It's time to highlight the essential cutoff dates to guarantee your gifts make it in time for the holiday festivities. Planning ahead is your ticket to a stress-free Christmas, so let's delve into the specifics. Standard Delivery to Most Metro Areas:For those residing in most metro areas, mark your calendars for Sunday, December 17th. This is the critical cutoff for standard delivery, ensuring your packages grace the Christmas tree right on schedule. Express Post for Eleventh-Hour Shoppers:If time is slipping away, fear not! Opt for our express post option, extending the deadline to Wednesday, December 20th. Choose this swift delivery method, and your gifts will be in your hands just in time for the big day. Special Considerations for WA and NT Metro Areas:Our customers in Western Australia (WA) and the Northern Territory (NT) metro areas, take note of the adjusted cutoff dates. Standard Post to WA and NT: Your deadline is Wednesday, December 13th. Finalize your orders by this date for a timely delivery. Express Post to WA and NT: For express post, the cutoff date is Tuesday, December 19th. Give yourself that extra day for peace of mind and a stress-free holiday. IMPORTANT: Orders with E6000 AdhesiveA special mention for customers planning to purchase E6000 Glue. These items require Road Only labels, so they will cause delays with delivery.

While we strive to provide accurate cutoff dates, it's crucial to note that both Australia Post and courier services offer no delivery date guarantees, especially during the bustling festive season. External factors may impact schedules. We recommend placing orders well in advance of the cutoff dates to accommodate any potential delays.

Delays via Regular Post to WAAustralia Post have advised that there are delays to WA from the East Coast due to multiple rail line issues. (We're on the East coast) As a result, regular parcels and mail is expected to take two weeks longer than usual. This does not affect Express Post which is moving by air and is a much faster option. Please consider EXPRESS POSTPlease consider selecting Express Post to avoid the delays caused by the cross-country rail outage. This will also avoid possible heat damage as rail freight is waiting in containers and warehouses which may expose the freight to excessive heat for a prolonged period of time. We'll continue to monitor the situation and advise accordingly. E6000 CAN NOT MOVE BY AIRIf you're selecting Express, please reconsider adding E6000 Adhesives to your order. E6000 is a ground-only item and can not move by air. Therefore selecting Express with E6000 in the order will be no faster than regular post and will be caught in delays caused by the rail line closures. Notice from Australia Post dated November 17th:Parcel Post items sent to Western Australia from the east coast of Australia may take up to an additional two weeks to be delivered (based on our current estimates).
Heavy rain and flooding has closed the Sydney-to-Perth rail line. The Melbourne-to-Adelaide rail link is also closed due to damage caused by a train derailment; the reopening date is unknown at this stage. Our Express Post service is not affected by the rail closures. If you need to send items to Western Australia urgently, consider this option. Please note that as more customers opt to use this service, there may be a two-day delivery delay. |
