Shipping from India to New Zealand — questions

How do I shop Indian websites from New Zealand?

Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to New Zealand.

How long does delivery to New Zealand take?

Typically 7 to 12 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.

How much can I save by combining parcels?

International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight — savings of up to 80% against shipping each order on its own are normal.

Will I pay customs duty in New Zealand?

Declare all food and biological items; MPI inspects incoming parcels. GST and duty apply per New Zealand Customs thresholds. Duty is charged by the customs authority in New Zealand, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to New Zealand?

Prohibited for New Zealand: Food, fruit, vegetables, seeds, and plant material without a permit; Honey and bee products; Wooden and cane items, and untreated plant material; Meat, dairy, and egg products; Soil and used items carrying soil (e.g., dirty footwear/equipment); Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones. Check before you order — these are refused at customs or by the airline.

How long will you hold my parcels?

30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.

Do I need an Indian card or phone number?

For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
