While our store carries large inventory to provide customers with a wide selection, it is not practical to hold copies of all the items available on this website - we would need over 8 kms of shelving just to hold one copy of each book title available on our website.
If you prefer to purchase a product instore, call the store first to establish whether the item is available. If not, it is likely the store will be able to Special Order the item for you. Call or email the store on +64 9 302 3940 or frontcounter.ak@realgroovy.co.nz
Wherever possible, prices in store and on the website will be the same. However, price variations between the website and store will occur when different suppliers are used for the same item, or when import titles are purchased at different times - exchange rate movements have can impact on the price of products that Real Groovy import.
The stated availability of an item indicates the time taken before the item will be ready to dispatch to you, and takes into account the time taken to receive the item from the supplier. To estimate arrival to you, allow an additional 1-2 business days for courier delivery within NZ, and 2-4 weeks for air mail delivery of international orders (on rare occasions, international delivery can take up to 6 weeks).
Local NZ orders may be split and dispatched as items become available. International orders will be dispatched once all items are ready to ship.
From time to time, suppliers are unable to fulfill your order. Should this occur, we will inform you as soon as possible.
