Shipping policy
This is a reservation only, not a stocked product
Sixty Years of Business has not yet been written or printed. By placing an order you are reserving one of 1500 numbered copies from a future print run. You are not buying a book that exists today, and nothing will be dispatched to you in the near term.
Please do not order if you need the book by a particular date.
When it will ship
The book is planned for publication on 26 August 2030, to mark NBR's sixtieth year. Dispatch will follow publication, which is several years from the date of your reservation, and we will confirm the schedule as printing approaches. If you proceed with a reservation, you do so with full knowledge of and agreement to this.
This is an estimate made in good faith, not a guaranteed date. Publication timing depends on editorial, production and print scheduling. We will keep you informed by email as the project progresses, and we will notify you in writing if the timeline changes materially.
Whether the book proceeds
The book will only proceed to publication if we receive a minimum number of reservations by 1 February 2027.
If the minimum is not met, the book will not proceed. We will notify you in writing, cancel all reservations, and refund you the price paid by you for the book and for shipping.
Once it does ship
Delivery after dispatch is typically:
- New Zealand: 2–5 working days
- International: 10–20 working days
Shipping is charged at the time of reservation, being $10 NZD within New Zealand or $33 NZD if it is international. If our shipping costs change before dispatch, we will absorb the difference — you will not be asked for more.
Keeping your details current
Because of the time involved, please tell us at customerservices@nbr.co.nz if your delivery address or email changes. We will contact you before dispatch to confirm your delivery address.
If we cannot reach you via email, or delivery fails, we will hold your copy and try to contact you again via email. If we still cannot reach you via email within a further 30 days, we may (at our discretion) refund you the price that you paid for the book (excluding shipping) and cancel your order.
Customs and duties
Prices include New Zealand GST. For international orders, any import duties or customs charges levied by the destination country are the customer's sole responsibility.
If it arrives damaged
If your copy arrives damaged or defective, you must contact us within 30 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you the price paid by you for the book and shipping.
