Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver to all regions in the North Island?

Yes, we deliver to Auckland, some Waikato and Bay of Plenty towns using our own refrigerated trucks. The rest of the North Island regions such as Gisborne, Northland, Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki, Wellington and Manawatū-Whanganui, will use express chilled courier service.

How is the meat kept fresh during deliveries?

Online meat orders are carefully packed in insulated boxes with wool liners and food-safe ice packs. This keeps your meat at the right chilled temperature, either on our own refrigerated truck or during transit with our trusted third-party couriers.

Why choose online meat delivery over supermarkets?

Supermarkets often stock pre-packaged meat that may sit for 5–7 days before reaching shelves. With Chicken n Things, your online meat order is freshly processed in Auckland and shipped in temperature-controlled packaging to North Island.

Can I get next-day meat delivery in North Island?

Yes, if your town is on our direct delivery route serviced by our refrigerated trucks, you can often get next-day delivery. For areas outside our direct route, orders are sent via courier and usually arrive within 1–2 days. To ensure maximum freshness, we dispatch early in the week (Mon–Wed) to avoid weekend delays.

Do you supply to restaurants or only households in the North Island?

We supply both households and businesses across the North Island. Many local cafés, eateries, and food service operators rely on our fresh meat deliveries.

Is there a delivery fee for online meat orders?

Delivery is free for orders over $100 in our own delivery zones. Orders below this may incur a delivery fee depending on location and courier charges.

Can I return the packaging?

If your town is in our truck route, we’ll even collect your used boxes and ice packs during your next meat delivery to help reduce waste.

How should I store my order once it arrives?

Please place all meat products into the fridge or freezer immediately upon delivery to maintain freshness and safety.

What happens if I’m not home when the meat delivery arrives?

Both our truck drivers and trusted third-party courier will leave your insulated box in a secure spot if no one is available to receive it. The box includes ice packs to keep your meat safely chilled until you return, but we recommend arranging to be home or providing delivery instructions to ensure safe handling.

What if there is an issue with my online meat order?

All complaints or claims must be notified within 24 hours of receiving the product. This helps us resolve the issue quickly and maintain our quality standards.
