  • Due to international rules regarding wireless devices, we only ship within New Zealand and to some Pacific Island nations
  • If you are in a Pacific Island nation, please contact us directly first to discuss if our products are compatible and shipping costs
  • There is a worldwide network of Davis Instruments resellers. If in doubt about who the best reseller is for your country, please contact Davis Instruments directly
  • If the item is in stock and once payment has been confirmed, we ship orders usually within one to two business days
  • There are the occasional events during the year where we might take a little bit longer, but these are usually noted in our News section. An example is the New Zealand Fieldays, in mid-June. We close for about two weeks over Christmas and New Year and reopen in early January.

  • We do keep most common products and parts in stock
  • If you require multiples of a specialist product, we may need to order in for you
  • Back-ordered items usually take six weeks from when we order from the factory
  •  If you do have a project coming up, please get in touch with us to discuss things in advance, even if things are still up in the air. We will see what we can do to assist
  • We use a secure payment portal provided by Wind Cave
  • Our website does not handle the payments or save credit card details

  • You can purchase via our web shop by credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or direct bank transfer

  • For urban areas in the South Island, allow 2-3 days
  • Allow 2-3 extra days on top of this for rural addresses
  • We will send you tracking details. You can track your parcel with New Zealand Couriers or Post Haste for updates. The Product code will be the short prefix (e.g. LH, E40) and the Ticket number a string of numbers
  • The couriers both provide network status information may also provide some explanation for a delay. Check with New Zealand Couriers or Post Haste
  • However, parcels sometimes do go on a bit of an adventure and can occasionally take a week or two. Why is a mystery to us. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen often
