NZ Outdoor Furniture Delivery Costs: Your Guide to Shipping Fees

So you’ve found the perfect powder-coated aluminium outdoor furniture or outdoor umbrella from us for your outdoor space, and now you’re wondering, “How much does it cost to get this beautiful new set/umbrella to my place?” That’s one of the most common questions we get, and we believe in being completely transparent about it.

At Outside Space NZ, we’re dedicated to making the delivery process as clear and straightforward as possible, no matter where you are in New Zealand. Here’s a breakdown of how our delivery costs are calculated and what you can expect.

What Determines the Delivery Cost?

The cost of your outdoor furniture delivery depends on a few key factors:

1. Product Volume (in Cubic Metres): A large, multi-piece lounge suite will cost more to ship than a small side table. Our powder-coated aluminium outdoor furniture is robust and transports easily- plus we are very experienced at packaging it up exceptionally well.
2. Delivery Location: Costs vary significantly based on your address. We’ve created an indicative pricing table below for major centres, but a rural address or a specific street might require a custom quote.
3. Delivery Method: For locations such as Whangarei, Hamilton, Rotorua, and Tauranga, ( roughly a two-hour radius around Auckland) our own team handles the delivery, which helps us keep your delivery cost down and ensures a high level of care. For all other outdoor furniture delivery locations across New Zealand, we work with trusted transport partners.

Indicative Delivery Costs for Your Outside Space NZ Furniture

To give you an idea of the delivery cost, here are some sample delivery prices for our 3-piece Unwind outdoor sofa suite: 3-seater, single chair and coffee table. These are the estimated costs for a standard delivery to a central (non-rural) address and are valid for Summer 2025/26.

Once we have your delivery address, we can 100% confirm the delivery cost, but this will give you a good idea.

Please note: these estimates were calculated using a central address for each location. The final cost may vary slightly based on your specific delivery address and the exact products you order.

Common Delivery Questions:

Q:I live beyond a 2-hour radius of Auckland and when I check out online is says “I live outside Auckland, and will pay the shipping cost separately with Outside Space”. What do I do?

A.Just call us or email hello@outside space with your address and the items you would like to purchase and we will give you a 100% accurate shipping quote. You can proceed and buy online and pay the shipping portion via a separate invoice, or we can email an invoice to you for the whole amount, including shipping. 

Q: I live rurally. Can you deliver to my door?

A: Absolutely. All we need is an address to get a quote. We can also quote the delivery to your nearest depot as it will be less costly, as long as you can pick up from there.

Q: How do I get an accurate quote for my specific order?

A: The best way to get an exact delivery cost for outdoor table or a full lounge suite is to simply get in touch with us! Once we have your full delivery address and your product list, we can provide you with a precise quote quickly. 

Q: Do you deliver throughout New Zealand?

A: Yes, we do! Our goal is to get our high-quality aluminium outdoor furniture to your home, whether you’re in Auckland, Christchurch, or anywhere in between. We’ve built relationships with trusted freight partners to ensure we can offer outdoor furniture delivery NZ-wide.

Q:Can I use my own carrier to transport a purchase from Outside Space?

A:Yes, you can. However, it’s important to understand the difference in responsibility.

• When we or our trusted third-party carrier handle the delivery, we are responsible for any damage that occurs during transport. In most cases, we retrieve/replace the damaged piece.
• If you use your own carrier, you will need to check their policy on damaged goods, as we will not be responsible for any issues that may arise during shipping. You may need to make a claim with your carrier for the cost of replacement.

This option clarifies the key difference in liability and helps the customer make an informed decision.

If you have any further questions or are ready for a precise quote, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to provide you with peace-of-mind and ensure your delivery experience is worry-free.
