After 8 years of trading, we have now closed. We have had fun over the years, sourcing interesting, fairly-produced goodies, and bringing them to New Zealand for you to share. We have enjoyed being able to support artisans and their families in developing countries, together with our NZ charity partners.
However, Covid has changed things for everyone, and we now find we are unable to continue trading. In the last 2 years it has been difficult to purchase goods of acceptable quality and receive them in a timely manner, difficult (near impossible during lockdowns) to arrange shipping and manage the huge price increases, just to get goods to NZ.

We appreciate your support of Loyal. The following are our website policies to ensure that your online visit to our website is secure, efficient and respects your privacy.

Terms of Supply

When we receive an order from you, we will confirm our acceptance via email that we have received and will process the order.

Our software will not enable a purchase if product is out of stock, however, in the unlikely event that we are not able to supply the products , we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible after we become aware of this, in which case you may cancel the order (or any part of it) and you will receive a refund (including the applicable delivery charges) in respect of those products which will not be delivered (if any).

Loyal will not be liable to any person if we decline to fulfil, or are unable to fulfil an order.

Delivery

Delivery charges are calculated on checkout before you complete your purchase.  The delivery charges are based on NZ Post Parcel service costs for delivery within NZ.  Because we give all the profit from our products to our customers by way of  Loyal dollars, we cannot offer free freight when your order reaches a certain value.

The checkout software will calculate the parcel size and select the lowest price delivery options which we support taking into account the parcel size and your address Post code.  For most parcels it will offer you two options; untracked service and a tracked service 

Untracked

The Untracked service is standard option for standard sized parcels.  NZ Post will not deliver untracked parcels to a business that does not receive a post service.

Tracked

The Tracked service is an optional extra for standard sized parcels.  Tracking means you can track the progress of your parcel using the unique barcode. Every time your parcel is scanned, the parcel status will update until it has been delivered.  NZ Post will deliver tracked parcels to a business that does not receive a post service.

Oversized parcels

Oversized parcels are priced based on dimensional weight and destination.  Loyal is based in Auckland so Auckland deliveries are the cheapest using the across town service.  North Island is more expensive and the South Island more expensive again (sorry). Oversized parcels are always tracked.

In the unlikely event that an additional delivery fee is required for extra large or heavy items, we will advise you prior to processing your order, in which case you may cancel the order (or any part of it) prior to delivery and receive a refund (including the applicable delivery charges) in respect of the cancelled order.

Deliveries are made by NZ Post Parcel Service throughout New Zealand.  Please allow up to 5 working days.

Deliveries to Australia are also available in the checkout. This service is provided by NZ Post and Australian Post with a target delivery of 3 - 10 days.

Deliveries to other countries is available on request using contact us.

 

 

Recycling

To keep costs to a minimum and help protect the environment, Loyal may use clean recycled packaging for your parcel.

While property in the products remains with us, we have the irrevocable right to enter your premises where the goods are located and take possession of and remove the goods. Until ownership passes, you hold the products as bailee for Loyal.

Warranties and Limitation of Liability

Our liability for any claim, damages, loss or expense related to the supply by us of goods or services is limited to the cost paid by you for the goods or services except where statute expressly requires otherwise.
