ACT delivery

Australia-wide

Rates at checkout

Outside the ACT, delivery is calculated using your order weight and address.

Orders with alcohol

Adult signature

An adult aged 18 or over must receive the delivery. Alcohol cannot be left unattended.

Shipping & delivery times

How much does shipping cost?

ACT: free express delivery for orders of $50 or more, or $10 for orders below $50.

Other states and territories: shipping is calculated at checkout based on order weight and delivery address. Compare the available services before completing your order.

How long does delivery take?

Allow up to 5 business days for major cities and up to 10 business days for rural or regional areas after your order is processed.

These are estimates rather than guaranteed arrival dates. Business days exclude weekends and public holidays, and courier delays can occur.

Can you guarantee delivery by a particular date?

We can provide estimates, but cannot guarantee a delivery date. If your order is time-sensitive, compare the express services offered at checkout and contact us before ordering if you need advice.

Can I collect my order from the warehouse?

We are an online store and do not currently offer warehouse pickup or click and collect.

Receiving your order

Can you deliver to a PO Box or Parcel Locker?

Select Australia Post at checkout for delivery to a PO Box or Parcel Locker. Other courier services cannot deliver to Australia Post properties.

Orders containing alcohol still require an adult recipient and a signature. Choose an address and service suitable for the contents of your order.

What happens if I’m not home?

If you miss a delivery, follow the courier’s card, tracking update or notification for collection or redelivery instructions. Arrangements vary by carrier.

For an order containing alcohol, an adult aged 18 or over must receive and sign for it. It cannot be left unattended.

Will the courier call before delivering?

Couriers do not provide a call-ahead service. Please plan using the tracking updates and choose an address where someone can receive your parcel if a signature is required.

Can I add delivery instructions or change my address?

Check that your address is complete and correct before paying. Add helpful delivery instructions when placing your order.

If you notice an error, contact us promptly with your order number. Once your order has been dispatched, changes depend on the courier and may not be possible. Instructions do not override signature requirements for alcohol.

Tracking & help

How do I track my order?

For courier deliveries, use the tracking link in your shipping confirmation email. It may take 12–24 hours for the first Australia Post update to appear.

Local ACT deliveries may not have a tracking link. If you need an update, contact our team with your order number.

My parcel is delayed. What should I do?

Start with the courier’s tracking page for the latest scan and delivery instructions. If your parcel is outside the estimated timeframe, or tracking suggests a problem, contact us with your order number and we’ll help investigate.

Something arrived damaged or incorrect. How do I get help?

Contact our team as soon as possible with your order number, a description of the issue and clear photos of the products and packaging. Keep the packaging while we investigate.
