First post!

Some other options are available, such as oat for similar price.

Almond 4 packs (48 cartons) = ~NZ$97.68 delivered (NZ$2.04 per carton)

Extra potential discounts:
* 10% off with Subscribe and save
* $20aud voucher with offer check offers

Offers may be targeted. I had a few. One was $20aud by watching a show or movie on a free Prime video trial.

Oat milk is a similar price. 3 oat cartons was just shy of the free shipping threshold, so I added a small item. Before adding, check the offers page to enrol in any, as I had a $20aud voucher offer after making first purchase of an item in a few categories.

Total order price after subscribe and save, $20 AUD voucher from prime video, for 36 oat cartons and a small filler item to reach free shipping threshold was $47.07 NZD.

Effective price for oat: $1.30 NZD per carton

Bonus is that after order ships, another $20 voucher will be available too thanks to the small filler item.

  • When I follow your link to 'offers' it says:

    Sorry, you are not eligible for this offer.

    Note the singular, implying that this is some specific offer I guess?

    Is there a way to get to 'offers' from the web interface?

    • Perhaps they are targeted. I’ve tried this in web and app: https://www.amazon.com.au/cer/landing

      Which has several offers for me, each with $20aud vouchers, such as:
      - Prime Video - Stream your first movie or TV show
      - Office - Make your first eligible order
      - Home Improvement - Make your first eligible order

      • Are you a prime member?

        • Yes but only joined with a trial through one of the offers (Prime Video), so offers were visible before prime. So those offers seem targeted but unsure how unfortunately

  • More options below

    Look for FREE delivery Thu, 10 Sept to New Zealand on $59 (NZD 71.36) of eligible items just above Add to cart button.

    • Look for FREE delivery Thu, 10 Sept to New Zealand on $59 (NZD 71.36) of eligible items just above Add to cart button.

      For me at least, that isn't 'clickable'. Do you know if there is some way to see all such offers?

      • That's standard message for free delivery to NZ. It is not clickable and probably those offers are available to all.

        • Okay. Thought there might be a way to see all such offers, but if there is, I can't find it.

  • How nice is this milk vs other brands of almond or oat milk?

    • My partner is vegan and I will often use oat milk. She will drink almost any plant milk. I'm more picky and put most brands into the 'can't taste the difference ' category. A small number 'yuck' due to their choice of added oil (I think). A very small number, 'maybe nicer'. All of the Vitasoy line falls into 'can't taste the difference'. Good brand.

      • Pretty much all commercial plant milks will have oils, especially the barista ones.

        • Vitasoy Protein Plus Soy Milk 1l

          filtered water, Australian whole soybeans (minimum 19%), mineral (calcium phosphate), natural flavour, and sea salt.

      • We used to buy Macro Organic Rice Milk which was nice (and cheap at the time), but after while they had a bad batch or something, with gritty stuff in the liquid. I returned batch of purchases to woolies. While they did accept the return, they made it such an ordeal that we'd rather not go through it again.
        So we bailed on that brand and now just use Vitasoy (which usually means buying at Packnsave). Not had any issues with Vitasoy thus far.

    • I use vitasoy almond unsweetened, it is bit watery compared to others like there Milky version. But I like to have minimum added stuff to it and almond content is higher. Some like to have thick milk. It's more like personal preference and everyone has different taste. You can get one from local store and try out before ordering in bulk.
      There is NO best brand out there.

  • Anyone had this arrive and know the shelf life of these?

    • Maybe not helpful to you, but these Vitasoy milks at the local supermarket usually have ~1y BBF.

      Usually stuff I've bought from Amazon have pretty good BBF dates, but have no first hand experience on this specific item from Amazon.

      • at the local supermarket usually have ~1y BBF.

        That's because the supermarkets tell their suppliers that they want anything that is not perishable to have a Best Before date at least 12 months out when delivered to the store.

        For the most part, they seem to be relaxed if it's eleven months :-)

        The simplest way to put a BB Date on goods is just to add 12 months to the production date (as long as you don't hold stock in your production / warehouse very long, since that also trivially tells you the production date if you ever need to know. Obviously not for something where the shelf life is a lot less, but I've known producers whose product would be good for years just print 12 months out for simplicity.

    • Just got some of the milks, most of mine have BB date of 06/2027

  • Just heads up to people, this may stop shipping to NZ soon. Often I find these great deals on Amazon, but after a few weeks the free shipping (to NZ) disappears never to be seen again. Especially with heavy or bulky items, such as these.

    • Yeah I remember getting a whole heap of toilet paper delivered from amazon for free. Theres no way they made money with the shipping being free.

      • Damn, lucky, I tried to find some cheap free shipping toulit paper from Amazon a while ago, no luck.

        Also, looks like Amazon has removed free shipping for all the Vitasoy milks.

