Shipping policy

SmartPlay Audio runs this website and store, along with all related content features, tools products, and services, just to help you get a smoother shopping vibe. We use Shopify to run and deliver these Services. This Shipping Policy spells out how we handle shipping delivery,and stuff that goes along with it, when you buy from us. If there is any little mismatch between our Terms of Service and this Shipping Policy, then this Shipping Policy applies, specifically for shipping and delivery.


Please read this Shipping Policy nicely and carefully. By using our Services, you confirm you’ve read it, and you get how we handle shipping and delivery.


Shipping Destinations  

We ship to addresses in New Zealand and also to select international spots. At checkout, you’ll see which countries and regions we can ship to depending on your address.


If you’re ordering from outside New Zealand or Australia, you might have to pay customs duties, import taxes, or other charges from your local authorities. Those amounts are not part of your product price or our shipping cost, and they’re your responsibility. We recommend checking with your local customs office before ordering so there aren’t any surprise extra costs.


Shipping Methods and Costs  

We offer Express Delivery with free shipping on all orders across New Zealand and Australia. You'll enjoy fast, reliable delivery at no extra cost. Simply place your order, and we'll ensure it reaches you as quickly as possible.

Free Shipping: We do free shipping for all orders within New Zealand and Australia

Shipping times are estimates, and they can shift due to carrier delays, weather, customs processing, or busy seasons.


Order Processing Times  

We process orders within 1–2 business days. That includes checking payment, packing your items, and passing the parcel to the carrier. Orders placed on weekends or holidays, get processed on the next business day.


If an item in your order is out of stock, we’ll email you with an expected restock date. You can wait, request a partial shipment, or cancel that specific item for a refund.


Tracking Your Order  

Once your order is shipped, you’ll get an email that includes a tracking number and a link to track your package. You can also log into your account any time to check the current status.


Tracking updates may take up to 24 hours after shipping. If you don’t receive a tracking email within 3 business days, check your spam folder first, or contact us at Smartplayaudio@gmail.com or +64225101234.


Delivery Issues  

We try our best to deliver your order safely, and on time. But sometimes, things go sideways. If you run into any issue from below, please reach out ASAP:


  • Delayed Delivery. If your order hasn’t shown up in the expected window, start by checking the tracking. If there’s been no movement for more than 7 days, or the carrier reports a delay, tell us and we’ll follow up.  

  • Lost or Stolen Packages. If tracking says delivered,but you can’t find it, check with neighbors, building management, or your local post office. If it’s still missing after 7 days, contact us and we’ll coordinate with the carrier.  

  • Damaged Items. If your order arrives damaged, take photos of the packaging and the item, then reach out within 7 days. We’ll arrange a replacement or a refund.  

  • Incorrect Address. If you entered the wrong address, contact us immediately. If the order hasn’t shipped yet, we may be able to update it. Once it’s on the way, we can’t change the address, and you may need to contact the carrier, or place a brand new order.


We’re not responsible for delays or losses caused by wrong, incomplete, or inaccurate addresses. Please double-check everything before you order.


Shipping Restrictions  

Some items may have shipping limitations due to size weight, safety rules, or local laws. If we can’t ship something to you, we’ll email you with possible solutions like partial shipment, store credit, or a refund.


We can refuse or cancel orders that look like they’re meant for resale, commercial use, or fraud. We may also restrict the number of certain items one customer can purchase.
