New Zealand Warranties
All our products are supplied by Distributors so all warranties are supported within N.Z. On very rare occasions when the distributor is out of stock or a product has become obsolete and no more are available in N.Z. to replace your unit there may be a shipping wait for a replacement to come to the distributor from overseas. If no replacement can be sourced then either an alternative product or credit will be offered.

Delivery time.
We try to get as many orders as possible into parcels to achieve the overnight classification of parcels to urban areas. This usually means next working day delivery. Some deliveries are possible on Saturday.
Larger items and boxes often will go into a different delivery stream and may take 1-2 days more.
Please allow extra time for rural delivery. Sometimes next working day has been achieved. Yes, shocked us too!
Is pick up possible?
Yes, pick up is possible and can be specified on your order at checkout. There is no extra cost for this option. We prefer a user pays model to lower your cost. Delivery is extra.
Pick up is from Huapai, northwest of Auckland city.
Delivery packaging.
Self-inking stamps choose not to use single use plastic.
Our packages are either plant based compostable plastics or paper with cushioning.
For larger items we use carboard boxes and sheet cardboard.
Our tape tapes are usually plant based, paper and/or compostable.
The label on the outside of the package is also compostable. We felt it was especially important to include this in the compostable capability. Who wants to try and get the labels off the bag to compost them!! No thanks. We do not want to discourage composting. Just get it right to start with and help everyone and the planet. Our compost bin looks a bit weird though with compostable bags in it during the breakdown process.
There may be some plastics from time to time especially bubble wrap. These are usually from parcels received here and instead of dumping it we make sure it has another use instead of single use.
Boxes are also re-used frequently you may find lots of tape and other delivery labels on there. We can all help by re-using these items.
Out of Stock Products and Back-orders
If a product is ordered but later found to be out of stock the Self-Inking Stamps reserves the right to put the order on back order and confirm a suggested ETA with the customer. The customer may ask Self-Inking Stamps to either find or offer an alternative (similar) product (if an alternative option is available) price differences will need to be paid by the customer if the cost is higher or if cheaper the difference refunded by Self-Inking Stamps to the customer or if the ETA is too far, offer a full refund to the customer.

Online purchases are strictly payment before shipping.
Upon application Self-Inking Stamps may offer credit terms to clients who make multiple purchases per month.
These might be 7 days or they may be in certain instances 20th of the following month of purchase.
Self-Inking Stamps are not a finance institution and do not wish to be treated as your finance institution. Please organise your own finance if you cannot afford to pay for some stamps.
Payment is strictly on or before the agreed date. If this is not honoured by payment on time then Self-Inking Stamps Ltd need to include finance costs for financing your purchases and responsibilities. Self-Inking Stamps Ltd need to cover the cost of financing your debt and the disappointing part of administering and calculating the penalty that will apply. Should payment be received after the agreed date then the penalty shall be 1.5 times Self-Inking Stamps Ltd overdraft interest rate at that time. The penalty will apply to each sale individually from the time of invoicing to the time of a payment receipt. Any payments received will be credited against the interest proportion of your account first and then the oldest outstanding purchases. This penalty interest will be added to your account each and every month an outstanding amount is unpaid, compounding. Should payment not be received fully for two consecutive periods the privilege of credit purchases will be suspended or cancelled.
These compounding penalties are 100% percent avoidable, just pay before or on time please. That way we will all be happy and Self-Inking Stamps will be able to help you with your stamp requirements next time.
You agree that all costs, fees and legal expenses associated with the recovery of unpaid purchases are completely the responsibility of the buyer in addition to the original cost of the purchased items plus any interest owing on that purchase from the date of purchase to the date of payment.