    • Not surprised it weights about 50kg!

  • Not to be that guy… but what's the carbon emission cost of shipping this from AU instead of buying local?

    • Probably a little bit higher than normal due to not being packed and stacked as efficiently as it would in bulk, but it's made there, so that's going to be a factor regardless if you buy this brand.

    • A large portion of the emission are in the production of the almonds already. The main difference is in air freight vs sea freight from Australia to New Zealand. I reckon the whole emissions for each from production to store/delivery is double.

      • I reckon the whole emissions for each from production to store/delivery is double.

        Double what? The overall total emissions if you buy it in store in NZ?

  • Everyone ordering this brace yourself for the parcel being flagged for biosecurity. As invoice mentions milk it is automatically flagged.

    My 3 parcels are showing ** MPI Import Entry required**. I have emailed details to [email protected]. I hope that's correct email last time nzpost gave me wrong email for customs clearance.

    • Thanks. Hopefully they cotton on quick enough and start passing them through without proof. I've had no issues ordering this from Amazon in the past but it has been a wee while (as they stopped the free shipping)

    • I had no idea when this happened to me, asked live chat to resolve it after the estimated delivery date and they just sent me a replacement order because it was past that and said just keep parcel 1 if it turned up eventually.

      parcels 1 and 2 were then both stuck in MPI, sent both invoices and received both lol.

      • Where did you sent the invoices to?

        • same email as you, you did the right thing as far as I can see.

          • @Dunno: Did you get any response after sending the invoices ? How long did it take for them to release the parcel after the email?

            It's been 3 days and I haven't received any comms or updates.

      • …asked live chat to resolve it after the estimated delivery date…

        How do you know the estimated delivery date?

        I might have missed it, but I looked in the order screen, and the invoice screen, but I can't seem to find it?

        • Your order email that starts with Ordered: should have the date in it if you cant see it on amazon

          • @Dunno:

            Your order email that starts with Ordered: should have the date in it if you cant see it on amazon

            You are, of course, absolutely right.

            I should have thought of looking at the email.

            Few days to go before my order is due to arrive….

            Thanks!

            • @Alan6984: My order passed customs/biosecurity with no issues and got delivered today (2 days earlier than estimated delivery date)

              • @mpc:

                My order passed customs/biosecurity with no issues and got delivered today (2 days earlier than estimated delivery date)

                Maybe after having to deal with @ace310, they decided it just isn't worth the hassle :-)

                • @Alan6984: Lol. I have got 2x$20 gift card from amazon. Would have got full refund on first contact but I didn't read the messages properly as got call in between. So far 1 package is cleared other 2 are still in same state. Amazon said they will refund if they are still not delivered till 8th.

                  • @ace310:

                    I have got 2x$20 gift card from amazon.

                    <VBG> Now I'm hoping mine get caught up too!

                    • @Alan6984: Lol. You should read the another drama here

                      • @ace310:

                        You should read the another drama here

                        Hmm..

                        I'm revising my thinking on this.

                        I'm now wondering if it has nothing to do with the shipment being 'milk', but rather the consignee that has triggered the red warning lights, and a full on NZ Customs Investigation by their 'Persons of Interest' department.

                  • @ace310: Yeah Amazon is great for stuff like this when things get held up/lost, they as the sender should be dealing with informing MPI of the package contents not the buyers.

                    Even if you get the refund/s you could send the mpi email the invoice and they would release it, unethical but amazon tell you to keep the parcel if it ever turns up..

    • My four x 12 packs turned up with no (obvious at least) bio-security delay.

      Maybe @ace310 took one for the team, and after that the rest went through okay.

      • My 2 packages are still stuck. And amazon is telling me to wait till 11th before they can refund in case it gets delivered.

        • Bugger!

        • Thats really weird, I would send MPI another email and attach the invoice to it again.

          • @Dunno: I have sent the email 3 times now. Only got one response as below. I plan to get the refund tomorrow and forget about it. If the parcels arrive so be it. Done with chasing NZ post. Not worth my time.

            Thank you for providing the invoices.
            I can confirm that the required documents have been received and your shipment has now been lodged for MPI assessment. The parcel is currently undergoing the MPI clearance process.
            Please note that MPI clearance can take approximately 1–3 working days, excluding the final delivery timeframe, depending on MPI's workload.
            At this stage, no further information is required from you. We will continue to monitor the clearance process and will contact you if MPI requests any additional documentation.
            Thank you for your patience and understanding.

          • @Dunno: @Alan6984 Both packages arrived today, when I was going to ask for refund. Right on cue.

            • @ace310:

              Both packages arrived today, when I was going to ask for refund. Right on cue.

              They were toying with you!

              Glad you (they) got there in the end :-)

      • It would definitely seem so
