Tracking information
Havana House uses Courier Post’s eShip facility to notify customers of tracking information for their orders. These are sent from the email address sales@havanahouse.co.nz. Unfortunately due to the automated nature of these emails, they regularly trigger Spam Policy Filters by I.S.P.s and email servers. To avoid this, please ensure you add our address to your contacts with your email provider so as to prevent your tracking information being marked as spam or junk mail.
Lost Orders

Where redirection is available, we will at our discretion arrange for the original order to be redirected to the intended recipient, or choose to issue a replacement order to be sent to the recipient should redirection take longer.
