Payments
Payment start date
Once you have placed your order, payments via Direct Debit and BPAY will start on the date you selected. Payments by Credit Card will be debited on the 15th of every month.
Payments on Public Holidays
Your Direct Debit payment will come out the next working day. Please note that Chrisco is located in Auckland, therefore we observe Auckland Anniversary (We still collect payments on Auckland Anniversary). If you wish to skip a payment on a public holiday, or on the day after, you will need to let us know before midday on the working day prior.
Missed payments
If you miss a payment we will automatically recalculate and slightly increase your future payments so that your order is fully paid by the Final Payment Date. If several payments are missed, we will reduce your order to make the remaining payments easier. We are not responsible for your bank charges if payments fail. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee of $3.50 if a payment fails.
If you are unable to keep paying, we will reduce your order to the amount you have already paid, and you will still receive products and/or vouchers for Christmas. We are happy to discuss your order at any time. Simply Contact Us.
Direct Debit Authority
If pay are paying by Direct Debit, you will need to complete a Direct Debit Authority to allow a payment to be automatically deducted from your bank account. By filling out the Direct Debit Request form, you are authorising Chrisco to debit your payments from your chosen account. At midnight on the day you have chosen (usually your pay day), our bank debits your account electronically. It’s easy. Just fill in the form and then... relax.
Stopping a Direct Debit payment
If you call us on 0800 831 300 by midday the working day before your payment is due we can stop a payment (i.e.: before Friday midday for a Monday payment).
HeadStart Plan
Your payments will continue until your order is fully paid for (no later than the Final Payment Date (See below). After the Final Payment Date, a HeadStart Plan will be created for you and Direct Debit payments will continue accordingly. A HeadStart Plan allows you to make payments towards next year’s order, while giving you time to decide exactly which products you want. We will write to you to confirm your HeadStart Plan payments prior to continuing your Direct Debits. Your HeadStart Plan is fully refundable should you wish to stop it.
Free Gifts
Orders must be fully paid to qualify for free gift. The free gift will be delivered in November/December to the purchasing members address.
