Delivery Status

If you wish to follow up the status of your delivery or track an order, please call our Customer Service team on 09 273 9191 or 0800 WATERWARE between 8am- 5pm Monday to Friday. In the first instance, please refer to the above Delivery Methods chart to view the expected delivery timeframes. If the timeframe has passed, please call us for assistance. Please consider that as we use 3rd party contractors for our freighting, we do not have control of actual delivery times once the orders leave our warehouse in Auckland.

If you have a large/ bulky order being despatched via truck i.e; Mainfreight or Bascik Transport, and wish for the driver to call ahead of time to ensure someone is available on-site to receive the delivery, please note this is done at the driver / delivery companies discretion. We encourage you to make this clear to our Customer Service team, and provide a full name and contact number. We will pass this information on, and will then leave it in the hands of the trucking company. Please note, the same can not be done for courier deliveries i.e; NZ Couriers or Posthaste.
