Delivery Information

1. Shipping

Delivery

At April & Oak, we utilise the following shipping and delivery methods:

Australia Post

Many lightweight items, in addition to small furniture items, can be shipped via Australia Post. Our standard shipping arrangement will require a signature upon delivery; however, you can select an option at checkout to leave the order at your door. If you are not at home at the time of delivery, a notice with alternative arrangements will be left at your residence (usually your parcel will be stored at your local post office for pick up).

Couriers and Freight Companies

For larger items that cannot be shipped via Australia Post, we will send them through one of several freight carriers. Our freight deliveries are sent straight to your doorstep and require a signature upon delivery to acknowledge that the items have been received in a reasonable order. Due to liability issues, the customer is responsible for bringing any merchandise into their home, so we recommend that you have someone available to help you unload, unpack and install your furniture.

Items will be delivered to the address you provided when placing the order. If you provide a PO box as the delivery address we may need to contact you for an alternative delivery address because some of our shipping partners are unable to deliver to a PO box. We suggest you provide a street address for delivery if you are purchasing furniture items.

If for any reason, our shipping partner is not able to successfully deliver your order they should leave a card with further delivery instructions. In these situations, April & Oak reserves the right to charge you for any additional costs incurred (e.g. shipping and storage) or to cancel the sale contract, in which case, we will fully refund you the net amount (i.e. the amount you paid minus shipping costs or storage costs).

Upon the arrival of your package, please note any damage to the box as well as any damage to the item itself. If you feel that the damage to an item or a box is too severe please refuse the package. There is no need to refuse all delivered packages if most are in good condition.

In very exceptional cases where delivery may result in unusually high freight charges (including, but not limited to, remote delivery locations, inner-city deliveries, island deliveries, etc.), April & Oak reserves the right to cancel an order. Please contact us first if you'd like to check if your location may be subject to unusually high freight charges.

What is the authority to leave (ATL)?

All online orders will be dispatched with ‘Authority to Leave’ at the time of purchase.

By ticking the box or selecting 'yes' at the checkout page on the website, you've selected to have our nominated courier leave your parcel at your unattended premises in accordance with your instructions.

You agree that the parcel is deemed 'delivered' when left at your premises.

Although the courier will use their discretion, if they do not think it is safe to leave your parcel unattended, they will take your parcel to the depot and will leave a card to call.

Please note that April & Oak will not be held liable for any stock loss, due to theft or negligence if an authority to leave is selected at the time of checkout, and proof of delivery has been provided from our courier.
