We ship possum merino knitwear worldwide from Aotearoa New Zealand. All orders ship fully tracked via NZ Post, and all prices are shown in NZD. Your shipping cost at checkout will display in your selected currency.
EU shipping temporarily paused
From 1 July 2026, the EU introduced new customs requirements for incoming parcels. We've paused EU orders for now so we can set everything up to handle them smoothly — and make sure you're never caught out by unexpected charges on delivery. UK, US, Canada, Australia and the rest of the world are unaffected. We expect to be back soon. If there's something you have your eye on, get in touch and we'll let you know the moment EU shipping reopens.

Processing
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Once dispatched, you'll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow your order every step of the way.
Our knitwear is produced in small batches by New Zealand makers, which means some items may occasionally be between production runs — particularly during peak season. If anything in your order is temporarily unavailable, we'll be in touch within one business day with your options. We won't leave you waiting — your card won't be charged until we've confirmed availability or you've let us know how you'd like to proceed.
Delivery
All orders ship fully tracked via NZ Post. New Zealand orders ship via CourierPost with signature required. International orders are tracked end-to-end, with final delivery handled by your local postal service — AusPost in Australia, Canada Post in Canada, USPS in the United States, Royal Mail in the United Kingdom, and equivalent services elsewhere. Metro areas are typically faster than regional or remote addresses.

Customs, Duties & Taxes
New Zealand's free trade agreement with the United Kingdom (2023) means all Native Possum knitwear ships to the UK with zero customs duty. The only charge on arrival is the UK's standard VAT.
