Frequently asked questions

About 26-36 days at sea from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva) to Auckland, plus inland and clearance time (estimate).

Can you deliver cotton bed linen door-to-door in Auckland?
Yes on DAP terms through partner forwarders, provided the importer of record in New Zealand handles customs clearance.
Does a higher thread count mean better sheets?
Not always. Yarn quality (long-staple, combed) and weave matter as much. Very high counts often use multi-ply yarns.
Percale or sateen?
Percale is a plain weave: crisp and cool. Sateen is a satin weave: smoother with a sheen, slightly warmer.
