## 1. Order Processing and Dispatch
Orders are processed during business days, excluding weekends and public holidays.
In-stock products are generally dispatched within **1–2 business days** after the order has been confirmed and payment has been received, subject to stock availability and any additional processing requirements.
Dispatch timeframes are estimates and may vary for bulky, oversized, customised, or specially handled products. If there is a significant change to the expected dispatch timeframe, we will provide an update through Bunnings Marketplace where appropriate.
## 2. Estimated Delivery Timeframes
Delivery timeframes are estimates and are calculated in business days from dispatch, unless otherwise stated.
For in-stock products, the estimated delivery timeframes are generally:
- **Metro areas:** 3–7 business days.
- **Regional areas:** 5–10 business days.
- **Remote areas:** Delivery may take longer, depending on the destination and carrier service.
Actual delivery times may vary depending on the delivery address, carrier availability, product dimensions, freight requirements, and other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
For bulky or oversized products, delivery may require specialised freight services or additional handling. Where applicable, the estimated delivery timeframe will be communicated during checkout or through the order details.
## 4. Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated based on factors including the delivery postcode, product size and weight, quantity ordered, delivery method, and any special handling requirements.
The applicable shipping charges will be displayed at checkout before the customer completes the order.
Some products or delivery locations may qualify for free delivery, subject to the conditions stated on the relevant product listing or at checkout.
Additional services, such as special handling or delivery arrangements, may incur extra charges where applicable. Any additional charges must be communicated to the customer before they are incurred or agreed to.
Customers should confirm the delivery address and review the shipping charges displayed at checkout before placing an order.
## 5. Tracking and Delivery Updates
Where tracking is available, tracking information will be provided through the order details, shipping confirmation, or other available delivery notifications.
Customers can use the supplied tracking information to check the progress of their shipment.
Some bulky freight deliveries or deliveries handled by specialised carriers may not provide real-time tracking. In these cases, delivery updates may be available through the carrier or through us via the Contact Seller function on Bunnings Marketplace.
Tracking availability and update frequency depend on the carrier and the delivery service used.
## 6. Delivery Delays
Delivery may be delayed by circumstances such as severe weather, carrier network disruptions, peak-season demand, public holidays, transport restrictions, remote-area access, or other unexpected events.
If a delivery appears to be delayed, customers should first check any available tracking information. If further assistance is required, please contact us through the **Contact Seller** function on Bunnings Marketplace.
We will make reasonable efforts to investigate the delay, obtain an update from the carrier, and communicate the available information to the customer.
Nothing in this policy removes our obligations under applicable consumer law in relation to delivery within an agreed or reasonable timeframe.
## 7. Remote and Regional Deliveries
Deliveries to regional and remote areas may take longer and may incur higher freight charges than deliveries to metropolitan areas.
Some locations may have limited carrier coverage, restricted delivery access, or require special freight arrangements. Where applicable, shipping charges and available delivery options will be displayed at checkout or communicated before the order is finalised.
If a delivery cannot be completed due to access restrictions or other destination-specific limitations, we will work with the customer to discuss reasonable available options.
## 8. Missing, Damaged or Incorrect Deliveries
If an order has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, or if an item arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us through the **Contact Seller** function on Bunnings Marketplace.
To help us investigate, please provide:
- Your order number.
- A description of the issue.
- Photographs of any visible damage, packaging, or incorrect items, where applicable.
- Any relevant tracking or delivery information.
For missing deliveries, we will investigate the shipment with the carrier and provide updates on the outcome.
For items damaged during delivery, items missing from an order, or incorrect items received, we will assess the issue and arrange an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable consumer law.
Customers are encouraged to report delivery issues as soon as reasonably possible. However, any reporting timeframe in this policy does not limit a customer's rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
## 9. Delivery Access and Receipt
Customers should ensure that the delivery address and contact details provided at checkout are accurate and that reasonable access is available for the selected delivery service.
For bulky or heavy products, customers should check the product dimensions and consider whether the delivery location has suitable access, including doorways, stairs, driveways, and other restrictions.
Where a delivery service requires the customer to be present or to make special arrangements, these requirements will be communicated where available.
Any additional delivery or re-delivery charges arising from customer-requested changes or failed delivery attempts will be communicated where applicable and will be subject to the terms agreed at checkout and applicable law.
## 10. Consumer Rights
We comply with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and other applicable Australian laws.
Nothing in this Shipping Policy excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies that consumers may have under the ACL, including rights relating to delivery delays, goods that are not delivered, goods damaged in transit, or goods that do not comply with consumer guarantees.
Where a delivery issue gives rise to a remedy under applicable consumer law, we will work with the customer to provide an appropriate resolution.
