the option to modify your delivery method on the New Zealand Post website once tracking details for your order are available.

If you experience challenges with the delivery of your parcel, such as non-arrival, damaged items, delivery to an incorrect address, or items left in an unsafe location, please consult the Delivery Help Page for guidance on addressing these concerns.

Address Unattended at Time of Delivery

For shipments without 'Safe Drop' selected, parcels will be forwarded to the nearest post office for collection within 7 business days before being returned to the sender.

Pre-ordering allows you to reserve and secure your desired products before they become officially available for general purchase. Before you place a pre-order, it's important to understand the key details about the pre-order process and the terms associated with it.

Estimated Availability Dates

The dates provided for the availability of pre-ordered items are estimations and should be treated as such. These dates are subject to change based on various factors, including production timelines, shipping delays, and unforeseen circumstances. While we strive to provide accurate estimates, please note that these dates are not guaranteed.

Unforeseen Circumstances

In the event that delivery is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, Gorman cannot be held accountable for these delays. We understand that unexpected situations can arise, impacting the production and delivery process.

Grace Period for Delivery

To account for any potential delays that may occur, we recommend allowing an additional grace period of 10 business days beyond the estimated delivery date and standard shipping time. This will help ensure that you receive your pre-ordered items without unnecessary stress or disappointment.

Exclusion from Promotional Activities

Please be aware that pre-ordered items are excluded from ongoing promotional activities. This includes, but is not limited to, sales events, discounts, and spend & save offers that may be applicable to regularly available products. Pre-order items are typically considered separate from our regular inventory and are not eligible for these promotions.

Placing a Pre-Order

When you choose to pre-order an item from Gorman, you're reserving your desired product in advance. This allows you to secure your purchase without the risk of the item selling out before its official release. While pre-ordering, make sure to review the estimated availability dates and any associated terms to ensure that you are comfortable with the process.

Communication and Updates

Throughout the pre-order process, we will strive to keep you informed about any changes to estimated availability dates or other important updates. You may receive emails or notifications regarding the status of your pre-order, and our customer support team is available to assist you with any questions you may have.

Note: Please see above 'Christmas Returns Policy' for Christmas-specific returns deadline extension.
