Returns & Refund policy

Courier deliveries of products purchased on this website are insured in transit to your delivery address. In the unfortunate event that products you have ordered are damaged in transit or missing from the delivery then under the terms & conditions you must notify the Mitchell Enterprises Limited customer service team no later than three days after the receipt of products. Email sales@thundervodka.nz and refer to your order number so we can resolve the issue. Usually this will be by way of sending you replacement products but due to item availability may involve a credit.

We always ensure that we comply with the Consumers Guarantee Act.

Please note that under the terms & conditions you have no entitlement to return goods for a refund beyond the situations covered above and if Mitchell Enterprises Limited does consent to the cancellation of your order you may need to incur handling charges to return products to Mitchell Enterprises Limited .

Delivery Process:

All orders are shipped from our warehouse in Auckland. Shipping is restricted to New Zealand.

While we try to deliver your order as soon as possible, please allow time for delivery. Should your order not be received after 10 business days, please contact the Customer Service team.

Authority to Leave:

Unfortunately, because all our parcels contain alcohol, we cannot give the couriers 'Authority to Leave'. We have asked that the courier company leaves a 'Card to Call' if no one is home - this leaves the customer free to rearrange a re-delivery or choose to pick up their parcel from the nearest NZ Courier depot.

What are the rules around alcohol delivery?

We can’t leave restricted goods such as alcohol unattended at an address. So please make sure that someone over the age of 18 will be available to take delivery – and they must have ID on them too.

Delivery Issues:

To deliver your order, it requires a signature from someone over 18. This means they cannot deliver your order to PO Boxes.

Changes to the delivery address cannot be administered once your online order is placed. Orders placed begin processing immediately to ensure order fulfillment and shipping time. In the event that you state an incorrect address, contact the Customer Service team during business hours.
