PUMA New Zealand proudly announced that all new orders will be shipped from its new Auckland distribution location. It has been guaranteed that this PUMA centre will slash prices for customers.
The centre, which opened in late March, officially marked the growth of PUMA's local footprint.
"Opening a local distribution centre is an exciting advancement for PUMA New Zealand.
We're looking forward to getting closer to our New Zealand customers and offering them the best of PUMA with an elevated service and shopping experience," said Daniel Pustina,
Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand.
The brand has tailored its local offering to the needs of the New Zealand market. This was done by purchasing data history from the past eight years, ensuring the initial product offering provides the best representation of what Kiwi customers are shopping for.
Localising the distribution centre will drastically improve e-commerce delivery times, with a three to five day nationwide improvement. Auckland orders are expected to be as fast as next-day delivery, with a maximum of three days.
Return and refund times are also set to improve. Quality checks will be performed on-site rather than sent back to Australia, decreasing return and delivery fees.
"We feel proud to be loved across Aotearoa and have heard our customer's feedback regarding our e-commerce store," continued Pustina.
"Announcing today that we are committed to developing our presence within the New Zealand market is a milestone achievement for our team."
Aside from PUMA's new opening, the company's partnerships with Athletics New Zealand, the Silver Ferns, and the New Zealand Football Federation have strengthened. PUMA also looks forward to the upcoming Summer Olympics, where Kiwi athletes will be represented by PUMA New Zealand.
