Delivery Information

We are currently experiencing a period of high demand. Please allow an additional 3-4 days for order processing. We have extra warehouse shifts in place to accommodate the demand and are working towards achieving our standard processing times.  
For urgent latex & foil balloon orders, please consider using our express satchel option during checkout.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Freight Terms as at July 2023

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 [email protected] or phone us on 02 9931 7600 to get your account updated.
