Rural Address Policy
At Ego Store, we rely on the courier system to determine whether an address is classified as rural. This classification is beyond our control and is based on the service zones of the courier companies we work with.
What This Means:
-
Rural Surcharge: If your address is flagged as rural by the courier system, a rural delivery surcharge will apply. The exact fee may vary, so please refer to the current delivery charges policy for details. This additional charge helps cover the higher cost of delivering to rural areas.
-
Urban Address Option: If you'd like to avoid the rural delivery surcharge, we recommend providing an alternative urban address, such as a workplace or a friend’s residence.
-
Courier-Determined Classification: Please note that the classification of an address as rural or urban is made by the courier companies we use, and we cannot override this determination.
How to Check:
We work with the following courier companies: NZ Post, Post Haste & Castle Parcels. If your address is serviced by one of these companies, you can use their online tools to check if it is classified as rural. Alternatively, feel free to contact us, and we can assist you in checking your address in the courier’s system.
