Shipping Policy
Australia-wide Shipping
We ship to addresses across Australia from our network of warehouses and suppliers. A small number of remote locations may not be eligible for delivery. If your address is one of them, we'll let you know promptly.
Your order may be sent from a wholesaler, warehouse or retailer partner, so the packaging may not always show the DEAL FIRST name.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address and order. You'll see the total before you pay.
Special Orders and Backorders
Special order products refer to items that are not standard inventory or items currently out of stock that must be requested directly from an external supplier. By placing a special order, you acknowledge and agree to the unique processing restrictions outlined below.
Dispatch Timeframes
Unlike standard stocked items which typically ship within 1–2 business days, special order items require additional fulfillment timelines.
- Standard Stock: Dispatched within 1–2 business days.
- Special Orders / Backorders: Expected dispatch ranges between 5 business days to 4 weeks, depending on supplier availability and transit logistics.
Any estimated delivery windows provided at the time of purchase are guidelines and subject to supplier supply chain fluctuations.
Delivery Times
Estimated delivery times, counted from when your order is dispatched:
- Metropolitan areas: 2 to 5 business days
- Regional areas: 2 to 7 business days
- Rural and remote areas: 3 to 10 business days
Tracking
Once your order ships, we'll email you a tracking number where the shipping method supports tracking. Larger orders may arrive in more than one parcel.
Late or Missing Parcels
If your parcel hasn't arrived within the estimated time, or tracking hasn't updated for several days, please contact us with your order number and we'll follow it up with the carrier.
Special Order and Backorder Cancellations
Once a special order or backorder is placed with our supplier, the order cannot be cancelled. Cancellations will only be authorized if the supplying manufacturer permits a penalty-free cancellation to us. If any supplier administrative fees or restocking fees are incurred during a requested cancellation, these costs will be passed on to the customer.
