Whether you live in Auckland, Canterbury, Invercargill or Taranaki we can ship our fertile eggs straight to your door! Posting eggs does come with some risk, so we can't guarantee they'll all hatch but we try to give them the best chance we can!
New Zealand's national postal service is our preferred choice of carrier. NZ Post offers tracking on all of its services, has the largest network in the country (including the rural delivery service) and is also the most reliable. They have excellent customer service and are a pleasure to work with!
To keep the eggs nice and fresh by the time they arrive at your front door, we only ship eggs on Monday's and Tuesday's. Orders collected over the week are shipped on Monday and any orders from Sunday 5pm to Tuesday 2pm are shipped Tuesday. Parcels are directly unloaded into the local depot at 3:30pm.
Depending on your location, eggs can take different amounts of time to arrive. Below are the estimated times of arrival. Please note these are estimates only and not a guarantee.
Auckland: 1-2 Days
North Island: 1-3 Days
South Island: 2-4 Days
Rural Delivery: 1-3 Days Longer

Eggs can break if handled roughly by the post, and even our packaging methods can be useless against some courier drivers!
No signs of life by day 10? Crack the egg open, if the yolk and whites are mixed at this stage the it's more than likely that the eggs were shaken around too much while in courier. If they're still intact, check out our page on Egg Development.
Opened the box up and you've got the wrong eggs? Even if you're not sure contact us immediately at complaints@chickandegg.co.nz . We do ship large volumes of eggs and have multiple staff in our packing team so mix ups can occasionally happen.
