Delivery Charges
 
All delivery costs are calculated and charged by weight at a pre set rate for Australia wide delivery, we do not profit from postage. The cost of delivering your order will be displayed during the checkout process prior to making any payments. We do our very best to ensure we obtain the most competitive rates for carriage of shipments and we pass this on to our customers.
 
Service Selected
 
Please note we reserve the right to upgrade shipping methods selected where we deem it is necessary. Australia Post eParcel Express Post is good for smaller items but it is not always very secure and/or economical.
If we deem it necessary we may upgrade the shipping method selected entirely at our descretion, including utilising road freight where required. We will never downgrade your service, if you pay for premium shipping you will get the premium shipping.
 
Authority to Leave on parcels
 
Should you elect to provide authority to leave instructions, we will try and ensure those instructions are followed. We may occasionally add authority to leave to parcels where we see the situation is sensible to do so and the order value is below our threshold.
 
  • If we have elected to utilise authority to leave we will take full responsibity for any lost or damaged packages. 
  • If you request authority to leave we follow your instructions and will not take any responsibility. 
 
We will not use authority to leave instructions where orders exceed our dollar value threshold or where we deem your order may be too high at risk.
 
Mailbag / PMB & Rural Mail Service Delivery
 
Please note we accept orders for shipping to these addresses, however due to the complexity of the delivery of these services we are unable to guarantee deliveries using these services as the point of delivery. We are happy to ship items to these locations however the customer will bear the risk of any loss or damage as we are unable to obtain a delivery signature or confirmation when delivering to these special services.
 
At special request we can obtain special transit insurance for these shipments if there is concern. If you would like us to do so you must notify us in the order comments at the time the order is placed and we will respond prior to shipping with an updated quote to include the additional insurance cost.
 
Transit Times
 
Transit times displayed for the services offered are a guide only, they are not guaranteed. 95% of deliveries are achieved within the times quoted, however on rare occasions where events occur that are outside of our control or delivery is to remote locations, delivery times may take longer than the quoted time frame.
 
Our same day shipping cut off is 1pm AEST, any orders placed after this time may not be dispatched until the following business day.
 
Backorders
 
It is our highest priority to have the products we sell in stock 100% of the time but the nature of the business does mean that on occasion items do sell out. Our new website has a live inventory system so customers can see when an item is back ordered prior to placing the order.
 
When an order cointains an item that is on 'backorder' the entire order will be held until all of the items are in stock and ready for shipping. We will endeavour to contact the customer as soon as possible to will provide an estimated time frame for when we can deliver the order. 
 
If you wish to split the order for part delivery, sending the in-stock items now and backorder items later then an additional shipping cost may apply. 
 
Despatch
 
We process orders from 9am - 4pm AEST Monday through Friday, should you have any special requirements for delivery of your items please use the order notes section when you complete the checkout process and we will endeavor to ensure any instructions are followed. Please note once your order has passed to the carrier of your choice it is entirely at their discretion as to how they deliver any items.  
 
Once your payment has been received, we will endeavor to dispatch your order as quickly as possible. Most orders placed prior to 1pm AEST will ship the same day, orders after this time will be processed as soon as possible and may still go the same day but for operational reasons we cannot guarantee. 
 
We endeavor to dispatch items as quickly as possible, we will always contact you if despatch will not be possible within 48 business hours except where orders have been placed on back order. If your order is time critical we recommend contacting us prior to purchase to discuss so that we can make sure we can deliver according to your expectations.
