BUT HOW LONG WILL IT STAY CHILLED/ FROZEN FOR?
Our boxes are lined with Wool Cool - an insulating lining which is biodegradable, compostable and sealed in recyclable food-grade HDPE. It keeps the contents of the box below 5 degrees for upto 10 hours from delivery ensuring everything is still frozen and chilled when you get to it.
WoolCool is specifically designed for the delivery of chilled and frozen foods such as meat, fish, cheese, fresh fruit and veg. It has been trialled and tested to keep products within cool temperature ranges to ensure our deliveries always arrive in top condition for our Foodies.
IS YOUR PACKING ECO-FRIENDLY?
Sure is! Our cardboard boxes are recyclable. They are made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) materials, this means they are made with from FSC certified forests or from post-consumer waste.
Our icepacks are recyclable too. You can hold on to these and reuse them or empty the contents and recycle them.

FEEDBACK AND CUSTOMER ENQUIRIES
HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH THE TEAM AT EAT THE KIWI?
You can send us an email at hello@eatthekiwi.com, Facebook or Instagram message us. We’ll get back to all messages within a couple of hours.
WHY HAVE I RECEIVED SOMETHING THAT'S NOT FROM NEW ZEALAND?
We've teamed up with some of New Zealand's best growers and manufacturers to find the freshest and the best ingredients available. We've had to team up with a few friends across the ocean to help us out with products that aren't grown commercially in New Zealand or aren't in season. Rest assured, it's all Eat The Kiwi approved and just as delicious. Products that aren't from NZ have a little country flag in the top corner so you know where it's come from.
WHY DO YOUR PRICES KEEP CHANGING?
Eat The Kiwi's produce comes in fresh from New Zealand's best producers and growers. We try our best to get as much of our goodness right from the source so when moving in and of season the prices vary. This said, we understand $700 for a kg of limes is just a little crazy. In these situations, we venture a little outside of the New Zealand to kiwi approved growers to ensure we're getting the best price for you.
SOMETHINGS NOT QUITE RIGHT WITH MY DELIVERY, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
We always do out best to ensure everything you receive is correct and fresh but if something isn’t quite right you can email (hello@eatthekiwi.com) or webchat us. We’ll always to respond to emails within a few hours and webchat is live, so you’ll get an immediate response.
