The Shipping Process

Once we receive your order, it’s processed by our distribution team (aka our team of one! 😊). Processing takes up to 24 hours (Monday – Friday). Orders placed after 12 PM (EST) will be processed the next business day.

During busy times (like sales or promotions), it may take an extra couple of days—thanks for your patience! Once your order is dispatched, we’ll send you an email with your tracking number.

What If My Parcel Goes Missing?

📌 Important: If your order is returned to us because it wasn’t collected, we’re unable to resend it free of charge outside of New Zealand.

 


Authority to Leave Your Parcel

💡 If your property has an ‘Authority to Leave’ (ATL) and your package is left unattended, Sugar is unable to process claims or refunds if it goes missing.

We recommend monitoring your tracking link to manage deliveries and make any necessary changes.
