Shipping

We know you want your Art Supplies in your hands as soon as possible!

Here at Art Shed, we do our best to ensure a quick turnaround on all orders so that your package gets to the postie and then to you as quickly as possible. However, dispatch time doesn’t mean delivery time, and once it is picked up from our warehouse, the time it takes to get to you is out of our hands.

Delivery information

We are unable to promise delivery timeframes, but tracking is provided for all orders once dispatched.

Australia Post will attempt delivery of your item and if there is no one at home, they will leave a collection card so you can collect the parcel from your local post office.

If there is somewhere safe to leave your delivery, please make sure the 'Signature Required' box is not ticked.

Larger items are sent via Startrack Express. Their couriers will attempt a delivery to your street address and if there is no one at home, they will leave a card so you can arrange a more suitable delivery time.

We recommend customers select Express Post for urgent orders, these will be dispatched with priority the following day, and delivery is normally about 1-2 business days for metro VIC, SA, TAS, ACT, QLD and NSW.  All 'Express' deliveries will require a signature and cannot be left.
For WA, Northern Territory, and remote locations it usually takes about 2-3 days.

Standard Post delivery can be expected within about 2-5 business days for metro VIC, SA, TAS, ACT, QLD, and NSW. For WA, Northern Territory, and remote locations it takes about 6-8 days.

If you purchase a large item that will be sent by Star Track Express couriers, delivery can be expected within about 3-6 business days for VIC, SA, ACT, QLD and NSW. For TAS, WA, Northern Territory, and remote locations it takes about 6-8 days.
 

*Important things to Note

  • If Signature Required is ticked on your order, it will be taken to the Post Office for collection if you are not home.

  • All Express Post deliveries require a signature, regardless of special notes or if the box is ticked.

  • Please be mindful that Victorian public holidays may affect delivery times. 

  • Orders placed on a weekend or public holiday will be sent the next possible business day.

  • It is up to the purchaser to follow the tracking provided and let us know if there are delivery issues within 30 days.

  • Same-day dispatch does not mean same-day delivery; delivery times vary depending on your postcode.

  • We ship from our Melbourne Store directly to you, so you get your Art Supplies as soon as possible.

  • During sale periods, the 11 am guarantee dispatch may be affected. 

 

Express Post

Express Post remains Australia Post's fastest postal service, but we can't promise it will guarantee next-day delivery.

 

What are the different postage options?

eParcel Standard - This is the most commonly used postage method; we have a good deal with Australia Post and, therefore, are able to pass on those rates to you. The rates are calculated based on the size and weight of the items ordered.

eParcel Express - Express Post delivery network provides the fastest possible delivery.

Startrack Bulky Freight Delivery – In the case that your order includes bulky items it will be shipped via courier, we use Startrack Express. This applies to items over 22kgs or larger than 100cm. Please note courier service fees can be higher than standard post charges.
 
NOTE - Express Post orders must be placed by 11 am to be dispatched the same day. This may not be possible during the Christmas period.

Art Shed cannot guarantee next-day delivery. Once the parcel has been sent, it will be in Australia Post’s hands, and delivery periods to certain regions can vary. Also, please consider public holidays, as they can affect the dispatch and delivery of your parcel.

 

How do I track my parcel?

Once your parcel has been sent, you will receive tracking information via email. You can also log into your account and find the tracking number there. Australia Post will also send you tracking updates, it's recommended to use the AusPost App to monitor your deliveries. It is up to you to follow the tracking, as we are unable to monitor the progress of individual deliveries.

If you have not received tracking information, and your delivery has not arrived within a reasonable time frame (7-15 days) - please contact us.

It is not possible for us to follow up with Australia Post after too much time has passed.

 

Issues with your order?

If upon delivery of your order there is any damage or discrepancy of goods supplied this must be reported to Art Shed within 7 business days of receipt of goods in order to be rectified. In this unlikely event, please send information along with photos to customerservice@artshedonline.com.au - our team will assess the concerns and do everything in our power to reach a resolution that is favourable for all parties.
