Stock

Delivery

Q. When will my order arrive?

A. All* orders received before 2.50pm Monday - Friday (excluding Public Holidays) will be dispatched the same day via CourierPost's 'Signature Required' overnight courier service. Urban deliveries are generally before midday the next day but rural deliveries may take a little longer.

*Cable rolls and very large orders are dispatched via Bullet Freights' two day delivery service.

Q. What happens if there is nobody to sign for the delivery?

A. If the courier cannot obtain a signature at a delivery address, a calling card will be left requesting that the CourierPost office be contacted to arrange a suitable delivery time.

Q. Can you deliver to PO Boxes?

A. Yes, CourierPost will deliver to PO Boxes.

Q. What does the term Drop Shipment mean?

A. Drop Shipment means that no Cables Direct picking list will be included in your order. A generic picking list will be included with your company details so your customer thinks that you have supplied the product directly. If for some reason the delivery cannot be made, the courier may contact you directly for additional delivery information.

You can select the Drop Shipment option during the order process when you specify a delivery address.
