For all Centre and Support Office orders, please select "Shipping added to invoice".
For Staff Self-Service orders, you can choose either immediate shipment at your own cost or consolidate your order with your next centre order. Please check with your manager before selecting the consolidation option.
Orders are dispatched twice daily from our Auckland warehouse and are typically delivered within 2–5 working days via tracked courier.
Please note that while we aim to maintain strong stock availability, occasional supplier replenishment timeframes may result in extended dispatch times for some items. In these instances, delivery may take up to 10 working days, and we will keep you informed of any significant delays.
Items outside of the standard uniform range, including alternative garment options and staff self-purchase items, are supplied to order and are typically dispatched within 7 working days of your order being placed.
