Please note, your ordered items may come from different stores depending on stock levels. This means you may receive multiple parcels dispatched at different times from different stores.
What happens if I’m not in when the courier arrives?
All of our parcels are sent signature required so we recommend making your delivery address a place where someone will be there to receive it. If nobody is there to sign for the parcel a card to call should be left by the courier to let you know delivery was attempted. There are instructions on how and what to do next on the card to call.
If you are having no luck, the best thing to do is call Courier Post on 0800 COURIER and quote your tracking number. Alternatively, you can
contact us and we may be able to help.

You most certainly can! When you go to check out with your shopping cart, there is a payment option for vouchers and instructions on how to do so.
Our vouchers can be used on absolutely anything, including sale/discounted product.
The item I want is out of stock. When will you be getting more?
We have a team who are constantly doing reorders on our best selling styles from our suppliers. Unfortunately sometimes things will sell out. If you have missed out on something you really want, get hold of our
Online Customer Service team and they can let you know when the next order will come in or where else we can try source one for you.
I’ve bought shoes but didn’t realise they were in men’s sizing?
All shoe measurements are listed in the Product Details. You can also compare sizes by using the size guide.
We recommend you purchase the shoe again – in the correct size (this will ensure you get them before they sell out) and send the original pair back to us. We will send you the new pair and when we receive the wrong ones you will receive a refund.
Alternatively you can send the original shoes back and place a note in the parcel requesting the correct size. We will exchange the shoes as long as the new size is available.
Is everything online available in every store?
If you have seen an item in-store but not online, chances are it has sold out online. We recommend you call the store that you originally saw the item and check it’s still in stock. Store transfers can be arranged for a $10 fee but we’re unable to transfer from a physical store to the online store.
Can I place my order over the phone?
Unfortunately we cannot take orders by phone; all orders should be placed online.
Can I order online and pick up in-store?
We dispatch our orders from nine different stores so we can’t always guarantee your item is available in the specific store you want. You can check store availability online. Simply click on the item you want and click the grey ‘Check Instore’ box.
How do I find out if an item is in stock?
Click on the item you’re interested in and scroll down the page until you see a grey box labelled ‘Check Instore’. This will show which stores are stocking the item, including which sizes are available.
This is on sale in-store but it’s not on your website?
Stores will often discount items when they only have a few styles left. Because nortbeach.co.nz dispatches from nine different stores, our stock levels are rarely low and therefore we’re not in the same position to lower our prices.
If an item is available in my local store, am I able to put it on hold?
Sure. Please give the store a call and ask the floor staff to reserve the item for you. However, you will have to purchase it from the actual store; it cannot be reserved and later bought online. Please be aware, if we put an item on hold and it sells online, it will no longer be valid for hold.
I’ve seen an item online but I don’t want it to sell-out. Am I able to get it put on hold?
Unfortunately we’re unable to hold online items.
Is your site secure?
Our site is most definitely secure, we are partnered with DPS Payment Express to accept your payment. We also use Secure Sockets Layer technology to protect your information as it is transmitted to us. This means that at the checkout our website and your computer will encrypt all information provided to help prevent other computers making sense of it.

What if my item is faulty?
What if I don't have the branded shoebox my shoes came in anymore?
