FAQs

Orders & Shipping

Unfortunately, we're unable to change or update orders once they have been placed. When an order is submitted, it's immediately sent to our logistics team in another location, who then pick the orders and dispatch them promptly to get your bars to you as quickly as possible. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our Miracle Workers via hello@ethique.com.

If you've entered an incorrect shipping address, please contact us at hello@ethique.com as soon as possible. Our warehouse teams work quickly to process and ship your order, and once an order has been shipped, we're unable to update the address.

Orders are shipped in home-compostable cardboard boxes with paper tape, and paper 'bubble wrap' which you can repurpose, recycle, or pop in your home compost or garden to break down. The shipping labels are not home compostable. Please check with your local governing body for the appropriate way to dispose or recycle these items.

Tracked courier (urban and rural) is $4 NZD, and orders over $50 NZD (excluding gift vouchers) receive free shipping! The order value for free shipping is the cart price after voucher codes/discounts are applied.

We ship in Aotearoa (New Zealand) via ethique.co.nz. To ship to Australia visit ethique.com.au, for the UK visit ethique.co.uk and for the US and Canada visit ethique.com.

Orders placed on ethique.co.nz are shipped from our Auckland based warehouse.

Our standard processing time is 2 business days, however during busy promotional periods this can take longer. Our warehouse team takes a break from picking & packing orders on the weekend, so orders placed after 9am Friday may not start processing until the following Monday.

Once picked up by NZ Post, parcels will be delivered within 1-2 business days. Rural deliveries may take an additional 1-2 days. Learn more about any NZ Post delays, disruptions and service updates affecting domestic deliveries here.
