All NZ orders are shipped internationally from Australia using Australia Post International. Delivery typically takes 5–10 business days after dispatch.
Once your parcel has been collected, please monitor your tracking link for updates.
SHIPPING, DISPATCH and DELIVERY
Dispatch vs Delivery — What’s the Difference?
Dispatch is when your order leaves our warehouse in Australia. Delivery is when your order arrives at your NZ address.
These are two separate timeframes.
Standard Order Dispatch Timelines
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2 business days, unless a different timeline is listed on the product page.
Dispatch refers only to the time it takes for us to prepare and hand over your order to the courier. It does not include delivery time
- Peak Periods: During peak sale times (such as Black Friday or holiday periods), order dispatch can take up to 4 business days.
- Delays: If there is an anticipated delay in dispatching your order, we will notify you as soon as possible via the email address provided at checkout.
- Delivery & Tracking: Once the courier has collected your order, delivery timeframes are at their discretion. We are unable to control external delivery factors. Please monitor the tracking link emailed to you for the latest updates on your shipment.
Packs
The usual dispatch timeline for packs is 14 business days for your order to leave our Australian warehouse. During peak periods (such as season commencement), these timelines may extend.
If the product page lists a different dispatch or production timeframe, that information takes priority.
We do our best to notify you if dispatch is expected to exceed 14 business days. During busy periods, updates may be provided directly to your club.
Delivery to NZ: Once dispatched, pack orders are shipped via Australia Post International, with delivery taking 5–10 business days.
Backorders
If a locally produced item within your pack is out of stock, it will be placed on backorder. We will email you an estimated time of arrival, which may be up to three months depending on production and supplier availability. If you prefer not to wait for a backordered item, you are welcome to Contact Us for a pro rata refund for that component of the pack.
Delivery to NZ: Once dispatched, pack orders are shipped via Australia Post International, with delivery taking 5–10 business days.
Combined Orders & Split Shipping
If your order contains a mix of standard items and sublimated gear, your entire order will be held and shipped together once the sublimated items are ready. This means your whole order will take up to 6 weeks to arrive.
If you require the in-stock or non-sublimated items to be delivered earlier, please Contact Us. At the sole discretion of our business, we may be able to arrange split shipping. Please note that an additional shipping fee will apply to cover the extra delivery costs.
Returned to Sender & Reshipping
Customers are responsible for ensuring that all delivery details provided at checkout are complete and accurate, including a valid delivery address, email address and contact phone number.
If an order is returned to us by the courier due to an incomplete or incorrect address, failed delivery attempts, or missing contact details, the order will be held at our Australian warehouse. We will make reasonable attempts to contact the customer using the email address provided at checkout to arrange reshipment.
- Reshipping Fees: If the customer requests the order to be resent, a reshipping fee will apply to cover the additional delivery costs. This fee must be paid before the order is resent.
- Unclaimed Orders: If we do not receive a response, updated delivery details, or payment of the reshipping fee within 21 business days of contacting the customer, the order may be returned to stock, resold, or otherwise handled in accordance with our storage and handling processes. In these circumstances, a refund will not be available.
CUSTOM UNIFORMS AND CLUB APPROVED ITEMS
Uniform & Sublimated Items Production Timeline
Custom-made items follow a strict production schedule and typically take approximately 6 weeks to complete.
If you’re unsure whether your item is sublimated, please Contact Us before ordering.
Limited stock may occasionally be available and dispatched sooner, but you should always allow the standard 6‑week production timeframe.
Delivery to NZ: Once produced, custom items ship from Australia via Australia Post International (5–10 business days).
Player Number Requests & Allocation
Customers may request a preferred player number when ordering a playing uniform. All requests are subject to club review and approval to avoid clashes within the team, age group, or playing group.
iAthletic does not allocate, approve, reserve, or manage player numbers. We collect order details, send number requests to the relevant club for approval, and forward approved orders for production.
If a requested number is unavailable or not approved, the club may allocate an alternative number. If no number is requested, the club may allocate one on the customer’s behalf.
Any concerns about number allocation must be discussed directly with the club. Once a uniform has been approved and sent for production, changes may not be possible and any replacement may be subject to standard production timelines and applicable costs.
If an incorrect number is produced due to an iAthletic processing error, we will review the order, liaise with the club where required, and arrange an appropriate resolution in line with Australian Consumer Law.
Playing Uniform Size Exchanges
For playing uniforms ordered in the incorrect size, an exchange may be possible if we have suitable spare stock available. As playing uniforms include player numbers, customers may need to be flexible with the replacement number to ensure there are no clashes within the team and that the club approves the allocation.
If a customer requires a different size with the same player number and suitable stock is not available, a new uniform will need to be ordered and produced. Standard custom production timelines apply, which may take approximately 6 weeks.
Cancelation of Custom Uniform Orders
If a customer cancels a custom or sublimated uniform order while it is still in production, they may be eligible for a refund. Please Contact Us as soon as possible so we can review the order status and confirm the available options.
Delivery to NZ: Exchange items and newly produced uniforms ship from Australia via Australia Post International (5–10 business days).
Personalised & Customer-Specific Items
Items personalised specifically for you, such as; names, initials, player numbers, or sponsor additions, are not eligible for change-of-mind returns, exchanges or refunds.
Standard club-branded items may still be eligible for return or exchange if they are in brand-new resalable condition and meet our return requirements.
