FAQs

Shipping & Delivery

At Space General, we believe in being transparent with our costs. We use NZ Post & Post Haste for most of our deliveries, and shipping to New Zealand Wide. 

The shipping fee for your order is determined based on the size and weight of the products you are purchasing.

Please note that some products may have additional shipping charges due to their size or weight. The exact shipping fee will be calculated during checkout and will be displayed for your review before you confirm your order.





You can check to see if your order has shipped from Account.

If you have an account with us, you can track the progress of your order by clicking on the relevant order in My Orders under My Account. You can also find the tracking number on this page if your order has been shipped.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email from Space General with a tracking number.

Please note that sometimes it could take up to 24 hours to display the tracking history.

As an NZ-owned shop, every product from Space General is dispatched from our Auckland warehouse. 

Orders placed before 12:30pm are usually sent the same day; orders after are shipped the next business day.

For urgent delivery inquiries, please contact our customer service team via email. We're here to help.

Please note that shipping quotes for bulky or oversized items are based on delivery to main city centres.

If you live in a rural area, extra charges may apply depending on your location and the accessibility of your address. If this applies to your order, once it arrives at the rural courier depot, either our courier partner or our team will be in touch with the next steps.

You’ll have the option to either collect your item from the nearest depot or arrange for door-to-door delivery. Please note that an additional fee may apply for this service.

We use NZ Post & Post Haste as our courier service for the majority of our orders for New Zealand customers. 

NZ Post and Post Haste parcels shipped within the North Island are dispatched via a standard overnight delivery service, while shipments to the South Island typically arrive in 1-2 days. 

Please be aware that deliveries to rural areas may experience an additional 1-2 days in transit.

Delivery times vary depending on a product's stock status and the intended delivery address. For very large orders, we may need to use Mainfreight or Toll, Fliway and Bascik Transport as these orders lie outside of what Post Haste can handle, due to the size/weight limit.


At this time, our shipping services are limited to addresses within New Zealand and we do not offer an international shipping service.

Oders are processed quickly, and currently, our warehouse setup doesn't allow for the provision of a click-and-collect service. 

Please know this measure is a safety precaution to protect everyone from the hazards of active machinery.

Currently, our store operates exclusively online.

We're all about making your shopping experience as enjoyable as possible!  Our warm and welcoming Customer Service team is eager to help with any questions you might have about our products. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us for more details through chat, or email. We're here for you!

Let's put on our detective hats and do a little investigating together!

For our rural customers:

Once a package has been handed over to rural we expect delivery to be completed to your property within 48 hours!

And for our non-rural customers:

  • Please check your order confirmation to make sure the delivery address was perfectly penned at the time of ordering.
  • Have a little adventure searching your property. If you weren't there to greet your delivery, our local driver might have tucked your goods away in a sneaky safe spot, sometimes out of plain sight!
  • Have a chat with your household members to see if they've helpfully moved your package to a safe place.

If you are still not able to locate your package, lets us know and we'll liaise with the couriers on your behalf.

Just a gentle reminder: while we pour our hearts into ensuring your packages travel from us to you smoothly, we can't take on the responsibility for packages that wander off, get lost, are taken, or find themselves in a bit of a pickle after we've followed instructions to leave them at your chosen spot.

At Space General, we want to make sure your shopping experience is smooth and stress-free. That’s why we offer a simple Shipping Insurance Policy to protect your purchases.

What We Cover

We’ll take care of you if your order is:

  • Lost – your package never arrives.
  • Damaged – your product is broken or not usable on arrival.
  • Undelivered – your order is not delivered at all.

What We Don’t Cover

Unfortunately, there are some things outside of our control:

  • Incorrect Address – if we are not informed about an address change.
  • Courier Delays – shipping that takes longer than expected.
  • Minor Cosmetic Damages – small scratches, dents, or packaging issues where the product is still fully functional. While these aren’t covered by insurance, our team will always do our best to help where we can — so please reach out if you’re concerned.

