Frequently Asked Questions

Delivery

How long will it take to deliver my order?

The majority of orders are dispatched from the Global Shop Direct warehouse within seven days. Please allow up to an additional seven days for Australia Post to deliver your order. Some of our best-selling products can take up to 28 days to be delivered at times if we are experiencing unexpected levels of demand. We will always do our utmost to get your order to you as soon as possible.

I ordered a product and it has not arrived, what should I do?

Please allow up to 28 days for your order to arrive. You should also check with your local post office as delivery may have been attempted and the product returned to the post office if no one was home. If it has not arrived after this time please contact our customer service team by calling 1300 137 598 (Mon-Fri, 9am - 5pm AEST) or email us.

How will my order be delivered to me?

All of our orders are delivered via Australia Post.

Could you explain your postage and handling charges?

Postage and handling (P&H) charges cover the cost of dispatching your order and delivering it to you. P&H is calculated on a per-item basis, so if you order two items, you will be charged two P&H charges.

A P&H surcharge may apply for customers located a long way from our distribution centre or in isolated country areas. The surcharge covers additional Australia Post costs for delivery to these areas. The surcharge is calculated as a percentage of the original P&H amount, taking into account the delivery postcode and the weight of each order. For a list of postcodes that may attract a surcharge please click here. You'll be advised of any P&H surcharges during the checkout process after you've entered your postcode but before you have completed your order, so you will be aware of any surcharge before you purchase a product.

Do I have to be home when my product is delivered?

Ideally yes, however if you are not home, the delivery person will leave a card with instructions on how to pick up the delivery from your post office outlet. You can also specify a different delivery address, such as a neighbour, or your work address.

Do you deliver outside of Australia?

At this time we only deliver within Australia.

Can I order if I live outside Australia?

You can order from outside Australia but all goods must be delivered to an Australian delivery address.
