FAQs

How long will my order take to arrive?

We strive to get all NZ orders received before 3:00pm dispatched same day with overnight courier (NZ Couriers tracked package) so you can receive the following morning. Realistically this is not always possible and many orders take an extra day or few to dispatch. International orders are dispatched in 1-5 working days and generally take about 7 days to arrive, although some countries may take up to 21 days. We will contact you if we can not get your order shipped within 5 working days. Once you submit an order, please allow us a few days to do our job and process yours and our other customers orders. We regret we are unable to give further updates during the first 3 days after you submit your order.

Where is my order?

If you have submitted an order to us please rest assured we have received and are processing it for you as fast as we can. Once you submit an order, please allow us a few days to do our job and process it for you. We regret that due to the high volume of orders we need to process we are unable to give "Where's my order?" updates within the first few days of receiving your order. Being the squeaky bearing and making excessive noise after placing your order will not get you bumped up the queue or get you your order sent out any faster. In fact this only slows down everyone's orders. Please be patient and allow us to serve you.

Will my order be packaged discreetly?

Yes, we offer stealth delivery. We dispatch all orders in standard postal bags which only list our P O box as a return address. For international orders we use our low key background company name. We care about your privacy and pride ourselves providing a super-discreet service.

Will my personal details be kept safe and confidential?

Yes. We value our customers and pride ourselves on offering a super-discreet service. We may keep some basic customer information on file for the likes of tax purposes and order fulfillment, however this information will never be shared with third parties. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

Are your products legal in my country?

It is impossible for us to check the law in all countries for all of our products. It is your responsibility to check your local laws regarding the import of products sold by MindFuel. If in doubt, always consult your customs service and/or lawyer before placing an order. Do not order products that may be illegal in your country.

We do not accept returns on perishable goods such as herbs, plants or seeds due to risk of contamination.

Do you have / where is your offline retail store?

As of late January 2013 we are no longer operating any offline stores. This is so we can concentrate full-time on online orders and customer service, as well as new product development. Previously, from 2004 to 2013 we operated a retail smartshop located at 91A Devon st west, New Plymouth 4310, New Zealand. While we had a fantastic time running the shop it was leaving us with increasingly limited time to spend running our primary business, which has always been our online store and distribution. While we no longer have a brick and mortar store we may pop-up from time to time at select events. You may also find some of our products in various retail stores we supply around the country.
