Ordering & bulk discounts
Do I need to order a minimum quantity?
You can order individual items. Bulk discounts start at 5 pieces of the same product, with further tiers at 10, 20 and 50+ pieces.
Can I mix colours and sizes for bulk pricing?
Yes. Different colours and sizes of the same product count together towards its bulk discount. Different products or styles do not combine: three tees and two polos will not qualify as five pieces of one product. Discounts apply automatically, with the available tiers shown on the product page.
Can you help me choose uniforms for my team?
Absolutely. Tell us about your venue, the roles you’re kitting out and the look you’re after. Email info@cafewear.co.nz for help choosing practical options.
Shipping & delivery
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within New Zealand only.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is a flat $10 per order, with free shipping on orders over $300.
When will my order be dispatched?
Unbranded orders are normally dispatched directly from our suppliers within 1–2 business days. If you need printing or embroidery, we’ll confirm the production and dispatch timeframe with your branding quote.
How long does delivery take?
After dispatch, allow approximately 1–3 business days for standard addresses or 2–5 business days for rural addresses. These are estimated transit times, separate from dispatch or branding time.
Sizing, colours & choosing a style
How do I choose the right size?
Check the sizing and fit information for the individual product, as sizing can vary between styles and suppliers. Don’t assume your size will be identical across the whole range. If you’re unsure, email us with the product name and the sizes or measurements you’re comparing before ordering.
What do Mens, Womens and Unisex mean?
These filters help you find the garment cut you’re looking for. Unisex styles are designed for a shared fit; always check the individual product’s sizing and fit information.
How do I find matching men’s, women’s or sleeve styles?
Where a genuine matching style is available, look for the companion-style links in the product description. These help you coordinate different cuts or sleeve lengths across your team. Each companion style is a separate product for bulk-pricing purposes.
Are colour swatches an exact colour match?
Swatches help you compare the available colours, but screens, lighting and fabric textures can affect their appearance. Review the product images too, and contact us before ordering if a precise colour match is important.
What does the fabric filter tell me?
The fabric filter groups similar materials to make browsing easier. For the exact blend, fabric weight and care instructions, check the individual product description.
Printing & embroidery
Can you add our logo?
Yes, we can arrange garment branding. Email info@cafewear.co.nz with your logo, preferred garments, quantities and placement ideas. We’ll confirm suitable branding options, pricing and lead times before you proceed.
Should I check sizing before having garments branded?
Yes. Please confirm the style, colour and sizing before approving branding. Printed or embroidered garments cannot be returned for a change of mind or incorrect sizing. This does not affect your rights if an item is faulty.
Returns & exchanges
Can I return an item or exchange a size?
For a sizing or change-of-mind return, contact us within 14 business days of delivery. Items must be unworn, unwashed, unbranded and in their original packaging, with all tags attached. They must be neatly folded and in resaleable condition. Please contact us for return authorisation and instructions before sending anything back.
Who pays return shipping?
Customers cover return shipping for sizing or change-of-mind returns. If an item is confirmed faulty or was supplied incorrectly, we’ll arrange the appropriate remedy and cover reasonable return shipping costs.
Is there a repacking fee?
A per-item repacking fee may apply to a sizing or change-of-mind return if the garments are not neatly folded or returned in their original packaging. Any applicable fee will be confirmed when we authorise your return. Please keep packaging and tags intact to avoid unnecessary charges.
Can I return branded or clearance items?
Custom-branded, printed, embroidered and clearance items cannot be returned for a change of mind or incorrect sizing. Faulty-item rights still apply.
What if my order is faulty, damaged or incorrect?
Email info@cafewear.co.nz with your order number, a description of the issue and clear photos where possible. We’ll help resolve it, including a repair, replacement or refund as appropriate. The 14-business-day change-of-mind window and repacking conditions do not limit your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act where it applies.
