Delivery Info
1. How will my order be shipped?
We ship most of our orders via Australia Post eParcel, but we do use other carriers from time to time. To ensure your goods arrive safe and sound, all packages have a tracking number on them and for added security. For AusPost a signature must be provided at the time of delivery by anyone at the delivery address. In the event that there is no one at the premises, a calling card will be left by the Australia Post contractor and you will then have the option to collect your delivery from your local Post Office. We suggest keeping an eye on the tracking data as this will tell you approximately when to expect your delivery. Please note that we do not have any control over carrier processes and these processes may differ between carriers and can change without prior notice.
On the occasion, we may need to send your order out via a Courier, due to their size or location. In situations such as this, we will email you to advise delivery details.
Ceiling Fans Direct uses a network of warehouses throughout Australia to ensure the quickest possible delivery. This means that sometimes you may receive multiple deliveries for one order.
2. Is Transit Insurance required?
At Ceiling Fans Direct, we ship goods all over Australia. We do try our very best to ensure that your goods arrive safely and securely. However, while in Australia Post's network, accidents do sometimes occur. As Australia Post is a common carrier, we offer our customers the option to have transit cover on their shipment, just in case, there are any problems with the delivery. Transit cover is entirely optional and can be unselected during checkout. This insurance covers your order for any loss or damage while with Australia Post. Please also note that any damage or loss claims must be made within 14 days of receiving your order.
3. I have just placed my order, how long until I get it?
Most orders are shipped from our Brisbane warehouse within 1-5 business days from when the payment on your order has cleared.
Product dispatch times may vary and are available on each product page so that you know the approximate dispatch time.
From there, your order will leave our warehouse via Australia Post. Australia is a pretty big place and deliveries can take up to 10 business days or more, especially if you are in a remote location.
Below are some approximate delivery times for major metro areas.
Sydney – approximately 3-5 business days
Melbourne – approximately 5-7 business days
Perth – approximately 8-10 business days

4. I am in a rush, can I get it faster?

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any claims for missing items outside of this 30-day period.
