We seek to be as transparent as possible about how we use the information you supply to us. You can read about what personal data we collect and what we do with it by reading our Privacy Policy.

2. Ordering

To help make it simple to enjoy your favourite coffee we offer you the opportunity to create an account for any online purchases. You need to make sure your account information is accurate and keep it up to date, so we bill and ship to the right place. We will try to keep your account details safe and we ask you to do the same. You know what we mean – don’t let others use your account, do not share your username and password and protect your device appropriately.

If you place an order, we reserve the right at any time to decline the order, we will let you know why and seek to find the best alternate solution for you if this very rare circumstance occurs. We will refund all monies received in relation to a cancelled order.

We do our best to give accurate pictures and descriptions of products on our website, but remember that everyone’s screen is different, so items might look a bit different in real life, and colours might vary slightly from how they look on screen.

Our website is built using WordPress' platform with an integrated webstore using Woocommerce’s ecommerce plugin and Stripe Payments for secure payment processing, these platforms allow us to sell great coffee for you to sip, share and enjoy.

3. Payment and Security

We use Stripe for your payments. Stripe uses data encryption and real-time fraud prevention technology to keep your information secure, reducing the risk of online fraud. We pay a fee to the payment processor on each transaction, and rely on their expertise in secure payment processing, allowing us to stick to what we do best, delivering on the bold & punchy flavours in your coffee.

We supply our freshly roasted coffee to offices nationwide.

Any business can qualify to be an office account providing they submit an application form and are approved by our internal teams. Office accounts do not have the right to on-sell our coffee, and must regularly purchase a one kilo minimum of coffee.

We have the right to cease your office wholesale supply if you do not consent to these terms.

5. Shipping

Please see our Shipping Policy for more information.

6. Refund Policy

We want you to enjoy your coffee so if you have any concerns or things weren’t what you expected then please let us know. We don’t generally offer refunds for change of mind or because something isn’t to your taste, however if there is a quality issue we will make it right. We’ll always meet our legal obligations around refunds and returns.

All orders received are final and goods or service will be shipped as per the order form, so please make sure you double-check your address. If it’s too late though and you see a mistake, drop us a line and we will do our best to make the change for you. Alternatively, if you receive your order and something is amiss, contact our dispatch team through the details on the bottom of your order email. We will handle errors on a case-by-case basis.

We do ask that you raise any issues promptly with us. If you don’t do this, we might not be able to offer a refund, especially if the delay means we can’t verify the problem.

Underground Coffee Roasters supplies coffee within New Zealand. If you live outside this region and would like to place an order please contact us on coffee@undergroundcoffee.co.nz in the first instance, and we will seek to find a solution that works for you.

Some orders might incur a customs or import duty, we are afraid to say we don’t have any control over these and don’t cover them in our shipping rate, these charges would be separate charges that you may need to meet. To ensure you have all your ducks in a row we encourage you to contact your local customs office.
