What time will my order be delivered?

As orders are dispatched with Australia Post we cannot guarantee a time of delivery. If your order is being delivered to a business address, please enter the opening times in the delivery instructions box during checkout (please note, these instructions are not guaranteed times for delivery).

Can Australia Post leave my delivery at the front door?

Please note, some larger parcels may be delivered directly to a local post office for collection. 

If you have set up a free Australia Post My Post Account - https://auspost.com.au/auth/login, then you will receive an SMS or email on the day of delivery where you can opt for safe drop or redirection to another address. Redirecting to another address may cause a delay in the delivery, depending on the location. 

What happens if I am not at home to receive the delivery?

Australia Post usually attempts delivery to the address. If no one is available to take the delivery, they will either leave a calling card for collection at a local post office or leave it in a safe place, if deemed appropriate.  

Please note, some larger parcels may go straight to a post office for collection. We cannot guarantee delivery to the address stated on the order.  

How much is delivery?

Hoselink offers free delivery within Australia for all orders with products totaling $99 or more. Orders with products totaling under $99 incur a $7.95 flat-rate delivery fee.

The item I want is out of stock. Will you be getting more stock?

If an item is listed as out of stock on the website, we will be getting more stock in. If there is no due date on the product page when you click on the item, then we do not currently have an estimated date of arrival.

A pre-order is a regular order but with a delay to the dispatch date. The product information page will indicate the expected arrival date and once the shipment arrives in the warehouse, your pre-order will be dispatched as quickly as possible.
When you place a pre-order, our system requires payment at the time of ordering.
If ordering multiple items, all items on the order will be held until the pre-ordered item is in stock, then sent together.

Phone – 1300 900 617

For items that cannot be replaced, we will offer a credit to be used on a future purchase or a refund. If we require the item to be returned for repair or inspection, we will supply a pre-paid postage label so you can return the item at no cost to you, via any local Australia Post outlet.
