The deadline for orders to be shipped within
the next shipping period (Monday - Wednesday) is noon
each Saturday.
Due to contractual
arrangements this will be strictly adhered to.
With the vast
growth in shipping volume, the Herp Shop has expanded to the extent where out-sourcing
of the shipping/handling section of our operation has been let to a private contractor.
It remains within our family and the same guaranteed quality packing and shipping
will be continued.
Two methods of shipping are available and,
unless otherwise requested, the Herp Shop will decide on which method is used.
If there is a large difference in the rates between the two companies that we
use, (Australia Post and Fastway Couriers), you will be consulted first if we
propose to use the more expensive option.
Australia
Post:
| We only ship
with Australia Post on Tuesdays and are registered to use eParcel. This method
is slightly dearer than the normal parcel post but it provides a tracking system
and proof of delivery. Under Australia Post regulations, all live insects are
to be shipped express eParcel and on their own. There is a maximum limit on the
roaches to stay within the minimum cost of the express post. Therefore, all insects
automatically go express eParcel. All parcels with a P.O Box destination must
also go Australia Post. With the balance of the parcels, we weigh up the quickest
and, within reason, the more economical way of getting your order to you. |
Fastway Couriers:
| We ship with Fastway Couriers on Mondays and Wednesdays. They supply
the same tracking system and proof of delivery. It is not economical to use this
system for places like inland N.S.W and parts of Qld for parcels in the lower
weight range. A responsible decision re shipping will be made on your behalf. |
Listed prices do not include shipping/handling costs; these will be
added to your invoice.
