"The Government has announced New Zealand will move out of Alert Level 4 lockdown at 11.59pm on Monday 27 April. We are still in Alert Level 4 until then.

We will hold at Alert Level 3 for two weeks, before Cabinet reviews how we are tracking and makes further decisions on 11 May.

At Alert Level 3 we will need to be even more vigilant. All of us will need to unite against COVID-19 by sticking to the rules."

10.30am, Thursday 26th March, 2020

Our website will still be available for purchases, however your purchases will not be dispatched until the NZ Government relaxes the Lockdown.

You will receive a receipt via email and your purchase will be packaged ready for the courier, however it will not be collected until we have received confirmation that couriers can return to normal service rather than just delivery of Essential products. 

You will also be emailed once your package has been collected, with your Track and Trace number. Please note that as this will be a busy time for the couriers once this does happen, delays are possible. 

 

 

10.30am, Tues 24th March, 2020

As per the PM's announcement yesterday, we will be closed from 5pm Wednesday 25th March.

- If you wish to pick up any completed repair jobs, you must do so before then.
- Our Facebook and Website will still be operational and monitored, and our phone messages will be checked periodically.
- Our Website will still be available to make purchases from if you have a special event coming up during Lockdown. This is reliant on our couriers, so you will be notified of any changes/delays.
- Any changes to this, and our reopening, will be advised on our Facebook Page, here on our Website and via Email.

Please ensure you take care of yourself and your family, stay safe, and together we’ll get through these next 4 weeks with our health and well-being intact.

Sincerely, Westende Jewellers.
