Shipping policy

Thank you for choosing SIMON VICKERS. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, our online store focuses on retailing premium fresh seafood and chilled gourmet produce. We abide by strict food safety and order‑handling protocols and adopt professional insulated cold‑chain packaging to preserve freshness of goods, striving to deliver all orders safely and meet expected logistics schedules.
Order Processing Time
We finalize order verification, commodity inspection and sealed cold 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 professional cold‑chain shipping service, and the estimated delivery period is for reference only, subject to actual logistics status. The stated delivery time is not guaranteed. Actual arrival time may be affected by logistics provider operational failures, cross‑border customs inspections, extreme weather, regional traffic restrictions and official holidays.
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 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. SIMON VICKERS 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.
Lost or Spoiled Packages
If your fresh food parcel is missing or untraceable during international transit, please submit a loss investigation request to our customer service within a reasonable period after the scheduled delivery date. Long‑distance cold‑chain transportation may lead to temperature fluctuation and spoilage of fresh products. If you receive deteriorated 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.
Fresh Food Storage and Usage Notice
Each batch of fresh seafood and chilled produce comes with recommended cold storage guidelines. Customers shall refrigerate or freeze items immediately after arrival and follow storage prompts. We reject after‑sales claims for spoilage, discoloration and deterioration caused by improper preservation, prolonged room‑temperature placement and mishandling after parcel handover.
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 regulations.
