Delivery Information

Pre-Christmas Orders:

We will be doing our best to process all orders received prior to Christmas.  Due to peak season demands on shipping companies, freight times often extend prior to Christmas.

Our recommended dates for placing orders that you would like delivered before Christmas are:

East Coast delivery, place orders by COB Thursday 14th December.

Other areas and West Coast, place orders by COB Monday 11th December.

Unfortunately no delivery guarantees provided by freight companies and shipping is beyond our control once your order leaves our warehouse.  Please track orders using Your Delivery Notification email which you will receive the day your orders is despatched.


SHIPPING DELAYS 

Please note that shipping companies are experiencing peak season shipping increases which can cause delays. Alpen will continue to despatch all orders, including overnight satchels, however there may be a delivery delay that is beyond our control.  Please refer to the relevant shipping company websites when you receive your tracking information for updates.

Alpen use Direct Freight as our main road freight provider, to check delivery estimates, please check their website directly: https://www.directfreight.com.au/ETACalculator.aspx

Freight Terms as at May 2021 

Alpen can deliver all over Australia using a variety of shipping companies.

We strive to dispatch orders from our warehouse in Cromer next day if received prior to 12 noon.  During various peak seasons, our warehouse picking can often push out to 2-3 days after order receipt.  We will communicate this above if delays are currently being experienced.  

If you have an urgent order or require a specific delivery date, please ensure this is communicated at the time of placing your order. 

If you place a "customer collect" order, please allow 24 hours between placing your order and collecting. 

Depending on your delivery address, goods can take approx. 2 days to metro locations and up to 2 weeks for remote country locations. 

We are still in the process of streamlining our freight and online ordering systems.  If you have signed up for an electronic copy of your invoice, your tracking details will also be contained.  If you are not receiving this, please email us on sales@alpen.com.au or phone us on 02 9931 7600 to get your account updated.
