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 

If you find the part you require online and the yellow button says 'add to cart' that means it's available for you to purchase and is in our warehouse ready to be despatched.

If you find the part you require online and the yellow button says 'notify me when back in stock' this means it can't be added to your cart, and when you click this it will add you to the email list so that you're notified as soon as we have them available in our warehouse.

If you've set your shipping address to an address outside of Australia, you'll receive shipping quotes for either Australia Post International Express, or DHL Express.

You can then pay and it will come through as a confirmed order.
