FAQS

How many days does it take to get paid for my honey?

Upon acceptance of our purchase offer the company has 14 days in which to pay you in full into your nominated bank account or as otherwise agreed. Generally payment is made within a couple of days.

Why have I been charged for pallets or trays when they are meant to be free for use.

The free for use is only if the items are returned in the same condition. If they are damaged or not returned at all then they are charged to you at the rate outlined in your extraction agreement. These items are to be signed in and out of the facility each time they are removed and returned.

How is my honey tested and how do I know the test is accurate?

All of our testing is undertaken by an independent laboratory (Analytica Labs in Hamilton). A sample of each batch is taken mid flow during drumming and is sent off for analysis. We always take 2 samples, in the case that the first sample is compromised.

What are all of the tests for and how do they affect my honey price?

Testing allows you to be paid fair market value for your honey. Some tests are required by MPI to be able to sell your honey. For more information about your tests please speak to us directly.
