Information for First Time Customers

IMPORTANT: Ensure you read and understand the Terms and Conditions before placing an order on this website.

HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE

Stock available in-store will be packed and dispatched within 1 business day.
Delivery within NZ: 2-3 business days

Deliveries to PO Boxes and rural addresses will take a little longer. All orders require a signature upon delivery.

Our parcels are shipped with NZ Post, who have a handy page that keeps you up to date with domestic delivery delays:

Orders that need to be sourced from a supplier typically take 5-10 business days to ship to us.
Delivery timeframes are listed on all items.

IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER

Ideally, we need to know before 9am the next business day. Our dispatch team is pretty speedy, so please let us know ASAP if you need to cancel your order.

BACKORDERS

We're lucky to have suppliers from around the world so your record and CD collections can brag that they "found themselves in Europe"...

While most products on our website are available from suppliers within the indicated time, occasionally, there are delays resulting in your item being placed on backorder. Unfortunately, we don't get given an ETA for backorders.

You will be contacted ASAP if an item in your order is on backorder. You can either choose to wait for a restock, or accept a refund. If the wait for a backorder becomes too long, you are entitled to a refund at any time.

CANCELLED ITEMS

Our website updates our in-store data feed a couple times a day, so stock levels should mostly be up to date. However, as Real Groovy is open 7 days a week, sometimes an in-store customer will have the same taste as you and purchase a record before our dispatch team can pick it from the store.
In this unfortunate case, we provide a full refund on the item.

DELIVERY COSTS

Orders over $100 qualify for free delivery within New Zealand only. For orders under $100, delivery costs are based on an NZ Post calculator which takes into account:

  • Location
  • Parcel weight
  • Parcel dimensions

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We ship to Australia and the U.S. via NZ Post.
We can't ship certain items overseas, so please make sure you're shopping on the right website before you place an order (there's a little dropdown next to your shopping cart).

Estimated delivery times:

  • Australia: 3-6 business days
  • USA: 6-13 business days
  • Elsewhere: 6-13 business days

For product imported to Real Groovy, please add 5-10 business days to the above timing. Items in stock at Real Groovy should ship from NZ within 1 business day.

If you wish to have your order shipped outside of NZ, AUS, or the US, please contact [email protected]

Tracking international orders is available on NZ Post until your parcel arrives in its destination country.
From this point, your tracking number will need to be used on either:
AUS Post tracking
UPS tracking
