Are there any size restrictions on parcels that can be sent to a Countdown supermarket for me to pick up?
Yes, Parcel Collection and Drop-Off service at Countdown supermarkets have different size and weight limits to some of standard NZ Post locations.
The parcel limits for those sites are:
maximum weight of 15kg dimensions of no more than 50cm x 40cm x 30cm (max 2 bags of diapers!). If a parcel sent to a Parcel Collection and Drop-Off point at a Countdown exceeds those dimensions, the parcel will be returned to the depot and we will contact you to make alternative delivery arrangements.
To ensure your privacy all orders will be delivered in neutral packaging, with an inconspicuous sender name (I.C. Trading). There is no indication of the contents.
We automatically choose the most economic and affordable shipping option, depending on the volume of the order and your address. Moreover we subsidy most of the freight options to fix the costs to a maximum limit. Please ask us for any special shipping requests before you finalize your order.
The delivery time for goods in stock are usually between 1-3 days, depending on your address in New Zealand. For Australia we can only ship using standard non-tracked post with typical transfer times of 10-14 days.
If for unforeseeable reasons a product is out-of-stock although our system has shown stock, we will inform you immediately with the option either to get a refund or keep it on back-order.
