The Mall terms and conditions;
our Acceptable Use Policy; and
our Privacy Policy,

(together, the Terms) and will apply from the earlier of the date that you first indicate your acceptance of these Terms and the date on which you first use The Mall.

1.2 Introduction to The Mall

We operate The Mall as an online marketplace to enable you to shop with a number of different retailers at one time and in one convenient location, and to place your order once within a single checkout.

The Mall International is an online shopping experience offering you the ability to purchase a range of items at duty and/or tax free prices from a selection of approved retailers and collect these items at designated Collection Points as you depart from or arrive into Auckland Airport (an International Collection).

The Mall Domestic is an online shopping experience that offers you the ability to purchase a range of items at duty and/or tax inclusive prices and collect these items at designated Collection Point in the Domestic terminal (a Domestic Collection).

Our Retailers will list a range of items in either or both experiences to make available to you, and are responsible for providing you with all the necessary information ( such as product descriptions, images and prices) to support your purchasing decision. All prices stated are in New Zealand dollars.

Where you make an International Collection the prices reflect the Retailer’s current duty free and tax free price or promotional price for an item. Where you make a Domestic Collection, the prices for an item reflect the Retailer's current price inclusive of any duties and taxes.

All payments are managed by our payment gateway partners, Paymark and ePayments and any purchase you make will be processed directly by them with the relevant Retailer(s).

As such, you acknowledge and agree that:

we are responsible for the online shopping experiences, the supporting marketplace ecommerce platform, facilitating order delivery and pick-up at one of our Collection Points, our marketing communications and certain shared aspects of The Mall customer service.
we are not responsible for the items offered, any promotions offered by each Retailer, the conduct of the particular Retailer offering those items, any tax or duty in relation to the items or related administrative obligations, the Retailer’s specific policies (such as returns and refunds) or the management of your payment.

You must make full and prompt payment using a valid credit/debit card or payment wallet for all items that you intend to purchase at the time of purchase.

All payments are managed securely by our payment gateway partners, Paymark and ePayments, and any purchase you make will be processed directly between yourself and the relevant Retailer. We are not party to these transactions.

2.3 Allowances and concessions

If you are an international traveller arriving into New Zealand through our international terminal you are entitled to bring into New Zealand a certain amount/value of goods that are free of Customs duty and exempt Goods and Services tax (GST). This is called your duty free allowance and personal goods concession. You may be liable for Customs charges if you exceed the New Zealand quantity or value limits on arrival into New Zealand. Your purchases may also be confiscated at the overseas airport(s) you are travelling to, so we recommend you check the duty free allowance and personal goods concession for the country you are travelling to. You acknowledge it is your responsibility to understand these limits and any liquids, aerosol or gel security restrictions.

If you are a domestic traveller then you are not entitled to any duty free allowance and personal goods concession.

For more information on the duty free allowance and personal goods concession and the circumstances in which you may be entitled to it, visit the New Zealand Customs Service website at https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/travel-to-and-from-nz/duty-free-shopping/.

2.4 Collections and flights

Collection: Your orders must be picked up at one of our Collection Points. The relevant Collection Point will differ depending on whether you are making an International Collection or a Domestic Collection.

When you collect your order you will need to show a copy of your order confirmation and if you are making an International Collection, a copy of your passport and if you are making a Domestic Collection, valid photo ID. You will be asked to inspect your items and sign for your order to confirm acceptance.

If you are making an International Collection, you will not be entitled to collect your goods in our domestic terminal unless your items are available for collection from our domestic terminal and until you have made any additional payments that would have been required if you had undertaken to make a Domestic Collection.

Flight updates: It is essential that you promptly tell us if your flight details or flight time has changed so we can update your order or if you miss collecting you order so we can arrange a return and refund with the Retailer.

2.5 Promotions

These terms and conditions apply to those promotions where you must redeem a promotional code as part of the offer:
