General Information
We deliver to all urban locations throughout New Zealand.
Our fruit is triple checked for quality; we have strict quality assurance control.
With sophisticated and established business processes we can ensure delivery of premium export quality cherries and apples.
FreshFruit works closely with CourierPost to ensure overnight delivery is completed on or as close to your preferred delivery date as possible. Since we do not deliver or dispatch during weekends, preferred delivery dates are from Tuesday to Friday.
If the recipient is not at home on a selected preferred delivery date or has provided an invalid address, FreshFruit cannot accept responsibility. We will always do our best with what is within our control.
Delivery is completed by 11am to 90% of urban locations. Should your delivery not be completed by 11am, please follow up on the track and trace information provided by calling the courier directly. Please note that prior to Christmas, couriers are extremely busy and delivery may not be until the afternoon.
Courier companies accept no responsibility for rural delivery, therefore, all orders to an RD address is at the customer's risk. An alternative urban address is preferred.
Ordering
Please attempt to use our address validation service on our order form - should you avoid this process we will not receive delivery details and as a result your item will not be delivered. It is your responsibility to check all details on your order confirmation including your delivery details/information - should an address not be available or invalid please contact us immediately so we can update your address supplied.
Should you not receive an order confirmation email the moment you have completed your order online please contact us by emailing info@freshfruit.co.nz as we need to ensure you have used the correct email address. This is important as you will receive order confirmation, dispatch confirmation, track and trace via courier and updates to your email address (common mistakes are .con instead of .com). Please take care when typing your email address.
This will ensure delivery details are complete and accurate.
