About Mrs Higgins

Mrs Higgins is a New Zealand cookie brand and bakery chain best known for its soft, oven-fresh cookies baked in the traditional style. Founded in Auckland, the company produces cookies, brownies, slices and other baked treats that are sold through Mrs Higgins-branded retail kiosks and stores, selected supermarkets and cafés, and a wholesale/foodservice network across New Zealand. Their Henderson, Auckland site is a key production and distribution location, supplying both retail outlets and wholesale customers. Customers may buy individual cookies, mixed boxes, gift packs, catering trays, and occasionally seasonal or limited-edition flavours.

A charge from “MRS HIGGINS,” “MRS HIGGINS COOKIES,” or a similar description on your bank statement usually relates to a purchase made at one of their cookie kiosks, retail outlets, or via an online order through mrshiggins.com or a linked ordering platform. This could be a one-off in-store purchase using EFTPOS/credit card, an online order for cookie boxes or gifts, a corporate or catering order paid by card, or a purchase made through a delivery partner that passes the merchant name through to your statement. The amount may reflect multiple items (for example, a box of cookies plus drinks or other treats) or a bulk order for an event or office shout.

If you don’t recognise a Mrs Higgins charge, first think back to recent visits to malls, transport hubs, or events where you may have bought cookies or snacks, or if you ordered treats online to be delivered to yourself or someone else. Check your email (including promotions/spam folders) for an order confirmation or receipt from Mrs Higgins or from the shopping/delivery platform you used. To resolve questions, visit mrshiggins.com and use the contact details provided (such as their contact form or listed phone number) with your full name, the last four digits of the card used, transaction date, amount, and location if known. Common issues—like not receiving an email receipt, a double swipe at the till, or confusion over a corporate catering order—are typically resolved by contacting the store you purchased from or the head office team via the website, who can look up the transaction in their POS records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Mrs Higgins charge on my bank statement when I only bought a few cookies?

Mrs Higgins outlets often sell cookies individually as well as in multipacks, boxes, and gift tins, and customers may add drinks or other treats in a single transaction. Your statement will usually show one combined amount for everything you purchased at the counter. If the total seems higher than you recall, it may include a multi-cookie deal, a gift pack, or multiple items purchased together for friends, family, or colleagues.

What are typical purchase amounts for Mrs Higgins, and why might my charge be higher than expected?

Individual cookies are typically low-cost items, but purchases can add up when you buy mixed dozens, gift boxes, office shout packs, or catering trays. It’s common to see round amounts (for example, a multi-cookie deal or box price) plus any applicable add-ons. If you see a larger charge, consider whether you recently ordered cookies or slices for a workplace event, school function, or gift delivery rather than just a single cookie for yourself.

Can Mrs Higgins charges be recurring or part of a subscription?

Mrs Higgins generally operates on a one-off purchase model for in-store and most online orders, so you should not normally see an automatic recurring subscription charge directly from them. However, you might see multiple similar amounts in a short period if you frequently visit the same kiosk or if your household uses the same card for regular treats. If you ever see repeated charges you don’t recognise, contact your bank immediately and then reach out to Mrs Higgins via the contact details on mrshiggins.com so they can check for any duplicate or suspicious transactions.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a Mrs Higgins purchase?

For in-store purchases, receipts are usually printed at the point of sale when requested at the time of purchase. If you need a copy later, note the date, approximate time, store location, and amount, then contact that specific store or the head office via mrshiggins.com so they can search their till records. For online or corporate orders, check your email for an order confirmation or invoice; if you can’t find it, use the website’s contact form with your name, business details (if applicable), and transaction information to request a copy.

How do I resolve a double charge or incorrect amount from Mrs Higgins?

If you believe you were charged twice—for example, if a card was inserted and then tapped, or the terminal appeared to freeze—compare both the dates and exact amounts shown on your statement. Contact the store where you made the purchase as soon as possible with the receipt (if you have one) or details of the transaction, and they can verify the duplicate in their POS system and arrange a reversal or refund if appropriate. If you can’t reach the store or the time has passed, contact Mrs Higgins via the details on mrshiggins.com and also notify your bank, which may be able to assist with a dispute.

Does Mrs Higgins place small authorization holds or pending charges on my card?

Small temporary authorizations are uncommon for simple in-store purchases, which typically post as a single completed transaction. However, if you ordered online or through a third-party delivery platform, you might see a temporary ‘pending’ amount or pre-authorisation before the final total is confirmed (for example, if substitutions, delivery fees, or order adjustments apply). These holds usually fall away within a few business days, leaving only the final settled amount on your account.

How can I contact Mrs Higgins about a charge I don’t recognise?

Go to mrshiggins.com and use the contact options listed there—typically a contact form or email, and sometimes a phone number for head office or specific stores. Provide as much detail as you can: your full name, the name on the card, the last four digits of the card, transaction date, time window, amount, and any clue about where you might have shopped (such as a mall you visited). With this information, the team can search their transaction logs, confirm whether the charge is from one of their outlets, and advise on next steps, including refunds or directing you to your bank if necessary.
