    Shipping & Delivery

    Inside New Zealand

    Shipping cost can vary between products due to the size and weight of each product. If you wish to know the cost to ship, please add the required products to the cart and proceed through the first steps of checkout. Once the system understands which products you are wanting purchase and where your shipping address is located, the shipping cost will display for you.

    Certain products such as the Barrier Pole Fenders, are very large in size and can only be picked up, or contact us directly to arrange shipping pole fenders direct to your marina.

    All goods are shipped from either from Auckland or Christchurch (product dependant).

    Delivery address must be a physical premises (e.g. residential, commercial, industrial) as we cannot deliver goods to PO Boxes.

    Smaller goods are shipped within New Zealand via tracked couriers. Expected delivery is 1-4 working days depending on your location.

    Larger goods (e.g. marina fenders) are shipped via freight companies. Expected delivery is 2-5 working days depending on your location.

    All goods are shipped from New Zealand directly to you using DHL Express or a similar airfreight service.  Tax, duty and tariffs are not charged on products sold outside of New Zealand.  If any are applicable upon importation into your destination country, the shipping company will contact you directly for payment of these on arrival of the products into your country.

    Expected delivery is 3-7 working days depending on your location.

    For the quickest delivery, your shipping address should be a physical premises.  In some cases, a PO Box is also acceptable, but delivery will take longer.  If there is an issue with delivering to your PO Box address, we’ll get in touch with you before we ship your goods.

    General Information

    Hauraki Neoprene Fender Covers are the best you can get for protecting your gelcoat or paint job.  The covers are reversible up and down, as well as inside out, meaning you can get up to 4 x the life out of them. They are manufactured in New Zealand from neoprene comprising of a soft-closed-cell foam rubber with a stretchable nylon fabric either side meaning they do not absorb water and are resilient to algae growth. The covers are a nice snug fit and do not need to be removed to inflate or deflate the fender.

    Regular application of 303 Aerospace Protectant will further increase the life expectancy of the neoprene covers.

    • Pass fender through the end hole
    • Half inflate fender and position cover (straighten seams)

    Care Instructions

    • Reverse (turn them inside-out) and rotate your covers (top and bottom) periodically to get up to four times the life from your covers
    • To clean your covers, use fresh water or a mild soapy solution
    • Do not use bleach on your covers!
    • To prolong life, store out of direct sunlight (you wouldn't leave your wetsuit in the sun)
