2. PLACING AN ORDER FOR YOUR GROCERIES

2.1 General (Delivery or Click & Collect)

We offer two options for receiving your Groceries. We can deliver them direct to your nominated delivery address, or you can pick them up from your nominated store (using Click & Collect). We discuss these two options in more detail below.

Please note that some of our stores may only offer a Click & Collect service, while other stores may only offer a Delivery service. 

We reserve the right to refuse any order placed via the New World online shopping service at our sole discretion.

Where payment for a refused order has been charged to your credit or debit card or you are otherwise entitled to a refund for Groceries paid for using a credit or debit card, we will refund the value of that order to the credit or debit card that was used for payment provided the credit or debit card has not expired. If the payment card has expired and it is not possible to refund the card used for payment, you will be refunded the full value you are entitled to in New World Dollars.

Where payment for a refused order has been deducted from your New World Dollars balance or you are otherwise entitled to a refund for Groceries paid for using New World Dollars, we will refund the value of that order in New World Dollars.

2.2 Minimum order value

The total estimated value of your order shown on the “check-out” page must be at least $1 before your order for Groceries will be accepted.

2.3 Order cut-off times

Orders for Delivery and Click & Collect must be placed before the order cut-off times displayed on New World’s online shop or otherwise determined by us (the relevant cut-off time for your order being referred to as the Order Cut-Off Time(s) in these terms and conditions). Order Cut-Off Times may change from time to time as determined by us.

2.4 Click & Collect and Delivery Timeslots

We will offer Click & Collect and Delivery services between set hours, and these services will be allocated by scheduled timeslots that can be booked through the New World online shopping service.

There may be a limit to the number of orders that can be delivered or picked-up during each available timeslot. You can reserve a Click & Collect Timeslot or Delivery Timeslot for up to 30 minutes while you select your Groceries. After that time, we cannot guarantee that the Click & Collect Timeslot or Delivery Timeslot you reserved will still be available and you may be prompted by New World to select another timeslot.

We will do what we reasonably can to deliver or make your order available for pick-up within the timeslot selected by you. If it is not possible for us to deliver or make your order available for pickup within the timeslot you have selected we will try to contact you using the contact information. We reserve the right to amend timeslot schedules, including Click & Collect and Delivery times, at our sole discretion.

2.5 Estimated order value and final order value
The order value at the time you place your order is an estimated total only. The final order value is the actual price you will pay for your Groceries (plus any service fees for Delivery and Click & Collect, as explained below) and may change from the estimated order value for the following reasons:

• Variable weight items – if you have ordered Grocery items that need to be weighed (such as produce, seafood, meat and deli items from our fresh food departments) or are pre-packed items that are of variable weight, you will be charged for the actual weight of the item picked by our Personal Shoppers (at the unit price displayed by New World at the time you placed your order). Our Personal Shoppers will do their best to ensure that the items you actually get and pay for weigh as close as possible to the weight you ordered.

• Substitutions – if you have agreed that substitutions are allowed, the final value of your order may reduce as a result of us substituting items that are not available for similar items. You will be charged the cheaper price of either the item ordered or the substituted item.

• No substitutions – if you have not agreed to allow for substitutions, the final value of your order may reduce from the estimated order value, as a result of us removing Groceries from your order that are not available.

You will be provided a final invoice at the time of pick up or delivery.

Please also note that if we allow you to change your Grocery order under clause 2.13, pricing for your order may change. See clause 2.13 below for detail.

Service fees if any will be calculated based on the final order value.

2.6 Service fees

We may charge service and delivery fees for orders placed through our New World online store. These fees may change from time to time. You will be notified of any applicable fees at the time of placing your order.

2.7 Payment

Orders must be paid for by credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard) or by using New World Dollars. You may also opt to split your payment and use a combination of payment methods.

If you are using New World Dollars to pay for Groceries online (in full or in part), you must ensure your nominated Clubcard is linked to your online shopping account and then select the amount of New World Dollars you would like to use at the checkout.

You cannot use New World Gift Cards or Christmas Club funds to pay for orders through New World’s online shopping service.

New World does not store complete or usable credit or debit card information. We may store other credit or debit card information used to pay for orders placed through New World’s online shopping service so that we can help you identify cards you have used to pay for your Groceries before and may like to use again. To pay for your order using a credit or debit card you will be transferred to a secure accredited partner that is PCI compliant.

If you are using a credit or debit card to pay for your Groceries, your credit or debit card will have a nominal amount (currently $1) held from the time you place your order to ensure your card is valid. This nominal amount will be reversed within 7 days of placing your order (it will not be taken off the payment for your order). Payment for your order will be processed on the date you have chosen to pick-up your Groceries or have them delivered. You must ensure you have sufficient funds available on your credit or debit card to pay for the order on this date. If you have insufficient funds on that date then your order will not be processed or provided. We will contact you to let you know that your order has been cancelled.

If you are using New World Dollars for payment of your order, a hold will be placed on the full value of the New World Dollars needed to pay for your Groceries on the date you place your order to ensure you have sufficient New World Dollars available. Your order will be processed and invoiced on the date you have chosen to pick-up your Groceries or have them delivered and your New World Dollars will be redeemed and deducted from your overall balance on this date. You agree to indemnify (compensate) us against any loss or damage that we incur arising out of any default by your credit or debit card provider to make payment to us in full and where for whatever reason the Groceries are made available to you for pick-up or otherwise delivered.

2.8 Currency/GST

All prices set out in these terms and conditions and/or displayed by New World are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and include GST.

2.9 Confirmation of order

Once you have successfully submitted your order we will send you an order confirmation to the email address you have provided to us. Please check your spam or junk folders in case our email has been directed there. To avoid this, we recommend that you add our email address ([email protected]) to your contacts list. If your order confirmation has not come through within 4 hours then please call our Customer Support Centre on 0800 4 NEW WORLD (0800 463 996 ).

Please review your confirmation email when it comes through to check that everything is correct.

If something does not look right, then please contact our Customer Support Centre on 0800 4 NEW WORLD (0800 463 996).

2.11 Maximum number of items

We reserve the right to limit the number of each item we will supply in any transaction. You must not purchase items through New World for the purposes of resale. If we suspect that you are doing so, we may suspend or terminate your access to New World’s online shopping service and/or we may refuse to fulfil any order you place through New World’s online shopping service.

2.12 If what you order is not what you get

Our Personal Shoppers will do their best to pick your Groceries in accordance with your order and preferences. If you notice that you have been charged for a Grocery item you did not receive or have been supplied a Grocery item in error, then please contact our Customer Support Centre on 0800 4 NEW WORLD (0800 463 996) so that we can address the issue.

2.13 Changing or cancelling your order

You can change or cancel your order through New World’s online shop up until the applicable Order Cut-Off Time for the placing of your order (see clause 2.3 above). It may be possible for you to change or cancel your order after the Order Cut-Off Time by calling our Customer Support Centre on 0800 4 NEW WORLD (0800 463 996). We reserve the right to charge you a fee for any order that is amended or cancelled after the Order Cut-Off Time.

Please note that if we allow you to change your order, all of the prices of your order will update to the current pricing at that time. This means you may lose the benefit of any promotional pricing which applied when you first submitted your order. However, you may gain the benefit of any promotional pricing that has been introduced since you placed your original order.

If you confirm your change of order, we will send you an updated order confirmation email, which will have a new estimated order value based on prices listed on New World’s online shop when you made the change.

If you do not collect your Click & Collect order during your allocated time slot, or if you cancel your order within 24 hours of your scheduled collection, we may charge you a $20 handling fee to your payment card.
