How can I contact PartsBox.com.au?
Shipping
How will you ship my order?
Orders are shipped through Australia Post or TNT, depending on your item(s). All items that are classified as Dangerous Goods, Bulky or Large Items will always be shipped through TNT.
How can I track my delivery?
When you make a purchase from PartsBox.com.au you will receive an email with a tracking number within 24 hours of your order being sent. You can use this tracking number to track your order but please note no information will be available until the parcel has been scanned by Australia Post or TNT.
How long will it take for my order to arrive?
At PartsBox.com.au we ship Australia wide and all orders are typically dispatched within 24 hours after payment has been completed. (Excluding weekends and Public Holidays). This can vary at peak times such as Christmas and times that we run special promotions or sales.
Deliveries are made between Monday and Friday during business hours (sorry the Postman doesn’t work on weekends). Delivery times can also vary, but are generally for Australia Post 2 – 3 days for Express Shipping (this also varies depending on your location) and 3 to 5 days for Standard Shipping to metropolitan areas. For regional and remote areas within Australia, please allow at least 10 working days for delivery from the receipt of your order and once payment has been received, to receive your order.
For all orders shipped through TNT and placed before 2pm, items should generally be received overnight (excluding weekends or Public Holidays) or at the most within 2 - 3 business days, depending on your location. When the shipping is calculated, an estimated days of arrival is shown, please use the estimated arrival as a guide, this is calculated by your location & are generally quicker than noted.
If you have placed an Order Now order the above shipping estimates still apply with regards to shipping. Your order however will incur a slightly longer lead time before it is shipped which will allow for us to get your item ordered and into stock before it being sent to you. If you place an Order Now order we’ll contact you and advise when you can expect to receive your order.
Delivery time is subject to the availability of stock and may be extended by up to 30 days by us. If for any reason your order, or part of your order cannot be shipped to you on time, or at all, you will be notified as soon as possible.
Will all of my order be shipped together and at the same time?
In most cases yes, but on the odd occasion we may need to send parts of your order separately. If this happens you will be provided with tracking information for all of the separately sent packages.
Can I pick up my order from you?
Unfortunately at this time we haven't got a location for pickup.
Do you deliver to PO Boxes?
Yes, we can deliver to PO boxes but only for small items shipped using the regular or express flat rate options. These options are only available for small items. All other products unfortunately cannot be shipped to PO Boxes, sorry.
Will I have to sign for my delivery?
Yes, all orders must be signed for at delivery, you can modify your authority to leave option through your Auspost account. As a precaution we require signature for delivery.
What if I’m not at home or at work when my order arrives?
Do we ship internationally?
Unfortunately we don't, due to the high cost and taxes of shipping internationally. At this stage we only ship Australia wide.
Why is the shipping so high on some products?
To ensure we provide the best service we can, we aim to charge the right amount to cover freight costs.
Some products are heavy, long or require a pallet, which incurs higher fees by freight companies.
Freight for bigger items is calculated automatically by a freight calculator set at freight companies calculations, taking into account where you are requiring it to be shipped to.
Some states such as Western Australia and Tasmania may attract higher freight fees due to the length of distance.
Light products and smaller products are at a flat rate fee as these are generally easier to keep at a low freight cost.
Why is my order in a box for a completely different product?
Majority of the time your order will be shipped in an Auspost bag but if it's a large order we may reuse the packaging and boxes sent from our supplier in an effort to cut down on packaging use. Not only does this benefit the enviroment, this keeps costs on our products and shipping down as we aren't using custom boxes or fancy packaging to send orders in.
If it's a weird shape product, we may get creative and create our own packaging from boxes. So it may not be the prettiest but we're more focused on trying to get the product to you.
Orders
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, you can change or cancel your order, however as all orders are typically dispatched within 24 hours of payment being received, you will need to contact us as soon as you can, and before we ship your order. At this time we can let you know if your order is able to be changed or cancelled or if it has already been shipped.
How do I choose the right part?
It’s easy! Or it will be easy! We have to apologise, with so many new products being added we’re still working on getting our Parts Finder up to speed! Please stay tuned and keep a look out, it will be up and running very soon. Once it’s ready to go though you will be able to enter your vehicles’ make, model and year to find exactly the parts you’re looking for. The whole store will then be filtered specifically for your vehicle.
What if I can’t find the product that I am looking for?
PartsBox.com.au is new and we are updating it every day, which means just because you might not see the product you are looking for, doesn’t mean we don’t stock it. Please
Get In Touch if you’re unable to find what you’re looking for, we can definitely look at getting it in for you. Alternatively you can check back in a couple of days, it may just be there.
What should I do if I don’t know what I’m looking for?
Our Customer Service team is dedicated to helping you out however they can. If you are a bit lost and not sure how to find the part you are looking for, please do not hesitate to
Get In Touch and speak to one of our automotive professionals. We want to make sure you get exactly what you need.
Products
Add to Cart or Order Now?
Due to a high volume of stock moving in and out of our warehouse you may notice some products have the Add to Cart option and others have Order Now and a note: “More Stock Arriving Soon.” All products with Add to Cart are available to purchase as normal and will be delivered according to the shipping information provided on our
Shipping page. All those with the Order Now option can be ordered as normal as well, and generally we have more stock arriving within days, and if not, we will order the part or product on your behalf from our supplier and deliver to you asap. The Order Now option does incur a slightly longer lead time in which you will receive your order and varies by each individual part or product. If you place an Order Now order we’ll contact you and advise when you can expect to receive your order.
