Delivery

Reliable Delivery Service

  • We use Australia Post and Star Track to ship to all Australian customers. We may use an alternative courier company if deemed necessary.
  • We endeavour to ensure all orders received by 1:00pm (EST) are despatched same day.
  • We endeavour to ensure all other orders are despatched next business day.

Tracking your delivery

  • Once despatched, the courier company will notify you via email and/or SMS and provide consignment tracking information.
  • Progress of your delivery can be tracked via the courier’s website.

Time of delivery

  • All orders are despatched from Derrimut, Victoria, AUS.
  • You will be notified via email and/or SMS once your Products have been dispatched.
  • Please check your provided courier consignment tracking for consignment updates and estimated delivery times.
  • Please contact us at customerservice@vitaco.com.au if you require any assistance with courier tracking, delays, or other delivery issues.
  • We do not accept liability for delays in delivering Products which is beyond our reasonable control (for example, but not limited to, if stock is unavailable, there are issues with our delivery providers or if there is an adverse weather event).

Place of delivery

  • Products will be delivered to the address you provide in your order.
  • You must ensure that either someone is present to accept delivery or there is somewhere accessible, secure and safe to leave your order.
  • Our couriers require a signature to leave your delivery, so someone needs to be at the delivery address to accept and sign for delivery so you may wish to consider providing us with your work address for delivery if you won’t be home during business hours. Alternatively, you can change your delivery status to “no signature required” in both the delivery comments field when placing an order, or with the Australia Post consignment tracking page.
  • Deliveries are made Monday-Friday. Our couriers do not make weekend deliveries.

Warranties and liability

  • All Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund if the Products are faulty.
  • All other warranties and representations are excluded, except those which are non-excludable in law, including the Australian Consumer Law.
  • To assist us in resolving any problems you may experience, please inspect the Products upon delivery and report any shortage, discrepancy, defect, wrong specification or similar problem to us as soon as you become aware of it – see Refunds & Returns below for further information.
