HOW MUCH IS DELIVERY?

FREE Australia wide delivery applies to all orders with a goods value of $100 or more. (Includes signature delivery and a traceable consignment number).

A flat $8.95 delivery charge applies to all Australian orders under $100. (This charge includes signature delivery and a traceable consignment number).

Express Post next business day* delivery is available for orders under 4kg. A flat $13.95 charge applies for this service. (If your order exceeds 4kg, express post will not be offered as a delivery option during checkout).

*Next business day delivery applies to express post orders placed before 11:00 am ACDT. Express orders placed after 11:00am OR express orders being sent to a destination outside of the Australia Post express network usually take more than 1 business day to arrive.

WHAT IF I AM NOT HOME AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY?

Only one delivery attempt will be made for ALL shipping. If no one is in attendance at the time of delivery, your parcel will be taken back to your local post office for safe-keeping and collection. Any request for Authority to Leave without a signature will be at your own risk. In the event an authority to leave parcel is lost, missing or stolen, Send A Toy will not provide compensation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An Authority to Leave instruction can only be applied by following the "Leave in a Safe Place" link in your parcel tracking email (sent to you by Australia Post once your parcel has left Send A Toy). Requests asking Send A Toy to add an authority to leave instruction on your behalf will be ignored.

WILL THE DELIVERY DRIVER PHONE AHEAD OF DELIVERY?

Sorry, no. Send A Toy parcels are transited through the Australia Post Eparcel system and we are not able to request that drivers phone ahead of delivery. However, during checkout you will be given the option of linking a mobile phone number to your order to receive parcel tracking updates. If you opt to include your mobile number, you will receive an impending parcel delivery notification via SMS text.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Instructions left for Send A Toy requesting that we phone you just prior to delivery will be ignored.

CAN MY PARCEL BE DELIVERED TO A PO BOX?

Yes.

I HAVE PROVIDED THE WRONG DELIVERY ADDRESS ... NOW WHAT?

Contact Send A Toy immediately. If your parcel has not been manifested we can change the address for you. Unfortunately if your parcel has already been manifested we can not change the delivery address. In this instance your parcel will usually be returned to us within 2 - 4 weeks. Once your parcel arrives back at Send A Toy we can have it sent to the revised address. Please note that you will be charged a $8.95 re-delivery fee. This fee applies regardless of whether your order initially qualified for free delivery as Send A Toy incurs freight charges on all returned parcels. Alternatively you can opt to cancel your order for a refund, less a $8.95 returned parcel delivery fee.

If your parcel is accepted at the incorrect address and not returned to Send A Toy, it can not be retrieved by Send A Toy or Australia Post. Send A Toy will not provide a refund or compensation for the lost goods.
