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.
