Frozen Ready Meal Delivery NZ
Delicious & Done delivers frozen ready meals across New Zealand, all major and regional towns/cities and rural delivery areas in both the North and South Island. Our meals are cooked in Whangārei, snap-frozen, then packed carefully for courier delivery to your door.
How delivery works
Your meals are sent frozen in a recyclable cardboard box with gel ice packs and eco wool insulation. We use the trusted NZ Post network to help ensure smooth, reliable delivery across New Zealand.
Most customers receive their order overnight after dispatch, while Rural Delivery addresses can take up to 2 working days.
- All orders — including Rural Delivery and the South Island: dispatched Monday to Thursday.
- Cut-off: orders placed by 12pm (midday) on a dispatch day are sent that afternoon; orders placed after 12pm go out on the next dispatch day.
- Friday–Sunday: we don't send orders, so orders received after 12pm Thursday through to Sunday will ship on Monday.
- Public holidays: dispatch may be adjusted to avoid meals being delayed in the courier network.
You'll always see your exact delivery cost at checkout before you pay.
Can I choose a delivery day?
Yes. Choose your delivery date at checkout by adding it in the comments field — perfect if you are planning meals for the week, stocking the freezer, or sending a gift to someone else.
Can I order meals for a friend or family member?
Yes. You can send Delicious & Done meals directly to a friend, family member, new parent, older relative, or anyone who could use a freezer full of easy dinners. Just use their delivery address at checkout, and add a message in the comments if you'd like us to include a hand-written card.
Do I need to be home?
No. You do not need to be home when your meals arrive. Your box can be left safely at your doorstep, workplace or chosen delivery address. Our boxes are tested to hold a safe temperature for 55 hours in transit, so they can happily sit on your doorstep during the day until you get home.
Delivery updates
You will receive email notifications when your order is picked up, when it is out for delivery, and once it has been delivered. This makes it easy to keep track of your box and get the meals into the freezer when you can.
When your meals arrive
When your order arrives, place your meals straight into the freezer. Keep frozen until you are ready to thaw, reheat and enjoy. Once thawed, keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days.
Why we dispatch early in the week
Frozen food needs careful handling, so we send orders on set dispatch days to reduce the risk of boxes sitting with couriers over a weekend or public holiday. This helps your meals arrive in the best possible condition.
