Delivery Information

Collect in store or Delivery?

You can opt to have your order delivered or, if you prefer not to pay for delivery, you can collect it from a convenient store that has the required stock available. After you receive your 'ready to collect' email, you'll need to bring your driving licence or other government issued photo ID to the store, and if you paid by credit card, the credit card used to make the purchase. The name on licence must match the name on the card and the name on the order. The store may take a copy of your driving licence, this is to help prevent credit card fraud and will be kept tempoarily. After a short period it will be destroyed.

    Receiving your order

    Courier deliveries occur Monday - Friday between 9am-6pm. Unfortunately we cannot currently arrange deliveries for specific days, times or weekends. If you are not home when the delivery driver arrives they will leave a card with details on how to re-arrange your delivery. All orders must be signed for and ID may be required upon delivery.

    If you are not present when the courier drops of the package, then they may drop a collection card in your mailbox to either contact for a redelivery or pick up at a collection point close to your address such as newsagency, local supermarket and for Australia Post, typically your closest post office.

    Deliveries that require a forklift or loading dock

    If you are ordering a large item that requires a forklift or loading dock for delivery and you have these facilities available for the delivery then please tick the appropriate box at the checkout. This may reduce your delivery charge in some cases as we will not need to cater for these requirements. Please note, if you confirm that a forklift or loading dock is available but when the delivery arrives it is not, the delivery will be aborted and you will be charged a re-delivery fee. Your original delivery charges will not be refunded.