How to File a Claim

If something goes wrong, here’s how to get help:

  • Contact Us via our Contact Form.
  • Share these details with us:
  1. Order number
  2. Tracking number
  3. Tracking status
  4. Case ID (if you have already contacted the courier)

Our team will review your case and work with you to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Helpful Tips

  • Double-check your delivery address before confirming your order.
  • Keep an eye on your tracking updates for real-time information.
  • If you notice a delay, contact the courier first – then let us know with their Case ID.

Space General 30-Day Price Promise 

We know our customers sometimes wonder if prices will drop after they buy — and we don’t want you to worry about that! With Space General’s 30-Day Price Promise, you can shop anytime with complete confidence.

If you buy any product for home use from Space General and that same item drops in price within 30 days of your purchase, we’ll issue you Space General Store Credit for the difference. Your store credit is fully trackable, has no expiry date, and can be used anytime for future purchases. Simple as that!

How It Works

  • Shop online at spacegeneral.co.nz.
  • If the same product (same SKU) is advertised at a lower price on our website within 30 days of your purchase, you’ll receive Space General Store Credit equal to the difference between what you paid and the lower price.

  • Applies to home-use purchases only – business, wholesale, or trade orders are excluded.
  • Excludes price changes caused by genuine pricing errors.
  • Items that have been refunded, exchanged, or credited are excluded.
  • Minimum claim value: $1.
  • Submit your claim online at spacegeneral.co.nz/pages/contact-us within 30 days of your purchase.
  • If a promotion offers a bundle or a free gift, the free gift isn’t part of our 30-day price protection. The price protection only applies to the product with the price difference.
  • Space General reserves the right to determine what qualifies as “home use.”

FAQs

  • What if the price drops after I buy?
    No stress — if the price goes down within 30 days, you’ll receive Space General Store Credit for the difference.

What is Store Credit?

Products & Pre-Orders

It's our goal to bring you the best products at the very best prices! We'd like to be super transparent with you, so there's no confusion about delivery time frames. We've created this handy guide to help you understand where we get our products from, and how long it will take us to get them to your door. 

In-Stock Products

An in-stock product is anything that is on the shelves of our warehouse and ready to send out.  In-stock products ordered will be dispatched on the same or next working day.

Shipping is typically 1-3 business days within NZ however please check our shipping and delivery page for up-to-date information.

Preorders

Pre-orders means you reserve items before they arrive at our warehouse. You'll receive these items once they're in stock.

Please note: You can purchase both in-stock and pre-order items in the same order, and we will send you your in-stock items straight away, with your pre-order items arriving at a later date once they arrive.

Changed your mind about a pre-order? No worries! You have the flexibility to cancel your pre-order at any point before we receive your item in our warehouse. We're here to help make your shopping experience as convenient as possible.

Preorder FAQS

What is the Estimated Dispatch Date?

The Estimated Dispatch Date is when we expect to dispatch your order from our warehouse in Auckland. This information is in every Pre-Order product page inside the Add To Cart button.

How does the payment Work?

Preorder items must be paid entirely at the time of purchase. By choosing to make a preorder purchase, you are securing your product at the lowest possible price.

Can I cancel a preorder?

Absolutely! At any point before your preorder has been shipped, we can cancel and refund your preorder. 

Can I preorder more than one item at a time?

You sure can! Just be aware that your order won't be shipped until all items have arrived at the warehouse. So if you preorder a product that's arriving in October and another item that's not arriving until November, you'll have to wait until November for your whole order.

Why has the price changed?

We may update pricing to reflect new information or to maintain our competitive pricing.  - if the price you purchased a pre-order products for is higher than the price at release, we will refund you the difference.

We hold thousands of products in our Auckland warehouse. You will be able to see our inventory level on each product page!

For the items that are in stock, we usually ship orders on the same day for orders placed before 12:30 pm.

If your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, we will promptly dispatch the in-stock items. The pre-ordered items will be shipped as soon as they become available. 

If your order includes multiple pre-order items with different ETAs, we will hold your entire order until all the pre-order items are in stock.
