SHIPPING & DELIVERY POLICY

Shipping Destinations

All products depicted on this website are available for delivery almost everywhere in mainland Australia and mainland Tasmania.

Placing the order

When you order, shipping prices are clearly indicated on the website shopping cart. Shipping prices are based on the package dimensions and destination suburb/postcode.

Due to the bulkiness of the goods and as we deliver via courier, we cannot deliver to a PO Box. A street address must be provided at the time of placing your order.

Creative Kids Play is entitled to refuse any order placed at our discretion. If your order is accepted, we will confirm acceptance to you by online electronic means to the email address you have given us during the order process. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact us to ensure your order has been accepted.

You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing and receiving products or services which may be offered by us on our website will be correct.

Shipping Times

Shipping times will vary with the product, location, delivery method and the season. Generally, allow 5-15 business days (up to 21 working days in rural areas ) from the date of the order and/or payment approval, unless the item is out of stock. You will be notified by phone or e-mail if there will be a longer delay.

If the product you order is unavailable we will inform you. In the event that we are unable to supply the product to you, we shall notify you as soon as possible and shall offer an alternative or reimburse your payment in full (at our discretion). We reserve the right not to supply you at our discretion.

Any times or dates stated on our website or confirmation emails regarding deliveries are estimates only. QUADRO Australia attempts to deliver within these timeframes but does not accept liability for any failure to deliver within that time. Our delivery service does not include delivery on Saturdays, Sundays or Public Holidays.

Whilst we agree to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that delivery is made on the day offered, you will acknowledge that delivery is made via third party suppliers and is therefore beyond our control. We therefore cannot accept responsibility for any personal costs incurred for delays or missed deliveries. Incorrect personal details may lead to problems or delays in delivery, so before placing your order, please ensure that you have included the full address details, including postcode of the delivery address and your daytime contact telephone numbers and e-mail address so we can notify you in the event of a delivery problem.

Arranging Delivery

Due to the nature of courier contract delivery, any additional charges are outside our control and QUADRO Australia will not be held responsible for such costs. By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions you are also agreeing to accept additional delivery charges. You are also agreeing to be bound by all terms and conditions stated in our shipping documents.

The courier company will only attempt to deliver orders once. A “Second Delivery” attempt will incur additional costs which will be charged to the customer.

To avoid additional charges we strongly advise you either:

  1. Arrange a delivery address where the order can be definitely be received and signed for;
    • Anyone over 18yrs can sign for the delivery e.g. yourself, neighbour, work colleague etc
    • Shipping Address does not have to be your residential address e.g. workplace, friend, neighbour etc
      A street address must be provided, PO Boxes can not be used
  2. Request ‘Authority to Leave’ when placing the order;
    • The consignment will be left at the designated Shipping Address without requiring a signature
    • There must be a safe place to leave the consignment. Please note packages large – refer to specific product packaging dimensions

We will also contact you once you have placed your order to confirm the shipping details. You will also be provided with a consignment number and the ability to track and trace your delivery.

Delivery

Delivery will be deemed as successfully made once the product has arrived at the address specified and either a consignment note has been signed for by an adult aged 18 years or older, or if an ‘Authority to Leave’ has been requested and the goods have been delivered to the shipping address. Once delivered, products will be deemed your responsibility and any loss or damage to the Products shall then be at your own risk.

It is the recipient’s responsibility to sign for the correct number of packages as shown on the carrier’s delivery consignment note.

Should delivery be refused at the delivery address (for any reason other than damages/missing items), and re-requested for another date, you will be charged for the second delivery attempt, since we met our delivery obligations with the initial delivery attempt.

Damaged and/or Missing Items

We endeavour to provide the best Customer Service possible. Should anything go wrong, you have missing or damaged items, we will make every effort to resolve the issue quickly.

If products arrive in a damaged condition you must make a note on the carrier’s delivery consignment note and inform us within 24 hours of the delivery (preferably at the time of delivery).

If boxes look damaged on delivery we recommend clearly marking the consignment note as “damaged”. Often it will only be the outer carton that is damaged and the goods inside are fine, so we would normally advise you to accept the delivery; however it is within your rights to reject the delivery. We request that you either accept or reject the whole consignment. Please contact us whilst the delivery driver is with you if you are unsure of what to do.

If there are shortages you must make a note on the carrier’s delivery consignment note and inform us within 3 days of the delivery (preferably at the time of delivery).

You have 7 days to report missing or damaged parts from your product. Please ensure all parts are checked off as per the manual before you make a claim.

If you find that there is a defect in the product that was not caused by the shipping, contact QUADRO Australia and this will be processed as a warranty claim. See Warranty

Cancellations & Order Changes

If you change an order before it has dispatched, it will incur an admin fee of $15.00.

If you wish to cancel an order without charges, it must be done no later than the day before it is due to be dispatched.

If you cancel your order via telephone your order will be put on hold until we receive written confirmation of the cancellation. You must confirm your wish to cancel the order in writing via email or post. Your order will not be considered cancelled until notification in writing is received.

Charges will be incurred if you cancel your order anytime from the day it is due to be dispatched, so if you have concerns or wish to cancel we request you contact us before the goods are despatched for delivery. Please note it is your responsibility to return the goods to us at your cost. See Returns & Refunds
