Delivery Service
We believe delivery is one of the crucial aspects of providing a great service. It is safe to assume, if you are to place an order now, you would like your goods delivered as soon as possible. At the same time, you would like it to be affordable. We use a number of courier companies, based on your location, size of the parcel etc. Delivery is available to almost anywhere in Australia and most deliveries fall under $9 flat rate we currently have.
Delivery Service
So, how exactly does our freight work and how much does it cost? All our deliveries are carried out by third party courier companies and costs are determined by delivery location, the size of the parcel and courier used. As suppliers we use independent couriers and warehouses we utilise are located in a number of states, we often deliver your order on the same day (available in metro Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney), pending stock availability and time you place your order. If you are located in the country area, or interstate, depending on the size of the order and your location, usually, you can expect it the next day or the day after. During checkout, you will be presented with all delivery options available to your area.
For further details, please see Delivery Schedule tab above
Please note:
Deliveries to PO Box addresses are subject to a 5kg limit per parcel, Australian Air Express only as courier, and are not available on all products.
Due to special transport requirements, shipping costs for large hardware products are calculated manually and advised after order is placed. System price is used as a guide only.

Please note:
All information presented here is based on years of experience and is to be used as a guideline. While 99%+ of orders fall within these terms, there are at times unforeseen circumstances which may cause deviation from normal operation practice (ie. many orders received even at 4:30pm have made it out in time for next day delivery, or same day morning courier arrives 15 minutes late causing the parcel to miss connecting driver).
We use a number of warehouses all over Australia to get the goods to you as soon as possible, but a small number of products (some hardware as a general rule) have longer departure times. Every product has a 'usually ships within' time frame on their detailed page which indicates general lead times for that product, and it needs to be taken into account when using this guide.
All prices in delivery schedules are IncGST.
*Due to courier restrictions, we cannot offer service to Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, Home Island Cocos (Keeling) Islands and West Island Cocos (Keeling) Islands
