At Doug Smith Spares, timely delivery is as important to us as it is to you. We make every effort to dispatch orders on the day they are received, provided the order is received before 12PM on a weekday. Despite our best efforts, this service is never guaranteed, as backlogs in all warehouses can and do occur.
Exact delivery times can depend on a number of factors, including the weight and size of the parcel, where its going etc. As a general rule customers should allow 3-6 business days for delivery, although it can be much quicker than that.
We use reputable external courier services including TNT, Couriers Please, Australia Post and Aramax. Occasional delays are experienced during delivery which are out of our control. (such as floods, fire, industrial action, system errors and other malaise) As such we cannot accept responsibility for delays during carriage. But these delays are rare.
Please also ensure that your order has your correct delivery address, and if you are having the parcel delivered to a business address, that you include the name of the business.
All parcels will be sent with ‘Authority to Leave’ permission if the premises is unattended. We do not take responsibility for the safety of your delivery once it’s been dropped off. If you think that the delivery address is not going to be a safe place, please ensure that someone is there when delivery takes place, or consider having it delivered to your workplace for example.
Full risk in the products will pass to you upon delivery from us. Full title will pass to you upon receipt of full payment and delivery to you.
