Shipping & Public Holiday's:

Don't worry, if your order is affected by public holidays your food will be safe in our freezer, shipped on the next possible day and arrive frozen and you don't need to do anything.

We do not ship from Fresh Chef the day of and day prior to Public Holidays. Most public Holidays in NZ are Mondays with the exception of Matariki, Good Friday & Canterbury Anniversary which also effects our shipping.

Matariki, Good Friday, Canterbury Anniversary Friday (2nd Friday in November): 

We do not ship to the South Island (or orders that usually come on NZ Post) on the Thursday prior to these dates.

So if your subscription usually arrives on a Friday - you will not receive it unless you change your order day to the Monday prior.

FAQ

Does my Food Stay Frozen?

Yes, we have a proven packing and shipping system that allows for two and a half days.  Over 93% of our orders arrive overnight.  If something goes wrong with shipping delays, which is rare - the top meals may start to soften. These meals could go straight into your fridge for consumption if partly frozen.
