Before submitting your order you can let us know if you are happy for us to substitute an alternative item for you if the one you have chosen is out of stock. If you let us know that you happy to accept substitutions, your Personal Shopper will endeavour to select a similar item for you if the original item you have ordered is unavailable.

There are some products we do not substitute such as alcohol, baby formula, hair dye and vitamins. These products are usually specifically chosen by customers based on personal taste and preference and therefore aren’t appropriate to substitute.

Your order is assembled by a personal shopper at your chosen PAK'nSAVE store. 

While we endeavour for our online prices to match in-store prices, they may not always be the same.

A nominal charge of $1 will be taken from your payment card at the time your order is placed and then for each subsequent edit, to ensure your card is valid. These charges will be reversed by your bank within 7 days.

Payment is then finalised when we have assembled your order, which in most cases is the day your order is due to be collected.

You can pay either by credit or debit card - Visa or Mastercard. American Express cards are also accepted at most stores, with the exception of PAK’nSAVE Mangere and PAK’nSAVE New Plymouth.

If you’re unable to show a valid ID which proves you are 18 years or older, any alcohol in your order will be removed and a refund will be issued for those withdrawn products.

It is important that you choose a timeslot that you will be able to meet, however if you find yourself unable to collect your order within that timeslot please call our contact centre on 0800 725 672 to make alternative arrangements.
