Our products have an extensive description, meal ideas, weight/measurement of product and a full ingredients list. If you suffer from food allergies, it is your responsibility to check the ingredients list.

We reserve the right to make changes to the content on this site at any time and without notice.

We want you to have a safe and secure shopping experience online. All payments via our sites are processed using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol, whereby sensitive information is encrypted to protect your privacy.

Ordering

An order made via our website is an offer to purchase product/s and/or services. When we receive a valid order from you, we will acknowledge by email that we have received your order and are processing your order.

We will take payment from you when we accept your order.

Cancellation

Once your order is confirmed we are unable to change or cancel any aspects of it. Please carefully check your order details before completing payment.

Delivery

Delivery of products are made via Go Sweet Spot courier providers. We currently ship nationwide to New Zealand. Please ensure the delivery address and receiver’s name for your order is accurate and complete (including any business name if shipping to a work address) as we may be unable to change these details once the order has been placed. We will not take responsibility for any orders that go missing due to incorrect delivery information provided by you. Delivery to rural addresses may take longer in some areas. Delivery will be deemed to have been made when the goods arrive at the delivery point agreed with you.

You must notify us within 7 days of the dispatch date if you have not received an item.

Damaged/Faulty Items

We take every care when packing your order as our products are fragile. Your order will be packaged in layers of cardboard bubblewrap and corrugated cardboard to protect it on its journey. We then rely on a third party courier to deliver your order in the same condition it left our warehouse. If your order is damaged in transit, please contact us immediately. Please email us with photographic evidence and provide full details of condition/damage. Please do NOT dispose of any items until advised to by us as we are often required to return these to the courier for inspection. While this is most of the time out of our control, we do take every measure to make these situations right with the customer.

Returns

Products can be returned within 14 days of receipt. The item must be in its original packaging and be unopened and undamaged. You will need to pay for the shipping costs to return your items to us. Please send returns to The Friendly Food Co, The Food Factory, 11 Findlay Place, Stoke, Nelson, 7011.
If you are not satisfied with our product or service please contact us via email [email protected].
