Frequently Asked Questions

Currently the Carriers we offer are:

Australia Post (Express and Standard)

Startrack (Premium and Road)

TNT (Overnight and Road)

For Overseas customers: Australia Post International Express and DHL Express

All freight estimates are only estimates, they are not guaranteed. The estimates given to customers at the point of booking on the website are directly from the carrier themselves and are subject to change. The estimates are for the delivery time, they are not estimating the time of Despatch.

We are not same-day Despatch, we ship items from the previous 24 hours, and on Mondays we ship in order from 5pm on the previous Friday. Express orders are prioritised, and Standard freight orders can take 1-3 business days to be processed and sent.

For current information regarding your chosen carrier please visit their direct websites.

Covid-19 has impacted the delivery network due to staff shortages and backlogged freight in the delivery centres. Standard freight options can take a few more business days than usual to reach customers, and Express options although they’re prioritized are still seeing delays. Please continue to check your tracking and if there are any issues, contact our freight department at freight@patrolapart.com.au 

Weather events in VIC, QLD, NSW and WA late last year impacted deliveries due to flood water damage in delivery centres and certain areas were made unreachable. The rail links between the East Coast and WA were also impacted, with major restoration needed, delaying all rail operations which is where Standard freight is transported on. Freight is moving more smoothly now but there are still delays from time to time and we will endeavour to provide as many updates as possible when extreme weather events occur.

Patrolapart welcomes customers back into our store, we just ask that you not come in if you experience flu-like symptoms or have been in contact with a Covid-19 positive person. Masks are not required but are encouraged. Covid-19 related delays are still being experienced in the delivery network which is out of our control and we thank you for your patience in this time. If you have any delayed order queries, please contact our freight department at freight@patrolapart.com.au
