Delivery time frames

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

The majority of our orders are sent via Standard or Express Post with Australia Post which has tracking information.

Please note: Express Post remains Australia Post's fastest postal service, however their next-business-day delivery is not guaranteed.

Cut-off Dates for Art Shed Christmas 2023

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.

This year we recommend that you place your orders a few days before the following dates:

• Standard Post to VIC, NSW, ACT, SA, TAS & QLD: 18th December

• Express Post to VIC, NSW, ACT, SA, TAS & QLD: 21st December

• Standard Post to metro WA & NT: 15th December

• Express Post to metro WA & NT: 20th December

• New Zealand International Post: 7th December

For regional or remote areas please allow extra time.

It is important to note that these dates are Australia Post's own recommendation, but they are NOT guaranteed. For more information, please visit the Australia Post Website.

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.

*Important things to Note

• Please be mindful that VIC public holidays may affect delivery periods. If your order is urgent please contact us.

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

• 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 their next-business-day guarantee is currently suspended.

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. Art Shed cannot guarantee next day delivery – once the parcel has been sent, it is 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.
