Auckland shoppers can now get fresh groceries delivered the same day, from Pukekohe to Orewa.
Online grocer TUM says it will dispatch afternoon runs across the city for orders placed before 12pm, with delivery “that same day”. The service covers dozens of suburbs across the North Shore, central Auckland, west, east and south, including Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Mt Eden and Henderson.
TUM markets the offer as “fresh, proper market food delivered to your door the very same day”. It says its team sources produce, bakery goods and essentials from “trusted local suppliers and markets”.
How tum’s same-day grocery delivery works in auckland
TUM’s cut-off time is “Order before 12:00 PM”. The company says it then packs orders fresh and sends drivers out “every afternoon” across Auckland.
Customers who miss the midday cut-off are told their order will arrive “first thing the next morning”. TUM says the same-day offer sits alongside its wider home delivery schedule, which it lists as Monday to Thursday.
The company is leaning into convenience at a time when time-poor households are also dealing with congestion. Auckland Transport data has repeatedly highlighted where travel times blow out, including several inner-city pinch points covered in our report on traffic choke points.
Which suburbs get same-day delivery from pukekohe to orewa
TUM says it delivers to “every suburb from Pukekohe to Orewa”, then lists a network that stretches from the Hibiscus Coast to Franklin. On the North Shore, that includes Orewa, Silverdale, Red Beach, Millwater and Milldale, plus Albany, Browns Bay, Torbay and Mairangi Bay.
Its coastal North Shore list includes Takapuna, Milford, Castor Bay, Devonport and Belmont. Western North Shore suburbs named include Glenfield, Birkenhead, Northcote, Beach Haven and Hillcrest.
In central Auckland, TUM lists the CBD and inner-west suburbs including Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Westmere and Point Chevalier. It also includes inner-east suburbs such as Parnell, Newmarket, Remuera, Mission Bay, Kohimarama and St Heliers.
Central south coverage includes Epsom, Mt Eden, Sandringham, Balmoral, Mt Roskill and Three Kings. Central east suburbs named include Ellerslie, Penrose, Mt Wellington, Panmure, Glen Innes and Stonefields.
West Auckland delivery areas listed range from West Harbour, Hobsonville, Massey and Whenuapai, to Henderson, Te Atatu Peninsula, Te Atatu South and Glendene. It also lists Glen Eden, Titirangi, Green Bay, New Lynn and Kelston.
In east Auckland, TUM names Howick, Pakuranga, Half Moon Bay, Bucklands Beach and Mellons Bay, plus Botany Downs, Flat Bush, Whitford Village and East Tamaki. In the south, it lists Manukau, Papatoetoe, Mangere, Otahuhu and Otara, and further down to Papakura, Drury and Karaka, finishing with Pukekohe, Paerata and Tuakau Township.
What TUM says makes its groceries “proper fresh”
TUM says, “Freshness is at the heart of what we do.” It says its team sources goods each morning, with some items “picked up daily” and others arriving through “regular deliveries throughout the week”.
The company draws a line between its model and warehouse-based fulfilment. “Nothing is pulled from the back of a giant warehouse and sent out without a second look,” it says.
TUM adds, “Every box is packed with the same care you’d use if you were choosing it yourself.”

The pitch reflects a wider shift in how Aucklanders buy food, with meal planning and last-minute top-ups increasingly happening online. In Arch Hill and Grey Lynn, demand for quick options sits alongside the steady trade for local favourites, as mapped in our guide to best cafes.
Delivery fees, free-delivery threshold, and packaging claims
TUM says customers in the listed suburbs qualify for “free delivery on orders over $70”. It also promotes “sustainable packaging”, saying it keeps packaging “minimal and planet-friendly wherever possible”.
It claims it can keep prices down by working “directly with growers and local suppliers, cutting out unnecessary middlemen”. TUM also says shoppers can “shop by diet”, listing Keto, Paleo, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free categories.
New Zealand’s grocery sector has faced sustained scrutiny over pricing and competition, including by the Commerce Commission. The commission’s grocery market work has tracked how retail settings affect shoppers and suppliers.
What shoppers can do next, and where to learn more
TUM is steering shoppers to its same-day collection online, and says the service is available across the suburbs listed in its network. The company also promotes the markets it runs in Auckland as another way customers can buy its range.
For Aucklanders building transport and shopping routines around tighter timetables, other changes are also in play, including the initial City Rail Link timetable adjustments flagged by Auckland Transport.
TUM’s same-day cut-off remains 12pm, with afternoon deliveries running across Auckland.
