Customer Service for Online Orders
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
-
Our customers have the option of $15.00 Standard rate or $25.00 Express rate and are sent by Australia Post Parcel service no matter where you live in Australia. We do not discriminate against customers in isolated locations. This does not apply to bulky or hazardous items for which you will be asked to contact us to discuss alternative shipping arrangements. Orders will mostly be sent by Australia Post parcel service unless this is not available or if a local carrier offers a more suitable service. Australia Post does not provide a next day service for areas outside of state capital cities. Your order will be shipped from our Katherine shop which is in a Regional town. In our experience, most orders take 3-7 work days when we send by Express Post, unless your address is in a remote country area when it may take a bit longer. Regular parcel service will be used for addresses within the Northern Territory unless your regular mail is sent by barge. Bulky items such as saddle pads, may be sent by regular parcel service, which can take 7-21 days. We will supply you with a tracking number so that your parcel can be traced or you may receive an email or SMS directly from Australia Post. We may at times remove boots from their boxes to enable more efficient packing. Orders can also be collected from our business premises or shipped via the customers own freight arrangement. If you do have your own freight service please select click and collect then provide the additional details to us by separate email.
