Shipping Policy
Effective Date: 30 June 2026
At 3D Print It, we aim to manufacture and deliver your order as quickly and safely as possible. As many of our products are custom-made, production times may vary depending on the complexity of your order.
This Shipping Policy explains how we process, dispatch, and deliver orders placed through https://3dprintit.co.nz.
1. Order Processing
Once your order has been placed and payment has been received (where payment is required upfront), we will begin processing your order.
Before production begins, we may contact you if:

Production will generally not begin until any outstanding issues have been resolved.

Estimated production times displayed on our website or provided during quoting are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
Large commercial or bulk orders may require additional production time.
