Notice of PRI Free Shipping Policy Change [2026]

At Pacific Resources International, we’re dedicated to bringing you authentic, high-quality Manuka honey and related wellness products straight from New Zealand. We know you choose PRI for Manuka honey benefits you can trust, from immune support to premium skincare and everyday health essentials. That’s why we want to be fully transparent about an upcoming change to our shipping policy.

Economic Pressures and Price Adjustments

The annual inflation rate in the US rose to 3.3% in March 2026, the highest level since May 2024 and a notable jump from 2.4% in the prior months. Meanwhile, food price inflation specifically stood at 2.68%. Like many businesses, we’ve faced steadily increasing logistics, packaging, and material costs worldwide.

We’ve held off on passing these increases to you for as long as possible. However, to continue delivering the good quality Manuka honey and exceptional service you expect from us, we must make a difficult but necessary adjustment.

Through May 8th, you can still enjoy free shipping on all orders of $49 or more. After this the free shipping minimum will increase to $75 or more.

Why We’re Making This Change

As a small, family-run business, we’ve absorbed increasing costs for as long as we possibly could. Fuel surcharges, packaging material prices, and shipping rates from New Zealand have all climbed significantly over the past year. Rather than compromise on the quality of our Manuka honey or raise product prices, we made the difficult decision to adjust only the free shipping threshold.

This change allows us to maintain the high standards you expect while continuing to operate sustainably. We truly value our customers and have delayed this adjustment until it became unavoidable.

What This Means for You

We understand that any change to shipping can feel disappointing, especially when budgets are tight. Here’s what the change may look like for you:

You still have time to enjoy free shipping on orders of $49 and above, through May 8, 2026.
Product prices are not increasing at this time.
The quality of every jar remains exactly the same, since we refuse to cut corners.
This is a one-time adjustment focused solely on shipping.

We genuinely appreciate your understanding as we navigate these economic pressures together.

How to Make the Most of Current Free Shipping

Now is the smartest time to stock up! Here are some easy ways to maximize your order before the change:

Bundle 2 to 3 jars of your favorite good quality Manuka honey with your preferred MGO rating.
Include sweet treats and wellness boosters for the whole family.
Create a “pantry refill” order so you won’t need to reorder soon.

Take advantage of the current $49 free shipping while it lasts. It’s the perfect opportunity to save on shipping and secure your supply of premium Manuka honey.

The PRI Quality Commitment

PRI remains dedicated to sourcing honey directly from New Zealand beekeepers. We refuse to lower our standards or use cheaper sources to save money.

We won’t compromise on the quality of our Manuka honey. We source directly from trusted New Zealand beekeepers, maintain rigorous testing, and stand behind every product we ship. While we work hard to absorb as many cost increases as possible and keep prices stable, this modest shipping adjustment helps us sustain the premium standards that set PRI apart.

You deserve good quality Manuka honey you can trust, and we’re committed to delivering exactly that, order after order.
