1. Shipping

Where delivery is available in your area and you request delivery, you will need to contact us to book a time for delivery. Generally, we ship products via our chosen carrier who may contact you directly regarding your delivery. We cannot deliver to a Post Office Box or APO/FPO addresses. If you order large or bulky items such as home appliances, you must provide a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for the receipt of your products.

Display, or clearance products must be delivered within 7 days of order placement.

Delivery time and price may vary depending on your location, the product that you have purchased, available shipping options, and shipping options selected by you. If you order large or bulky items, we will contact you to arrange delivery and with an estimated delivery date.

Customers should carefully consider the accessibility of their space when making their purchase.

The products we sell are often big and heavy things to lift, so there will be certain occasions when we may be unable to get a product into your property. Lots of steps, narrow corridors, radiators and restricted parking are all things that may hinder our ability to deliver. In these situations, we may be able to offer delivery to the nearest point possible e.g. your garage, so you can make arrangements to get the product in. If not, we will attempt another delivery date or give you a full refund. It is your responsibility to verify fit and we will not take responsibility for products that will, upon arrival, not fit through a door, hallway, etc. If a product needs to be exchanged or returned due to a fit issue, there will be a charge to ship the product back to us and to restock it that we will advise you of once you call us on 1300 650 590.

We will use reasonable commercial endeavours to deliver product/s on or about the delivery date agreed between us (Delivery Date). If we are unable to deliver the product/s by the Delivery Date (by reason of inventory shortage, transportation difficulties or otherwise), we will use reasonable commercial endeavours to do so within a reasonable period after the Delivery Date.

Delivery will be to the Australian address specified in your order. For spare parts and accessories orders only, if no one is present to receive the product, it will be left at your address.

Delivery of an order shall be completed and all risk in the products (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the address you gave us.

We are not liable for any delay or failure to deliver products if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an event outside our control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

You agree that any delivery confirmation provided by the carrier is deemed sufficient proof of delivery to you, even without a signature.

2. Additional Services

The charges (if any) for additional services are clearly laid out throughout the order process and will be displayed on the checkout page when you place your order.

If we are replacing your old appliance, please disconnect, defrost if necessary and ensure all water, laundry and other personal items are removed from the appliance before we arrive.
