Shipping policy

Thank you for shopping with JAMES WILLIAMS. As a professional online apparel retailer based in New Zealand, we adhere to standardized order processing and safe logistics management standards. We aim to deliver all clothing merchandise with careful inspection and proper packaging, ensuring customers receive their orders in good condition within standard logistics timelines.

1. Order Processing Time

All confirmed and fully paid apparel orders will undergo internal review, quality inspection and professional packaging within 1 to 5 business days. Processing operations only take place on regular working days, excluding weekends and official New Zealand public holidays.
During peak shopping seasons and promotional events with elevated order volumes, order processing timelines may be moderately extended. We will issue timely email notifications to customers if noticeable delays occur, keeping all order progress fully transparent.

2. Shipping Rates and Delivery Estimates

Logistics shipping fees for all apparel orders are calculated based on package weight, dimensions and delivery destination. The final shipping cost will be clearly calculated and displayed on the checkout page prior to payment. Our store does not offer free shipping, shipping discounts or any logistics preferential benefits of any kind.
The estimated delivery period for all standard orders is 15 business days. All delivery timelines are approximate and for reference only. Actual delivery progress may fluctuate due to logistics carrier operational issues, customs clearance cycles, severe weather conditions, regional logistical restrictions and holiday schedules, which shall be subject to real-time logistics status.

3. Shipment Confirmation and Order Tracking

Once your clothing order is dispatched from our warehouse and picked up by our partnered logistics carrier, you will receive an official shipment confirmation email containing your exclusive tracking number and logistics inquiry access.
Tracking data will not be instantly updated after dispatch. In most cases, complete transit details and delivery status will be activated and available for customer inquiry within 24 to 48 hours after the carrier completes system scanning and registration.

4. Incorrect Address Disclaimer

Customers are solely responsible for providing accurate, complete and valid recipient addresses and contact information during order checkout. Please verify all delivery details carefully to prevent delivery errors or package returns.
JAMES WILLIAMS accepts no liability for misdelivery, package loss or failed delivery caused by incorrect or incomplete customer-provided address information. Any packages returned due to address errors will require the customer to cover all return logistics fees and additional reshipping costs for secondary delivery.

5. Lost or Damaged Packages

If your apparel package is unaccounted for, stranded or confirmed lost during transit, please submit a formal investigation request to our customer service team within 3 business days following your scheduled delivery date and provide your valid order number.
If your clothing items arrive with packaging damage, fabric defects, stains or other transit-induced impairments caused by extrusion and rough handling, please contact our support team within 24 hours upon package receipt. Clear photographic evidence of both the outer packaging and damaged merchandise is required for verification. Our team will assess each case individually and resolve issues efficiently.

6. Apparel Care and Usage Notice

Every clothing item sold in our store is equipped with unique fabric care labels and professional maintenance guidelines. Customers are advised to follow the official instructions for daily wear, cleaning, drying, ironing and storage to preserve the fabric quality, color fastness and overall service life of the garments.
We exclude all liability for garment damage, shrinkage, discoloration, deformation and wear failure resulting from unauthorized alteration, improper cleaning methods, high-temperature treatment, artificial damage or any usage behavior that does not comply with official product care standards.

7. International Shipping and Customs Notice

All cross-border international apparel shipments may be subject to import duties, commodity taxes and official inspection fees in accordance with the local trade policies and customs regulations of the destination country or region.
All customs and import-related charges are independent of product prices and shipping fees and are the exclusive responsibility of the customer. These fees are not included in order settlement totals. Customers must independently comply with local import rules and complete all customs clearance procedures and related payments.
