Delivery

How much will delivery cost?

The delivery charge is automatically calculated and displayed during the check-out process. Depending on the weight and dimensions, you may be able to choose between Australia Post, Couriers Please, and TNT (FedEx).

Why am I only being offered one choice of delivery?

Certain items may only be carried by particular carriers, pressurised canisters and oversize goods may not be carried by a particular company so they will not be provided as an option if that item is in your cart. If the cart is only showing local pickup your address details may be incorrect or outside of our usual courier service areas, contact us for alternative transport options.

Can you deliver outside Australia?

Yes. All freight outside Australia is calculated to be shipped via TNT Express (FedEx) or Australia Post,
