🇳🇿 New Zealand Shipping Guide – Heiwa Slipper

GST 15% • DHL handling fees • Best choice: 1 pair Etsy / 2+ pairs Our Store

💡 Quick tip for New Zealand:

Our store does not collect NZ GST online. → For 1 pair, Etsy can be cheaper since GST is prepaid at checkout and DHL won’t add a collection fee. → For 2+ pairs, our store is usually better thanks to discounts & free shipping.

🛍 Buy 1 pair on Etsy 🛒 Shop 2+ pairs on our store

Note: Etsy prices can be slightly higher due to platform fees.

🚚 Shipping basics

  • Carrier: DHL Express
  • Flat rate: $18 USD per order
  • Free shipping: orders over $85 USD
  • Dispatch: daily (except Wed, Sun & Japanese national holidays)
📍 Remote Area: DHL surcharge may apply. 📦 DHL does not deliver to P.O. boxes. 🌱 CO₂ offset supported for every parcel.

💶 Taxes & duties (New Zealand)

  • DHL fee: if DHL collects GST at delivery, they may add a processing fee.
