Rural Address? We are the grocery delivery service for you !

Many of our rural customers are struggling with the quality, selection and price of groceries.

Many of our rural customers express frustration with the limited selection, subpar quality, and lack of affordable grocery options they often encounter at local grocery stores or with other grocery delivery services. This can make it challenging to maintain a healthy and affordable diet, especially for those living in remote areas. We understand these struggles, which is why we've decided to expand our product list beyond just high-quality meat. Currently, we offer a selection of drinks, sauces, seasonings, and more. But that's not all! We're actively working with a network of small suppliers to bring you an even wider range of delicious and beautiful products. If you live rurally and can't find what you need, don't hesitate to reach out! Simply email us at pierre@themeatmerchant.co.nz and let us know what you're looking for. Together, we can support New Zealand's thriving small businesses and keep our rural families nourished and thriving!

We believe that our classes are perfect for hunters, chefs, rural communities, butchers looking to expand on their current skills and anybody else wanting to learn about the art of butchery. Below we have listed some of the options we have available however these can be customized to the individual needs of the class.

Delivery Information

We offer overnight delivery to all urban addresses across the North and South Islands through New Zealand Couriers. To check if your address is classified as urban (non-rural), please visit New Zealand Couriers Address Checker.

Due to the perishable nature of our products, we can only guarantee delivery to addresses accessible via overnight courier. While we can deliver to rural addresses upon request, we cannot ensure overnight delivery and are not liable for any product that becomes compromised or spoiled due to delays associated with rural delivery. For rural addresses, orders will be frozen and dispatched the following Monday.

If you live in a rural area, you can have your package delivered to an alternate urban location, such as your workplace, a friend’s address, or a local business. Simply list that location as the delivery address.

Alternatively, you can choose to have your order delivered to the nearest New Zealand Couriers depot or agent for collection. To find your closest depot, visit New Zealand Couriers Nearest Location Finder.
